Dear E3SM Team,
A new release of E3SM-Unified is available: 1.10.0. This update includes features needed for the upcoming /wiki/spaces/ET/pages/3966238754. E3SM-Unified is a combination conda and spack environment that includes a large amount of analysis and pre- and post-processing software for E3SM users. The new version includes updates to E3SM-Diags, NCO, xcdat, and zstash packages. New packages include e3sm-tools, R and UXarray.
Activation
As in previous versions, you can access the environment as usual by sourcing an activation script:
Acme1:
source /p/user_pub/e3sm_unified/envs/load_latest_e3sm_unified_acme1.sh
Andes:
source /ccs/proj/cli115/software/e3sm-unified/load_latest_e3sm_unified_andes.sh
Anvil:
source /lcrc/soft/climate/e3sm-unified/load_latest_e3sm_unified_anvil.sh
Chicoma:
source /usr/projects/e3sm/e3sm-unified/load_latest_e3sm_unified_chicoma-cpu.sh
Chrysalis:
source /lcrc/soft/climate/e3sm-unified/load_latest_e3sm_unified_chrysalis.sh
Compy:
source /share/apps/E3SM/conda_envs/load_latest_e3sm_unified_compy.sh
Frontier:
source /ccs/proj/cli115/software/e3sm-unified/load_latest_e3sm_unified_frontier.sh
Perlmutter (CPU nodes):
source /global/common/software/e3sm/anaconda_envs/load_latest_e3sm_unified_pm-cpu.sh
ALCF Polaris:
source /lus/grand/projects/E3SMinput/soft/e3sm-unified/load_latest_e3sm_unified_polaris.sh
Details
New versions of zppy and E3SM-Diags were needed with new features for the E3SM Tutorial. We took the opportunity to add some new tools and update others as well. The new version has been deployed on most supported machines: Andes, Anvil, Chicoma, Chrysalis, Compy, Frontier, Perlmutter and ALCF Polaris (not to be confused with the E3SM Polaris software). It will be deployed on Acme1 later this week.
Note: We encourage users at OLCF to use Andes, rather than Frontier, for processing and analysis.
On 6 machines (Anvil, Chicoma, Chrysalis, Compy, Frontier and Perlmutter) there are 6 packages of interest -- ESMF, ILAMB, MOAB, NCO, TempestExtremes and TempestRemap -- that have been built with Spack using system compilers and MPI libraries. When you load E3SM-Unified on a compute node, you will have access to these versions, which can be run in parallel and which will typically run more efficiently than their counterparts in conda packages.
