5.2.2 Building the AD code using TAF

The build process of an AD code is very similar to building the forward model. However, depending on which AD code one wishes to generate, and on which AD tool is available (TAF or TAMC), the following make targets are available:


  AD-target output description
(1) <MODE><TOOL>only <MODE>_<TOOL>_output.f generates code for $ <$ MODE$ >$ using $ <$ TOOL$ >$
      no make dependencies on .F .h
      useful for compiling on remote platforms
(2) <MODE><TOOL> <MODE>_<TOOL>_output.f generates code for $ <$ MODE$ >$ using $ <$ TOOL$ >$
      includes make dependencies on .F .h
      i.e. input for $ <$ TOOL$ >$ may be re-generated
(3) <MODE>all mitgcmuv_<MODE> generates code for $ <$ MODE$ >$ using $ <$ TOOL$ >$
      and compiles all code
      (use of TAF is set as default)

Here, the following placeholders are used
  • $ <$ TOOL$ >$
    • TAF
    • TAMC
  • $ <$ MODE$ >$
    • ad generates the adjoint model (ADM)
    • ftl generates the tangent linear model (TLM)
    • svd generates both ADM and TLM for
      singular value decomposition (SVD) type calculations

For example, to generate the adjoint model using TAF after routines (.F) or headers (.h) have been modified, but without compilation, type make adtaf; or, to generate the tangent linear model using TAMC without re-generating the input code, type make ftltamconly.

A typical full build process to generate the ADM via TAF would look like follows: 

% mkdir build
% cd build
% ../../../tools/genmake2 -mods=../code_ad
% make depend
% make adall
