In July 2024, we organized the second two-day technical training in Hamburg at DKRZ.
Presentations and results
Our recent technical training session focused on enhancing our understanding of coupling smaller components to core components, interfacing to directly enter and modify code execution, and engaging in interactive hands-on sessions with ComIn and YAC.
Day One: Coupling and interfacing ESM components via ComIn
Participants explored various techniques and best practices to ensure seamless integration and maintain system coherence. They were introduced to tools and methods for working with ComIn and engaged in hands-on sessions to deepen their understanding of the theoretical concepts.
Presentations included:
- Generic concepts of ICON-ComIn by Florian Prill (DWD)
- natESM sprint: Coupling MESSy to ICON via ComIn by Kerstin Hartung and Bastian Kern (DLR)
- Hands-on: Using ComIn-Plugins to interact with ICON - Exercises by Florian Prill and Mahnoosh Haghighatnasab (DWD)
The day concluded with a dinner in a beer garden, offering a relaxed setting for networking and further discussions.
Day Two: Coupling ESM components via YAC
The second day focused on coupling ESM components via YAC. Sessions fostered discussions and idea exchanges, with support from the natESM team during practical hands-on sessions. Participants could test topics directly by applying them to their own models or workflows.
Presentations included:
- YAC for ICON Part1 and Part2 by Moritz Hanke (DKRZ)
- A Pythonic way to use YAC by Nils-Arne Dreier (DKRZ)
- Coupling dependency on spatial resolution by Dian Putrasahan (MPI-M)
- Hands-on: How to use YAC - 1st example - Exercises on Gitlab
- Hands-on: How to use YAC (in Python) - Exercises on Gitlab
The insights gained into component coupling and code interfacing will enhance future progress. This technical training was not only educational but also enjoyable, combining learning with social interactions and excellent food.
