multio

multio is a package developed by ECMWF that provides an application programming interface (API) for

I/O-server functionality for distributed earth-system models,
post-processing pipelines of user-programmable list of actions.

The fundamental design principle behind multio is that data is decoupled from metadata, and that the metadata is used for routing the data through the post-processing pipelines.

Documentation

The documentation can be found at https://multio.readthedocs.io.

Requirements

Runtime dependencies:

eccodes -- http://github.com/ecmwf/eccodes
eckit -- http://github.com/ecmwf/eckit
metkit -- http://github.com/ecmwf/metkit

Optional runtime dependencies:

fdb -- http://github.com/ecmwf/fdb
fckit -- http://github.com/ecmwf/fckit (for the fortran example code only)

Build dependencies:

CMake -- For use and installation see http://www.cmake.org/
ecbuild -- ECMWF library of CMake macros (available via apt or see https://github.com/ecmwf/ecbuild)
MPI -- an implementation of MPI may be required for the I/O-server functionality, see https://www.mpi-forum.org/

Installation

multio employs an out-of-source build/install based on CMake.

Make sure ecbuild is installed and the ecbuild executable script is found ( which ecbuild ).

Now proceed with installation as follows.

Set up environment as appropriate

srcdir=$(pwd)
builddir=build
installdir=$HOME/local

Run Cmake/ecbuild
```
ecbuild --prefix=$installdir -- -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<path/to/dependencies/install> $srcdir
```
The package is in active development and the I/O-server functionality is not enabled by default, so it needs to be turned on explicitly. In addition, if built with FDB support, some compilers will require linking to be forced.
```
ecbuild --prefix=$installdir -- -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<path/to/dependencies/install> -DECBUILD_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-Wl,--no-as-needed $srcdir
```
Compile, test and install
```
make -j10
ctest
make install
```
