[Wrf-users] WRF Parallel Benchmark on WRF v2.2

[Jan Ploski]

Hello,

I tried running the conus12km_2001 benchmark from 
http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/WG2/bench/ using WRF v2.2 (not using WRF 
v2.1.1 as recommeded on the page). I got the following error from wrf.exe:

  -------------- FATAL CALLED ---------------
  FATAL CALLED FROM FILE:  module_configure.b  LINE:     136
  module_configure: initial_config: error reading namelist
  -------------------------------------------

or, with strace:

...
lseek(3, 4096, SEEK_SET)                = 4096
read(3, ",    0.1,\n non_hydrostatic      "..., 4096) = 1363
read(3, "", 4096)                       = 0
write(2, " ", 1 )                        = 1
write(2, "-------------- FATAL CALLED ----"..., 43-------------- FATAL 
CALLED ---------------) = 43
write(2, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
write(1, " FATAL CALLED FROM FILE:  module"..., 60 FATAL CALLED FROM 
FILE:  module_configure.b  LINE:     136
) = 60
write(2, " ", 1 )                        = 1
write(2, "module_configure: initial_config"..., 56module_configure: 
initial_config: error reading namelist) = 56
write(2, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
write(2, " ", 1 )                        = 1
write(2, "--------------------------------"..., 
43-------------------------------------------) = 43
write(2, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
write(2, "FORTRAN STOP\n", 13FORTRAN STOP
)          = 13
close(3)                                = 0

(Are there better ways of getting useful error messages?)

Is there a workaround for this problem to make the benchmark run? If 
not, are there any "official" benchmarks for WRF v2.2?

Best regards,
