How to speed up simulation? #1514

Closed xuexb1230 closed 1 year ago

xuexb1230 commented 1 year ago

I want to use GEOS-Chem gcclassic at 0.5*0.625 resolution. Since I need to run it for a long time, I wonder if it supports multiple nodes?

Thanks for writing @xuexb1230. GEOS-Chem Classic can only be run on a single computational node due to the fact that it uses OpenMP parallelization (which is shared-memory parallelization).

However, we would invite you to look at using GCHP if you wish to run on multiple nodes. You could use a stretched-grid simulation to increase the resolution over an area of interest. See our GCHP manual at https://gchp.readthedocs.io.

Thanks! :)
