Directories: (set these variables based on your configuration/preferences and target machine):

e3sm = /path/to/github/code/checkout/E3SM

homme = $e3sm/components/homme
wdir = /path/to/working/directory/for/compiling/and/running
mach = $homme/cmake/machineFiles/cori-knl.cmake (see directory for other supported machines)

...

1. Load the same modules that a full E3SM case would load: (should be done once each time you login)

   1. E3SM’s CIME provides a script which will give the csh output needed to load the correct modules and other configuration settings:

   2. eval `$e3sm/cime/scripts/Tools/get_case_env`

   3. Most users will be using the bash shell, in which case examine the output of $e3sm/cime/scriptsscript/Tools/get_case_env and modify to work with bash

2. Run cmake from your $wdir

   1. Code Block
      language bash
      cd $wdir

      cmake -C $mach $homme

      make -j4 theta-l # optional step to see if code will compile

   2. (optional step to see if code will compile)

   3. For additional CMAKE options, see $homme/README.cmake. Options include number of vertical levels (default 26), type of output, native or lat/lon or disabled, ability to enable/disable energy diagnostics, ability to disable kokkos components (SL transport).

3. After step 2 is complete, one can build many different targets. The generic targets are:

   1. preqx, preqx_kokkos. E3SM v1 hydrostatic dycore (fortran Fortran and C++ version)

   2. theta-l, theta-l_kokkos. E3SM v2 NH dycore

   3. sweqx. shallow water version

   4. Then there are a host of specific targets such as “thetatheta-l-nlev20-native” native that are used by various test cases.

4. Run DCMIP2012 Test 3-1 (simple gravity wave)

   1. Code Block
      language bash
      cd $wdir/dcmip_tests/dcmip2012_test3.1_nh_gravity_waves/theta-l

      make

      install (copies test case related files from $homme)

      install # Copies test case related files from $homme ./build.sh

      (build the correct executable with correct compile time options for this test)

      ls jobscript-sh*.

      look

      # Build the correct executable with correct compile time options for this test

   2. Look for a suitable jobscript for your machine

      . most

      with ls jobscript-sh*. Most test cases include

      “jobscript

      jobscript-snl.

      sh”

      sh which runs on E3SM institutional clusters, and jobscript-knl.sh for NERSC Cori. Some editing may be

      neccessary

      necessary.

      1. The jobscript usually runs included NCL scripts for creating standard test case plots from the output. This may require the user to load an ncl module.

5. All the DCMIP2012 and DCMIP2016 test cases can be run similar to the above example for Test 3-1.

6. Other standalone HOMME test cases of interest. These usually contain a single script that will configure and build the model (assuming step1 above is done)

   1. Held-Suarez: see $homme/test/held_suarez0 and the script “hs hs.job.job”

   2. NGGPS and V1 benchmarks: see $homme/test/benchmark and associated scripts.

7. HOMME doubly periodic test cases

...

Here we include two example Bash scripts, setup-homme.sh and jobscript-coriknl.sh, which execute the instructions above and submit a job to execute Test 3-1 (simple gravity wave).

...

Note: The setup can be a little finicky if you have been doing other work during your current session. It is recommended that you run this script from a ‘fresh’ session (i.e., logout and login).
