Dear E3SM Team,
A new release of E3SM-Unified is available: 1.11.0. E3SM-Unified is a combination conda and spack environment that includes a large amount of analysis and pre- and post-processing software for E3SM developers and users.
Notable Updates:
ChemDyg, E3SM-Diags, e3sm_to_cmip, LIVVKit, MPAS-Analysis, NCO, xcdat, zppy, and zstash
New Packages:
CDO, cime_gen_domain, mosaic, squadgen, zppy-interfaces
NOTE: This will be the last release to support the CDAT packages: cdms2, cdtime, cdutil, genutil, etc. If you use these tools, please find alternatives because they will no longer be supported or maintained.
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 (login or 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
The new version has been deployed on all supported machines: Acme1, Andes, Anvil, Chicoma, Chrysalis, Compy, Frontier, Perlmutter and ALCF Polaris (not to be confused with the E3SM Polaris software).
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.
The tools needed to build E3SM documentation locally with mkdoc
are also included to E3SM-Unified.
