New page

This version is from 2011. Look for the latest version available at NCI at [[WRF | this page]].
='''WRF (version 3.3) Installation'''=

=='''Forword'''==

This document is intended to serve as a handy reference for new users in building and running the WRF and WPS on the RAIJIN cluster at NCI without the need of making site-specific modification to WRF and WPS.

==Source Code==

The source code tar files of WRF and WPS (V3.3) have been downloaded and placed in the subdirectory /projects/WRF/Downloads on the RAIJIN cluster. The uncompressed source code for V3.3 of WRF and WPS, which have been ported to build on RAIJIN cluster, is located in the subdirectory /projects/WRF/WRFV_3.3.

=='''Prerequisites'''==

Get an NCI account, please refer to the NCI web site for more details on how to get an account (<span style="background-color: initial;">[[http://nf.nci.org.au/accounts/forms/user_registration.php]]</span> and<span style="background-color: initial;">[[http://nf.nci.org.au/accounts/forms/user_connection.php]]</span>)

On approval, you will get

Project ID: $PROJECT (e.g. w35)
User ID: $USER (e.g. abc123)

Read the NCI email about your account as well as their user guide webpage http://nf.nci.org.au/wiki/RaijinUserGuide

After you log in, change your password, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
passwd
</syntaxhighlight>
Check the loaded modules and you should already have the Intel compilers and OpenMPI loaded, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
module list -l
- Package -----------------------------+- Versions -+- Last mod. ------
Currently Loaded Modulefiles:
pbs 2013/05/13 0:17:55

openmpi/1.6.3 2013/04/02 4:20:55
</syntaxhighlight>
Load the required netcdf module if missing, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
module load netcdf/4.2.1.1
</syntaxhighlight>
If configuring to build GRIB2 support, run (tcsh):
<syntaxhighlight>
setenv JASPERINC /usr/include
setenv JASPERLIB /usr/lib64
</syntaxhighlight>
or in bash
<syntaxhighlight>
export JASPERINC=/usr/include
export JASPERLIB=/usr/lib64
</syntaxhighlight>
To enable large file support in NetCDF (This installation of NetCDF supports large file support), run(tcsh):
<syntaxhighlight>
setenv WRFIO_NCD_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT 1
</syntaxhighlight>
or in bash:
<syntaxhighlight>
export WRFIO_NCD_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT=1
</syntaxhighlight>

Create your personal subdirectory in /short/, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
mkdir -p /short/$PROJECT/$USER/WRF/WRFV_3.3
</syntaxhighlight>
Copy the WRF and WPS files to your /short/ subdirectory, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
cd /short/$PROJECT/$USER/WRF/WRFV_3.3
cp -rf /projects/WRF/WRFV_3.3/WRFV3 .
cp -rf /projects/WRF/WRFV_3.3/WPS .
</syntaxhighlight>
=='''Building WRF (ARW)'''==

Go to the /WRFV3/ subdirectory, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
cd /short/$PROJECT/$USER/WRF/WRFV_3.3/WRFV3/
</syntaxhighlight>
Start with a clean installation before compiling WRF, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
./clean -a
</syntaxhighlight>
Configure WRF, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
./configure
</syntaxhighlight>
You will be given four choices using Intel compiler. These choices range from compiling for a single processor job (serial), OpenMP shared-memory (smpar), to using distributed-memory (dmpar) or distributed Memory with shared memory (dm+sm).

----
<syntaxhighlight>
Please select from among the following build methods.
1. Linux x86_64 i486 i586 i686, ifort compiler with icc (serial)
2. Linux x86_64 i486 i586 i686, ifort compiler with icc (smpar)
3. Linux x86_64 i486 i586 i686, ifort compiler with icc (dmpar)
4. Linux x86_64 i486 i586 i686, ifort compiler with icc (dm+sm)
Enter selection [1-4] :
</syntaxhighlight>
Once an option is selected from above, a choice of what type of nesting (no nesting (0), basic (1), pre-set moves (2), or vortex following (3)) will be given.
----
<syntaxhighlight>
Compile for nesting? (0=no nesting, 1=basic, 2=preset moves, 3=vortex following) [default 0]: For options dmpar and dm+sm, the choice 0=no nesting is not applicable.
</syntaxhighlight>

A file configure.wrf should be created after configuring has completed.

To build WRF (the ARW core), use the script run_compile to submit it to the job queue, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
qsub run_compile
</syntaxhighlight>
After a successful build, one should see the following executable files for WRF (the ARW core):
<syntaxhighlight>
[abc123@vayu3 WRFV3]$ ls -l main/*.exe

-rwxr-xr-x 1 abc123 wrf 35559897 Aug 22 17:14 main/ndown.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 abc123 wrf 34988805 Aug 22 17:14 main/nup.exe

-rwxr-xr-x 1 abc123 wrf 38763058 Aug 22 17:13 main/wrf.exe
</syntaxhighlight>
=='''Building WPS'''==

Go to the /WPS/ subdirectory, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
cd /short/$PROJECT/$USER/WRF/WRFV_3.3/WPS/
</syntaxhighlight>
Load required module, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
module load ncl/6.1.2
</syntaxhighlight>
Start with a clean installation before compiling WPS, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
clean -a
</syntaxhighlight>
Configure WPS, run:
<syntaxhighlight>
./configure
</syntaxhighlight>
You will be given four choices using Intel compiler.
----
<syntaxhighlight>
Please select from among the following build methods.
1. PC Linux x86_64, Intel compiler serial, NO GRIB2
2. PC Linux x86_64, Intel compiler serial
3. PC Linux x86_64, Intel compiler DM parallel, NO GRIB2
4. PC Linux x86_64, Intel compiler DM parallel
Enter selection [1-4] :
</syntaxhighlight>
Choose one of options from above.

A file configure.wps should be created after configuring has completed.

To build WPS, use the script run_compile to submit it to the job queue. This will build the em_real version.
<syntaxhighlight>
qsub run_compile
</syntaxhighlight>
After a successful build, one should see the following executable files:
<syntaxhighlight>
[abc123@vayu3 WPS]$ ls -l *.exe

</syntaxhighlight>
Note that there are some warnings in the build output like warning: overriding commands for target `.c.o'. These are harmless and can be ignored.
