CCSM Ocean Model Development:

Practical Issues

Two separate ocean CSL accounts: "development" and "production"
Total allocation: 290 GAUs/day
- gx1v3,T42, fully coupled CCSM (all active components) costs ~65 GAUS/day ("regular" cost factor). CSL allocation would allow ~4.5 model years/day
- gx3, "ocean only" coupled with CCSM data models costs ~1.7 GAUS/model year ("regular"). CSL allocation would allow ~170 model years per day.
"economy" jobs cost one-half as much as "regular" jobs, but when demand is high, economy-job turn-around is poor

There are two methods for accessing CCSM Ocean Model Code:

Official CCSM2.0.1 Release from CCSM website

CCSM CVS Repository

Everyone needs permission to access the CCSM CVS Repository
With permission, users can check out component models and check in changes onto development branches in the repository
CVS does not allow much privacy; all users have wide-ranging access to repository. Must rely on user's honorable behavior to avoid inappropriate check-ins (on the main branch, e.g.) or access to other developers' private branches.
CCSM Ocean Model CVS Repository is not presently officially accessible by users outside CGD... which leads us to
