[Wrf-users] Compiling WRF on IBM P5 Cluster

[Welsh, Patrick T]

Hello  WRFers,

I have been running WRF for a while, but we have a new machine.  A beautiful
Cluster of IBM P5 dual processor dual-core nodes.  We are running SUSE Linux
(SLES 9) which has been the supported Linux (by IBM) on this architecture.
It has several unique CPU features that may make a large difference in the
execution speed of the model. We only have the gcc and g77 compilers.

Has anyone out there compiled the WRF EM (ARW) core on this architecture,
and if so can you provide the configuration files you used as a start point?

Any similar configuration would probably help...we tried a combination of
Darwin/Itanium configs to start with, but so far have been unsuccessful.

Regards and thanks for your time,
