g2c for large model domains

[PerryShafran-NOAA]

Hi, there,

Under MET 9.1, y'all had developed for me a version of the g2c library that was to be used for a large domain; it is located currently on WCOSS under /gpfs/dell2/emc/verification/noscrub/emc.metplus/modulefiles/met/g2c_test. Now, it seems that I am getting a Bus error in running these large domains.

I'd really like to move this to MET 10.0.0. Should I still be using the g2c library for this? Do you have any reason why I should be getting a bus error when running point_stat? I hadn't seen this before until now; should be the same grid that had worked previously.

Thanks!

Perry

Hi @PerryShafran-NOAA.

Do you have any reason why I should be getting a bus error when running point_stat?

What version of point_stat are you running when you get a bus error?

I'd really like to move this to MET 10.0.0.

You should be able to use METv10.0 on WCOSS as described on our METplus 4.0 Existing Builds page without getting this error. You should also be able to use METv10.1.0-beta2 on WCOSS as described on our METplus 4.1 Existing Builds page without getting this error. These versions were built using g2c/1.6.3, which should have eliminated this problem.

If you still experience problems with these versions please send us the command line that you are running and please send the error that you are receiving so that we can try to reproduce the problem. Thanks!

I believe this worked, but please keep this open until I confirm.

@jprestop We did the NCO install with the g2c fix, correct? (/gpfs/dell1/nco/ops/nwprod/met.v9.1.3)

@PerryShafran-NOAA Thanks! Is it ok if I mark this Discussion as answered (I unmarked it when you said you got the error with METv10.00) and lock this Discussion?

[PerryShafran-NOAA]

Yes, it looks like the job is still running and producing output. I think you can close the discussion, but I will continue to monitor to see that things are all right.

Thanks @PerryShafran-NOAA. Please follow up here when you feel confident there are no issues so that we can lock this conversation to prevent future posts. Our team has decided that once discussions have been answered, and the answer has been confirmed, we'll lock them. We want to encourage users to ask new questions in new discussions rather than posting to old ones. Hopefully that'll make the questions/answers easier for other users to follow.

[PerryShafran-NOAA]

I think that we are good now as I no longer am having any issues. You may lock this conversation.

Thanks @PerryShafran-NOAA! Great news! I will go ahead and lock this conversation now.
