`make_solo_mosaic`

The uw mode for configuring and running the UFS Utils preprocessing component make_solo_mosaic. Documentation for this UFS Utils component is here.

uw make_solo_mosaic --help

usage: uw make_solo_mosaic [-h] [--version] TASK ...

Execute make_solo_mosaic tasks

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

Positional arguments:
  TASK
    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 make_solo_mosaic run --help

usage: uw make_solo_mosaic 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:

make_solo_mosaic:
  config:
    dir: /path/to/input
    num_tiles: 1
    mosaic_name: ocean_mosaic
    periodx: 360
    periody: 360
    tile_file: C403_grid.tile7.halo6.nc
  execution:
    batchargs:
      cores: 1
      walltime: "00:01:00"
    executable: /path/to/make_solo_mosaic.exe
  run_dir: /path/to/rundir
platform:
  account: me
  scheduler: slurm

Its contents are described in section make_solo_mosaic.

Run make_solo_mosaic on an interactive node
```
$ uw make_solo_mosaic run --config-file config.yaml
```
The driver creates a runscript.make_solo_mosaic file in the directory specified by run_dir: in the config and runs it, executing make_solo_mosaic.
Run make_solo_mosaic via a batch job
```
$ uw make_solo_mosaic run --config-file config.yaml --batch
```
The driver creates a runscript.make_solo_mosaic 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 make_solo_mosaic:.

Looking at the run command in runscript.make_solo_mosaic shows us the specified executable as well as the YAML keys converted to appropriate command line flags.
```
time make_solo_mosaic --num_tiles 1 --dir /path/to/grid/ --tile_file C403_grid.tile7.halo6.nc --periodx 360 --periody 360
```
Specifying the --dry-run flag results in the driver logging messages about actions it would have taken, without actually taking any.
```
$ uw make_solo_mosaic 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.
