[Ncep.list.nems.announce] impending NEMS commit

[Samuel Trahan - NOAA Affiliate]

Hi all,

The previously mentioned NEMS commit will go in as scheduled, though it may
be closer to 10:30 Eastern if the DC Metro is in a bad mood.  There are two
further changes to NEMSfv3gfs after the last batch of FV3 commits:

1. On sJet and vJet, the C768 no longer fits in 16 cores per node.  I  have
reduced it to 14 cores per node.

2. On WCOSS Phase 2, some of the tests now take slightly over a half hour
(sometimes).  I reverted the queue to dev2 and wallclock limit to 45
minutes.  If you feel like baby-sitting the workflow, you can switch back
to debug2 and 30 minutes, but you will have to keep running "rtrewind" on
the jobs that hit their wallclock limit.  Ultimately, you might finish the
test faster that way, but it will be quite tedious.

Also, please note that on GAEA and Jet, you must specify which partition or
set of partitions to use through the "--platform" option.  If you don't do
this, NEMSCompsetRun will tell you the available platforms, and how to
request one.  I'm using GAEA C3 on GAEA, and I test in s/vJet and xJet on
Jet.  Presently, t/uJet do not work with NEMSfv3gfs because that app needs
to be recompiled with new libraries.

Sincerely,
Sam Trahan
