compass.mesh.spherical.SphericalBaseStep

class compass.mesh.spherical.SphericalBaseStep(test_case, name, subdir)[source]

A base class for steps that create a JIGSAW spherical mesh

Variables:

opts (jigsawpy.jigsaw_jig_t) – JIGSAW options for creating the mesh

__init__(test_case, name, subdir)[source]

Create a new step

Parameters:
  • test_case (compass.testcase.TestCase) – The test case this step belongs to

  • name (str) – the name of the step

  • subdir ({str, None}) – the subdirectory for the step. The default is name

Methods

__init__(test_case, name, subdir)

Create a new step

add_input_file([filename, target, database, ...])

Add an input file to the step (but not necessarily to the MPAS model).

add_model_as_input()

make a link to the model executable and add it to the inputs

add_namelist_file(package, namelist[, ...])

Add a file with updates to namelist options to the step to be parsed when generating a complete namelist file if and when the step gets set up.

add_namelist_options(options[, out_name, mode])

Add the namelist replacements to be parsed when generating a namelist file if and when the step gets set up.

add_output_file(filename)

Add the output file that must be produced by this step and may be made available as an input to steps, perhaps in other test cases.

add_streams_file(package, streams[, ...])

Add a streams file to the step to be parsed when generating a complete streams file if and when the step gets set up.

constrain_resources(available_resources)

Constrain cpus_per_task and ntasks based on the number of cores available to this step

process_inputs_and_outputs()

Process the inputs to and outputs from a step added with compass.Step.add_input_file() and compass.Step.add_output_file().

run()

Finish up the step.

runtime_setup()

Update attributes of the step at runtime before calling the run() method.

save_and_plot_cell_width(lon, lat, cell_width)

Save the cell width field on a lon/lat grid to self.cell_width_filename and plot

set_resources([cpus_per_task, ...])

Update the resources for the subtask.

setup()

Add output files

update_namelist_at_runtime(options[, out_name])

Update an existing namelist file with additional options.

update_namelist_pio([out_name])

Modify the namelist so the number of PIO tasks and the stride between them consistent with the number of nodes and cores (one PIO task per node).

update_streams_at_runtime(package, streams, ...)

Update the streams files during the run phase of this step using the given template and replacements.
