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 Highlights:
-
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.
