This page describes in detail how to set up and optimize a global model run of GEOS-5 Icarus 1.0 on NCCS discover and NAS pleiades and generally make the model do what you want.  It assumes that you have already run the model as described in [[Icarus 1.0 Quick Start]].

where ''TAGNAME'' is the model "tag" (version).  A tag in <code>cvs</code> marks the various versions of the source files in the repository that together make up a particular version of the model.  A sample release tag is <code>Icarus-1_0_p1</code>, indicating the latest patch of version Icarus 1.0 for general use. ''DIRECTORY'' is the directory that the source code tree will be created.  If you are using a stock model tag it is reasonable to name the directory the same as the tag.  This directory determines which model in presumably your space a particular experiment is using.  Some scripts use the environment variable <code>ESMADIR</code>, which should be set to the absolute (full) pathname of this directory.

When a modified version of some component of the model is saved to the repository, the tag it uses -- different from the standard model tag -- is supposed to be applied at most only to the directories with modified files.  This means that if you need to use some variant tag of a gridded component, you will have to <code>cd</code> to that directory and update to the variant tag.  So, for example, if you needed to apply updates to the SatSim gridded component, you would have to <code>cd</code> several levels down to the directory <code>GEOSsatsim_GridComp</code> and run

This determines which of your local builds is used to create the experiment.  It defaults to the build of the script you are running, which is generally a good idea.

A cleanly completed model run will leave a set of restarts and the corresponding <code>cap_restart</code> in its experiment directory.  Another source is <code>/discover/nobackup/mathomp4/Restarts-H10/nc4/</code> which are sample restarts for various resolutions and oceans on 2000-04-14 21z.  Restarts are also left during runs in date-labeled tarballs in the <code>restarts</code> directory under the experiment directory before being transferred to the user's <code>/archive</code> space.  You may have to create the <code>cap_restart</code>, which is simply one line of text with the date of the restart files in the format ''YYYYMMDD HHMMSS'' (with a space).

Failing the above sources, you can convert restarts from different resolutions and model versions, or from MERRA2, as described in [[Regridding Restarts for Icarus 1.0]].
