Release for UPP V11.0.0

This release represents a major effort to refactor the UPP code to implement a 2-Dimensional decomposition capability. This development was led by UPP developers at NOAA’s Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) with funding through the Hurricane Supplemental funding line. Please see the Users Guide in links below for details on how to use this capability.

Release Notes

  • Capability added to decompose grids in both x- and y-directions.
  • 1D (y-direction only) decomposition is still available.
  • Identical results are expected for 1D vs 2D.
  • Testing indicated no deterioration in run time and in many cases reduction in run time for existing configurations/applications.
  • Further timing improvement expected especially for larger domains.
  • Support for this feature has been implemented in offline standalone UPP and inline UPP.
  • 2D decomposition is only supported for UFS based model outputs.

Quick Build Instructions for UPP executable.

Pre-requisite libraries

UPP requires a number of NCEP Libraries and third party libraries to build. These must be built via HPC-stack. If building UPP on a platform not supported through the compile_upp.sh script, the user must first install hpc-stack and add the proper module files to the UPP directory tree.

Supported platforms

These platforms have HPC-stack pre-installed for use with UPP.

Platform Compiler
Hera Intel
Cheyenne Intel
wcoss2 Intel
wcoss_dell_p3 Intel

Obtain the UPP code

Option 1) Download from this release page
Option 2) git clone -b upp_v11.0.0 https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/UPP

Quick Build

If running on a supported platform with HPC-stack pre-installed, simply run the build script.

cd UPP/tests
./compile_upp.sh

A successful build will create an executable called upp.x in the UPP/tests/install/bin/ directory.

Obtain and unpack CRTM fix coefficient files

cd UPP
mkdir crtm && cd crtm
wget https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/UPP/releases/download/upp_v10.1.0/fix.tar.gz
tar -xzf fix.tar.gz
