The examples in SPICE are built in a way that everything will be stored under the directory tree starting with $SPDIR and therefore will be on the same file system. This is often not convenient, it might be better to put scripts and I/O to different more appropriate file systems. This could be done by setting the main directory settings (see table) in the job_settings script accordingly.
Before you run your own experiment it is recommended to run the test cases sp001 and sp002 as described in the Install section.
...
Make a copy of the template sp001 as starting point for your experiment (this is named mytemplate1 in the following, but you can choose a name by yourself).
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
cp -R ${SPDIR}/chain/gcm2icon/sp001 yourpath/mytemplate1 |
Change into the yourpath/mytemplate1 directory and perform your modifications in the job_settings file and the other scripts. Then perform a clean to get rid of any unnecessary files that may have transferred during the copying of sp001.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
cd yourpath/mytemplate1 ./subchain clean |
...
If the simulation is successful you can find the output data under the directories $ARCHIVE_OUTDIR and as post-processed time series under $WORKDIR/mytemplate1/post.
Nested simulation (icon2icon)
Make a copy of the template sp002 as starting point for your experiment (this is named mytemplate2 in the following, but you can use a name by yourself).
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
cp -R ${SPDIR}/chain/icon2icon/sp002 yourpath/mytemplate2 |
Change into the yourpath/mytemplate2 directory and perform your modifications in the job_settings file and the other scripts. Then perform a clean to get rid of any unnecessary files that may have transferred during the copying of sp002.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
cd yourpath/mytemplate2 ./subchain clean |
...
If the simulation is successful you can find the output data under the directories $ARCHIVE_OUTDIR and as post-processed time series under $WORKDIR/mytemplate2/post.
Creating any further experiments
After you have created an experiment as in the examples above (mytemplate1 or mytemplate2) you can use this experiment as a template (or as your new sp001 or sp002 so to speak) for your further experiments. This will save you some time since you have not to do a lot of basic changes again.
