[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #78312] History for Help on GSL

Fri Oct 28 11:10:00 MDT 2016

----------------------------------------------------------------
  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi folks.

We are about to start a standardization of our models evaluation process 
and MET is been high considered. The package will be installed on our 
Cray SX-6 supercomputer, which is where the model output is stored.

My question is about GSL, can another scientific library be used in 
order to build MET? We currently have "xt-libsci/10.5.02".

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

JR Garcia

Thank you for considering MET for the standardization of your model
evaluation process.  Currently, the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is
required by MET and is used when computing confidence intervals.  MET
requires access to the GSL source headers and library archive file at
build
time.

Would linking to GSL would be problematic and if so, could you please
tell
us why?

Julie

Tks for the answer Julie.

I'm not sure if I understood the term "linking" but the case is that
we
do not currently have GSL installed in our system and this would
demand
some support from the experts since it needs to be installed as root,
besides the justification for that requirement.

But its an internal issue only that I'm sure it will be solved. I just
thought about an alternative for avoiding this.

By the way, I read somewhere that you offer a MET School twice a year,
do you have an idea of when the next school will happen?

Thanks again.

Regards

JR Garcia

It has been a little while since we have had an onsite MET tutorial.
Our
next in person MET Tutorial will be held offsite in March 2017 at
NCEP,
with a specific focus for them.  I do not know yet if other
participants
will be included.  However, we can certainly keep you informed about
the
tutorial as the dates and content becomes more certain.

I also wanted to point you to our MET online tutorial (link below).
These
exercises are very similar to the in-person tutorial.

http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/support/online_tutorial/METv5.2/index.php

Also, please feel free to write with any questions or problems you
encounter.

Thanks,
Julie
