Data Types

write_cputime_cs

A control structure that regulates the writing of CPU time.

Functions/Subroutines

write_cputime_start_clock()

Evaluate the CPU time returned by SYSTEM_CLOCK at the start of a run.

mom_write_cputime_init()

Initialize the MOM_write_cputime module.

mom_write_cputime_end()

Close the MOM_write_cputime module.

write_cputime()

This subroutine assesses how much CPU time the model has taken and determines how long the model should be run before it saves a restart file and stops itself.

Detailed Description

By Robert Hallberg, May 2006.

This file contains the subroutine (write_cputime) that writes the summed CPU time across all processors to an output file. In addition, write_cputime estimates how many more time steps can be taken before 95% of the available CPU time is used, so that the model can be checkpointed at that time.

Type Documentation

type mom_write_cputime/write_cputime_cs

A control structure that regulates the writing of CPU time.

Type fields:
  • % initialized [logical] :: True if this control structure has been initialized.

  • % maxcpu [real] :: The maximum amount of CPU time per processor for which MOM should run before saving a restart file and quitting with a return value that indicates that further execution is required to complete the simulation [wall-clock seconds].

  • % start_time [type(time_type)] :: The start time of the simulation. Start_time is set in MOM_initialization.F90.

  • % startup_cputime [real] :: The CPU time used in the startup phase of the model [clock_cycles].

  • % prev_cputime [real] :: The last measured CPU time [clock_cycles].

  • % dn_dcpu_min [real] :: The minimum derivative of timestep with CPU time [steps clock_cycles-1].

  • % cputime2 [real] :: The accumulated CPU time [clock_cycles].

  • % previous_calls [integer] :: The number of times write_CPUtime has been called.

  • % prev_n [integer] :: The value of n from the last call.

  • % filecpu_ascii [integer] :: The unit number of the CPU time file.

  • % cpufile [character (len=200)] :: The name of the CPU time file.

Function/Subroutine Documentation

subroutine mom_write_cputime/write_cputime_start_clock(CS)

Evaluate the CPU time returned by SYSTEM_CLOCK at the start of a run.

Parameters:

cs :: The control structure set up by a previous call to MOM_write_cputime_init.

Call to:

clocks_per_sec max_ticks

Called from:

mom6

subroutine mom_write_cputime/mom_write_cputime_init(param_file, directory, Input_start_time, CS)

Initialize the MOM_write_cputime module.

Parameters:
  • param_file :: [in] A structure to parse for run-time parameters

  • directory :: [in] The directory where the CPU time file goes.

  • input_start_time :: [in] The start model time of the simulation.

  • cs :: A pointer that may be set to point to the control structure for this module.

Call to:

clocks_per_sec max_ticks

Called from:

mom6

subroutine mom_write_cputime/mom_write_cputime_end(CS)

Close the MOM_write_cputime module.

Parameters:

cs :: The control structure set up by a previous call to MOM_write_cputime_init.

Called from:

write_cputime

subroutine mom_write_cputime/write_cputime(day, n, CS, nmax, call_end)

This subroutine assesses how much CPU time the model has taken and determines how long the model should be run before it saves a restart file and stops itself. Optionally this may also be used to trigger this module’s end routine.

Parameters:
  • day :: [inout] The current model time.

  • n :: [in] The time step number of the current execution.

  • cs :: The control structure set up by a previous call to MOM_write_cputime_init.

  • nmax :: [inout] The number of iterations after which to stop so that the simulation will not run out of CPU time.

  • call_end :: [in] If true, also call MOM_write_cputime_end.

Call to:

clocks_per_sec max_ticks mom_error_handler::mom_error mom_write_cputime_end
