The Design Document page provides a description of the algorithms, implementation and planned testing including unit, verification, validation and performance testing. Please read  Step 1.3 Performance Expectations that explains feature documentation requirements from the performance group point of view.

The first table in Design Document gives overview of this document, from this info the Design Documents Overview page is automatically created.

In the table below, 4.Equ means Equations and Algorithms, 5.Ver means Verification, 6.Perf - Performance, 7. Val - Validation

  • Equations: Document the equations that are being solved and describe algorithms
  • Verification Plans: Define tests that will be run to show that implementation is correct and robust. Involve unit tests to cover range of inputs as well as benchmarks.
  • Performance expectations: Explain the expected performance impact from this development
  • Validation Plans: Document what process-based, stand-alone component, and coupled model runs will be performed, and with what metrics will be used to assess validity

Use the symbols below (copy and paste) to indicate if the section is in progress or done or not started.

Title: RRM

Requirements and Design

ACME Atmosphere Group

Date:  

Summary

The purpose of this task is to create a regionally-refined test case for the ACME model.  The refined area covers the continental United States (CONUS) and has the same resolution as the target resolution of the ACME model, 1/4-degree or ne120.   The low resolution area covers the remainder of the globe and is 1-degree, or ne30.  This configuration will enable developers wishing to see how their parameterization performs in high-resolution without having to run at global high-resolution.   This configuration can be used when set-up as a new case by the user.  See How to run the regionally refined model (RRM) for information on how to run with this configuration.   Verification, performance testing, and validation are in progress.
 

Requirements

Requirement: RRM CONUS case configuration

Date last modified:  
Contributors: Erika Roesler Mark Taylor

Grid, initial condition, and boundary condition files were uploaded to ACME data repository.  A new case was developed on a feature branch and merged to master.

Each requirement is to be listed under a ”section” heading, as there will be a one-to-one correspondence between requirements, design, proposed imple- mentation and testing. Requirements should not discuss technical software issues, but rather focus on model capability. To the extent possible, require- ments should be relatively independent of each other, thus allowing a clean design solution, implementation and testing plan.

Algorithmic Formulations

Design solution: short-description-of-proposed-solution-here

Contributors: Erika Roesler Mark Taylor, Steve Klein

Grid file was generated and approved by ACME Atmos group.  From this grid file the initial and boundary condition files were generated.   The new case was then configured. 

 

Design and Implementation

This section should detail the plan for implementing the design solution for requirement XXX. In general, this section is software-centric with a focus on software implementation. Pseudo code is appropriate in this section. Links to actual source code are appropriate. Project management items, such as svn branches, timelines and staffing are also appropriate. How do we typeset pseudo code?

 

Planned Verification and Unit Testing 

Verification and Unit Testing: Test CONUS case on other ACME-supported machines

Date last modified:   
Contributors: Erika Roesler , Qi Tang, Wuyin Lin

Members of this group downloaded the feature branch and tested the case on their institutional clusters.  If the case ran for the specified time, then this test and requirement was considered successful.   A unit test for the RRM CONUS case in under consideration. 

 

Planned Validation Testing

How will XXX be tested? What observational or other dataset will be used?  i.e. how will be we know when we have met requirement XXX. Will these unit tests be included in the ongoing going forward?
