Code runs for a while before warning of format constraints #22

If incorrect variables sizes are specified in the input file, the code runs for a while before stopping and outputting the error. I think it's better (if possible) if the code exits immediately after starting so as not to waste CPU time, etc.

For which variables in the input file does this happen

dylanbmorgan commented 2 years ago

I was trying to change the grid size to profile with different grid sizes in serial

ShufflerBardOnTheEdge commented 2 years ago

What was the grid size you used

dylanbmorgan commented 2 years ago

It was the thing I messaged you about yesterday. I tried it with 500 first then 250 and both times it errored

ShufflerBardOnTheEdge commented 2 years ago

Oh I see, I can sort that out.

[x] Re-write netcdf to write a checkpoint file every timestep to circumvent memory issues

ShufflerBardOnTheEdge commented 2 years ago

The checkpointing system did not need to be changed, the code will now incrementally write to the output file and no longer stores more than 3 frames in memory.
