View source for Building mom5.0.2 (modular ocean model) on triolith

This page describes the compiling of the NOAA/GFLD MOM (modular ocean model) version 5.0.2 ([http://mom-ocean.org/web MOM home]) on NSC's triolith system ([http://www.nsc.liu.se/systems/triolith/ triolith]). Version 5 of MOM is an open source project released under the [https://github.com/BreakawayLabs/mom/blob/master/LICENSE GPL license].

1. Ensure the correct intel compile module and wrappers are loaded using:

:<code>module load build-environment/nsc-recommended</code>

2. Download source code to an appropriate folder (e.g. <tt>/home/${USER}/</tt>)

:<code>git clone git://github.com/BreakawayLabs/mom.git; cd mom; git checkout 5.0.2</code>

3. Copy the triolith specific config files <tt>environs.nsc.intel</tt> and <tt>mkmf.template.nsc.intel</tt> to the <tt>bin</tt> folder

:<code>cp /nobackup/global/struthers/Public/mom5.0.2/environs.nsc.intel /home/${USER}/mom/bin</code>
:<code>cp /nobackup/global/struthers/Public/mom5.0.2/mkmf.template.nsc.intel /home/${USER}/mom/bin</code>

4. Copy the compile script <tt>MOM_compile.nsc.intel.csh</tt> to the 'exp' folder

:<code>cp /nobackup/global/struthers/Public/mom5.0.2/MOM_compile.nsc.intel.csh /home/${USER}/mom/exp</code>

5. Run the compile script using the nsc.intel platform flag (example below is for the CM2M version of the model):

:<code>cd /home/${USER}/mom/exp</code>
:<code>./MOM_compile.nsc.intel.csh --type CM2M --platform nsc.intel</code>

6. Go and have a coffee, the compile takes quite some time.

7. Check in the folder <tt>/home/${USER}/mom/exec</tt>. If the build is successful there should be a <tt>nsc.intel</tt> folder which contains a <tt>CM2M</tt> folder with your executable.
