Software Stack for JEDI applications

This repository will facilitate building widely used packages by JEDI from source, instead of using existing package managers e.g. HomeBrew for OSX, apt-get for Linux, etc.

The following software can be built with the scripts under ush and instructions that follow:

• GCC
• Jasper
• Zlib
• SZip
• OpenMPI
• MPICH
• HDF5
• NetCDF
• Udunits
• NetCDF Climate Operators
• Boost
• Eigen
• FFTW
• ecCodes
• ESMF
• ESMA-Baselibs

Pre-requisites

• Lua Modules - for software stack management
• wget, curl, git - for fetching packages
• Other

Packages

The individual packages will be fetched from their respective sources, but can be downloaded, untarred and placed underpkg if desired. Most build scripts will look for directory pkg/pkgName-pkgVersion e.g. pkg/hdf5-1_10_3.

Compiler options

Set the default compiler to build the stack.

export COMPILER="gnu-7.3.0"

MPI options

Set the default MPI flavour to build the stack.

export MPI="" # Disable MPI for some software e.g. HDF5, NetCDF, Boost, etc.
export MPI="openmpi-3.1.2"
export MPI="mpich-3.2.1"

Installation path

Specify the installation path for packages.

export PREFIX="$HOME/opt"

If $PREFIX is anything other than /opt, the user will have to define an environment variable export OPT=$PREFIX in order for the modulefiles to correctly define the installation path of the packages.

Verify installation

Check the installation; will execute ctest or make check

export CHECK="YES|NO" # Enable|Disable checking

Todos

Update ush/deploy_modules.sh to automagically create appropriate modulefiles for packages from templates.
