Yes the bulk of the development of WRF is being done under linux, however, the compilers for linux and the stability of linux leave much to be desired. Our site has used Sun's and SunOS/Solaris beginning with Sun-3/50's running SunOS-3.5 and we prefer the stability and performance of Solaris and SunStudio. I have been able to get WRF-3.1 to compile and run using SunStudio-12.1 and Solaris 10 and mpich-1.2.7p1, however when I try to use HPC-8.2.1 WRF compiles but immediately fails with an mpi error
MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 1 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD with errorcode 1. NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes. You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on exactly when Open MPI kills them. The rsl files say FATAL CALLED FROM FILE: set_timekeeping.F LINE: 274 WRFU_TimeSet(startTime) FAILED Routine returned error code = -1 This routine merely starts the internal timekeeping of the model and works when I use mpich-1.2.7 Any clues as to what's going on? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
