Running MM5 on NASA
Goddard Space Flight Center Computing Systems
Jules Kouatchou and Christian Kammogne
The goal of this report is to provide a first hand documentation of the use of
the MM5 Mesoscale Model on parallel computer systems.
We give practical informations to users who will be executing MM5 on the NASA
Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) computing facilities.
This work is intended to familiarize potential users with the overall execution
procedures of MM5 on the Cray J90, T3E. We describe how to include datasets
for single and multiple domains, how to select physics parameters, how to
visualize output data, etc.
We also present scaling perfomances (timing, speedup, memory usage, I/O) of
the MM5 code.
