[Wrf-users] wrf 3.1 runtime problem, smpar build on OS X [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[David Mansbach]

This seems to have fixed my problems for shared-memory parallel WRF 3.1
(smpar) on Linux.

I'm using RedHat with 8 quad-core Intel Xeon 5335 processors and Intel
compilers v. 10.x

I had been getting seg faults at runtime. I got the fixed files from:

http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/WG2/ifort_mac/README.txt

as per

http://mailman.ucar.edu/pipermail/wrf-users/2009/001257.html

I cleaned, reconfigured and recompiled with the new files. Because I
compiled with the linux smpar option, I don't think my configure.wrf file
was any different - certainly no changes to ldflags_local, (that would only
have changed on Mac OS). I had to do

    setenv KMP_STACKSIZE 100M


 and after that things ran with no problems, in parallel.

Thank you!

NB: the speedup for my general test scenario was about 4x now that my system
is using 8 processors instead of just one (32 cores vs 4).
