esg_grid

The uw mode for configuring and running the regional_esg_grid component.

uw esg_grid --help
usage: uw esg_grid [-h] [--version] TASK ...

Execute esg_grid tasks

Optional arguments:
  -h, --help
      Show help and exit
  --version
      Show version info and exit

Positional arguments:
  TASK
    namelist_file
      The namelist file
    provisioned_run_directory
      Run directory provisioned with all required content
    run
      A run
    runscript
      The runscript
    validate
      Validate the UW driver config

All tasks take the same arguments. For example:

uw esg_grid run --help
usage: uw esg_grid run [-h] [--version] [--config-file PATH] [--batch]
                       [--dry-run] [--graph-file PATH]
                       [--key-path KEY[.KEY...]] [--quiet] [--verbose]

A run

Optional arguments:
  -h, --help
      Show help and exit
  --version
      Show version info and exit
  --config-file PATH, -c PATH
      Path to UW YAML config file (default: read from stdin)
  --batch
      Submit run to batch scheduler
  --dry-run
      Only log info, making no changes
  --graph-file PATH
      Path to Graphviz DOT output [experimental]
  --key-path KEY[.KEY...]
      Dot-separated path of keys leading through the config to the driver's
      configuration block
  --quiet, -q
      Print no logging messages
  --verbose, -v
      Print all logging messages

Examples

The examples use a configuration file named config.yaml with contents similar to:

esg_grid:
  execution:
    batchargs:
      nodes: 1
      stdout: /path/to/runscript.out
      walltime: "08:00:00"
    executable: /path/to/esg_grid
  namelist:
    base_file: /path/to/base_file
    update_values:
      regional_grid_nml:
        delx: 0.11
        dely: 0.11
        lx: -214
        ly: -128
        pazi: 0.0
        plat: 38.5
        plon: -97.5
    validate: true
  run_dir: /path/to/esg_grid
platform:
  account: me
  scheduler: slurm

Its contents are described in depth in section esg_grid.

  • Run esg_grid on an interactive node

    $ uw esg_grid run --config-file config.yaml
    

    The driver creates a runscript.esg_grid file in the directory specified by run_dir: in the config and runs it, executing esg_grid.

  • Run esg_grid via a batch job

    $ uw esg_grid run --config-file config.yaml --batch
    

The driver creates a runscript.esg_grid file in the directory specified by run_dir: in the config and submits it to the batch system. Running with --batch requires a correctly configured platform: block in config.yaml, as well as appropriate settings in the execution: block under esg_grid:.

  • Specifying the --dry-run flag results in the driver logging messages about actions it would have taken, without actually taking any.

    $ uw esg_grid run --config-file config.yaml --batch --dry-run
    
  • The --key-path option can be used to navigate from the top of the config to the driver’s configuration block. For example, specifying --key-path foo.bar with config

    foo:
      bar:
        driver:
          # driver config block
    

    is equivalent to using config

    driver:
      # driver config block
    

    without specifying --key-path.

  • The run task depends on the other available tasks and executes them as prerequisites. It is possible to execute any task directly, which entails execution of any of its dependencies. For example, to create an esg_grid run directory provisioned with all the files, directories, symlinks, etc. required per the configuration file:

    $ uw esg_grid provisioned_run_directory --config-file config.yaml --batch
