Welcome to CCSM

 

CCSM3.0 support is by specific machine (e.g. bluesky, blackforest) and not by machine type since compilers, load-levers, and other software can vary from one machine to another.

Category 1: Fully Supported Machines (e.g. Climate Validated)

Machine	Description	OS	Compiler	Network Type	Queue Software	Comments
bluesky	IBM Power 4	AIX	IBM XL	IBM	Load Leveler	None
bluesky32	IBM Power 4	AIX	IBM XL	IBM	Load Leveler	None
blackforest	IBM Power 3	AIX	IBM XL	IBM	Load Leveler	None
cheetah	IBM Power 4	AIX	IBM XL	IBM	Load Leveler	None
seaborg	IBM Power 3	AIX	IBM XL	IBM	Load Leveler	None

Category 2,3, and 4 machines are ones we are currently working on or considering. We will assist users in building the model on these machines.

Movement of these machines to category 1 requires a CCSM3.0 patch or release upgrade.

Category 2: Passes Restart Test

Machine	Description	OS	Compiler	Network Type	Queue Software	Comments
jazz	Intel Xeon	Linux	PGI	Myrinet	PBS	Tests pass. T31x3 climate validated. Needs load balancing.
tempest	SGI R12000	IRIX	MIPS	NumaLink	NQS	Formally called chinook. Not climate validated
ram	SGI Altix	Linux	Intel	NumaLink	PBS	ready for validation runs

 

Category 3: Builds, might run on these machines

Machine	Description	OS	Compiler	Network Type	Queue Software	Comments
anchorage	Intel Xeon	Linux	PGI	Gbit Ethernet	SPBS	On hold, bangkok work should apply to anchorage
bangkok	Intel Xeon	Linux	PGI	Gbit Ethernet	SPBS	Tests pass. T31x3 climate validated. Needs load balancing and code change mod merge.
lemieux	Alpha	OSF/1	Compaq	Myrinet	PBS	Fails some tests. Work stopped
moon	Earth Simulator	NEC	NEC	NEC	PBS	Still running pre-release

 

Category 4: Machines under consideration

Machine	Description	OS	Compiler	Network Type	Queue Software	Comments
phoenix	Cray X1	Unicos	Cray	CrayLink	PBS	Tests pass. T31x3 climate validated. Needs load balancing. Code mod merge, long term archive. Some additional performance work planned. Some bugs to fix.
calgary	Intel Xeon	Linux	PGI	InfiniBand	SPBS	Waiting for MPMD launch over InfiniBand
rex	AMD Opteron	Linux	PGI	Myrinet	PBS	Does not pass Exact Restart tests. On hold.
lightning	AMD Opteron	Linux	PGI	Myrinet	Load Sharing Facility	Work begun
