Comparison with high performance option enabled: (new in this version) |
We now include a plots subdirectory called gchp_comparison containing 1-month standard simulation output comparisons using the standard "classic" capabilities (GCC) and the high performance option (GCHP). GCHP features the same science as GCC but operates on a cubed-sphere grid and is parallelized using a message-passing interface (MPI) implementation. GCHP improves upon GCC by (1) enabling more accurate transport through elimination of the polar singularity inherent to lat-lon grids, and (2) providing efficient scaling across multiple machines making finer resolution global simulations possible. There is a separate benchmark approval form for the comparison of GCHP and GCC. See the Assessment form for the 1-month benchmark of v11-02b with high performance option. | ||||||||||||||

Additional or summary comments: | Removal of biomass burning updates
After the 1-month benchmark for v11-02a, the GCSC decided we should remove the code updates for vertically distributed biomass burning emissions (see this wiki post for more details). In addition, after the 1-year benchmark v11-02a-Run0, the GCSC asked that we comment out the partitioning of NOx biomass burning emissions directly to PAN and HNO3 (see this wiki post for more details). An unofficial 1-month benchmark was run for v11-02a to evaluate the model changes with these two biomass burning updates removed. The plots for that run may be viewed at: Results from our v11-02a benchmark using the GNU Fortran Compiler In order to evaluate the performance of GEOS-Chem using the the free and open source GNU Fortran compiler, we performed an additional 1-month benchmark for v11-02a. For this additional benchamark, we used GNU Fortran v6.2.0 to compile GEOS-Chem instead of our usual Intel Fortran Compiler version 11.1.069. For more details, see this post on our GNU Fortran compiler wiki page. Summary: The benchmark using GNU Fortran yielded essentially identical results to the benchmark using Intel Fortran. This is very encouraging, as it will allow GEOS-Chem development to take place on computational platforms that do not have proprietary compilers (such as Intel Fortran or PGI Fortran), which can be prohibitively expensive to purchase. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1-year Rn-Pb-Be benchmarks
v11-02b-RnPbBe
Two 1-year Rn-Pb-Be simulations were performed using GEOS-Chem v11-02b. The simulations utilized 4° x 5° GEOS-FP met fields for the year 2013, with a 4-year spinup. For comparison of the Pb-210 and Be-7 budgets to previous versions, please see the following posts on the Rn-Pb-Be simulation wiki page:
Please note that we include a passive species to test for mass conservation in GEOS-Chem transport. The passive tracer continues to show that mass is not conserved when the non-local PBL mixing scheme (VDIFF) is turned on. We first discovered this issue in v11-01 and continue to complete the 1-year Rn-Pb-Be simulations with and without non-local PBL mixing to track this issue.

High Performance Option benchmarks
v11-02b HP 1-month
This section includes the assessment form for the 1-month benchmark simulation GEOS-Chem v11-02b with high performance v1.1.0. GCHP features the same science as GCC but operates on a cubed-sphere grid and is parallelized using a message-passing interface (MPI) implementation. GCHP improves upon GCC by (1) enabling more accurate transport through elimination of the polar singularity inherent to lat-lon grids, and (2) providing efficient scaling across multiple machines making finer resolution global simulations possible.
See also the assessment form for the 1-month v11-02b benchmark simulation using the standard "classic" capability.
Description | |
---|---|
New features added: |
As this is the first formal GCHP benchmark, new features include the high performance model capability in its entirety. This includes all recent feature updates included in v1.1.0 as well as updates in v1.0.0 that were introduced over many years and are too numerous to list. |
GEOS-Chem version, GCHP version tag: | v11-02, hp_v1.1.0 |
Meteorology fields: | GEOS-FP (72L), 2x2.5, July 2013 NOTE: Input 2x2.5 met-fields are regridded to cubed-sphere grid resolution c24 (approximately equivalent to 4x5) within GCHP. In contrast, the GCC simulations in this comparison use input 4x5 met-fields. |
Cubed-sphere resolution: | c24 |
1-month benchmark finished on: | Thurs June 12 22:01:08 EDT 2017 |

Compared to benchmark: | GEOS-Chem v11-02b with "classic" capability |
Additional comments: |
We compared GEOS-Chem with and without the high performance option (GCHP and GCC respectively) for two different scenarios:
The out-of-the-box comparison uses as-is code and run directory settings for both GCHP and GCC. Each simulation uses restart files regridded from higher resolution 2x2.5. GCHP uses input 2x2.5 met-fields which are regridded to cubed-sphere grid resolution c24 (approximately equivalent to 4x5) within the model. In contrast, the GCC simulations in this comparison use input 4x5 met-fields. GCC is compiled with netcdf diagnostics turned on and binary diagnostics turned off. GCHP output data are regridded from c24 (cubed-sphere grid) to 1x1.25 and GCC output data are regridded from 4x5 to 1x1.25 for comparison plotting. The custom comparison includes additional modifications to the GCC code base and run directory to remove certain remaining known differences between GCHP and GCC. These include the following changes to GCC:
NOTE: Non-concentration diagnostics are not yet implemented in GCHP. The v11-02b HP benchmark therefore includes only comparisons of species concentrations. A complete set of diagnostics will be available pending implementation of netCDF diagnostics in GEOS-Chem (in progress). |

Comments on 500 hPa differences: | See comments on surface differences above. |
In the ZONAL MEAN differences, list all species that changed by 10% or more: | All species changed by 10% or more. |
Comments on ZONAL MEAN differences: |
|
Additional or summary comments: |
Overall, the largest fractional differences between GCC and GCHP occur where concentrations are very low. Differences between GCHP and GCC are primarily due to the effects of the following:
The concentration differences we see are inevitable given the fundamental differences between GEOS-Chem with and without high performance capability. |
