51.33 ESMF_LINETYPE

DESCRIPTION:
This argument allows the user to select the path of the line which connects two points on the surface of a sphere. This in turn controls the path along which distances are calculated and the shape of the edges that make up a cell.

The type of this flag is:

type(ESMF_LineType_Flag)

The valid values are:

ESMF_LINETYPE_CART
Cartesian line. When this option is specified distances are calculated in a straight line through the 3D Cartesian space in which the sphere is embedded. Cells are approximated by 3D planes bounded by 3D Cartesian lines between their corner vertices. When calculating regrid weights, this line type is currently the default for the following regrid methods: ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD_BILINEAR, ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD_PATCH, ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD_NEAREST_STOD, and ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD_NEAREST_DTOS.
ESMF_LINETYPE_GREAT_CIRCLE

51.38 ESMF_MESHLOC

DESCRIPTION:
Used to indicate a specific part of a Mesh. This is commonly used to specify the part of the Mesh to create a Field on.

The type of this flag is:

type(ESMF_MeshLoc)

The valid values are:

ESMF_MESHLOC_NODE
The nodes (also known as corners or vertices) of a Mesh.

ESMF_MESHLOC_ELEMENT
The elements (also known as cells) of a Mesh.


51.39 ESMF_MESHOP

ESMF_METHOD_READRESTART
ReadRestart method.
ESMF_METHOD_RUN
Run method.
ESMF_METHOD_WRITERESTART
WriteRestart method.

51.41 ESMF_NORMTYPE

DESCRIPTION:
When doing conservative regridding (e.g. ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD_CONSERVE), this option allows the user to select the type of normalization used when producing the weights.

type(ESMF_NormType_Flag)

The valid values are:

ESMF_NORMTYPE_DSTAREA
Destination area normalization. Here the weights are calculated by dividing the area of overlap of the source and destination cells by the area of the entire destination cell. In other words, the weight is the fraction of the entire destination cell which overlaps with the given source cell.
ESMF_NORMTYPE_FRACAREA
Fraction area normalization. Here in addition to the weight calculation done for destination area normalization (ESMF_NORMTYPE_DSTAREA) the weights are also divided by the fraction that the destination cell overlaps with the entire source grid. In other words, the weight is the fraction of just the part of the destination cell that overlaps with the entire source mesh.

51.42 ESMF_PIN

This flag is documented in section 48.2.1.

51.43 ESMF_POLEKIND

This flag is documented in section 31.2.5.


51.44 ESMF_POLEMETHOD

DESCRIPTION:
When interpolating between two Grids which have been mapped to a sphere these can be used to specify the type of artificial pole to create on the source Grid during interpolation. Creating the pole allows destination points above the top row or below the bottom row of the source Grid to still be mapped.

The type of this flag is:

type(ESMF_PoleMethod_Flag)

The valid values are:

ESMF_POLEMETHOD_NONE
No pole. Destination points which lie above the top or below the bottom row of the source Grid won't be mapped.
ESMF_POLEMETHOD_ALLAVG
Construct an artificial pole placed in the center of the top (or bottom) row of nodes, but projected onto the sphere formed by the rest of the grid. The value at this pole is the average of all the source values surrounding the pole.
ESMF_POLEMETHOD_NPNTAVG
Construct an artificial pole placed in the center of the top (or bottom) row of nodes, but projected onto the sphere formed by the rest of the grid. The value at this pole is the average of the N source nodes next to the pole and surrounding the destination point (i.e. the value may differ for each destination point). Here N is set by using the regridPoleNPnts parameter and ranges from 1 to the number of nodes around the pole. This option is useful for interpolating values which may be zeroed out by averaging around the entire pole (e.g. vector components).
ESMF_POLEMETHOD_TEETH
No new pole point is constructed, instead the holes at the poles are filled by constructing triangles across the top and bottom row of the source Grid. This can be useful because no averaging occurs, however, because the top and bottom of the sphere are now flat, for a big enough mismatch between the size of the destination and source pole holes, some destination points may still not be able to be mapped to the source Grid.


51.45 ESMF_REDUCE

DESCRIPTION:
Indicates reduce operation

The type of this flag is:

type(ESMF_Reduce_Flag)

The valid values are:

ESMF_REDUCE_SUM
Use arithmetic sum to add all data elements.
ESMF_REDUCE_MIN
Determine the minimum of all data elements.
ESMF_REDUCE_MAX
Determine the maximum of all data elements.


51.46 ESMF_REGION

DESCRIPTION:
Specifies various regions in the data layout of an Array or Field object.

The type of this flag is:

type(ESMF_Region_Flag)

The valid values are:

ESMF_REGION_TOTAL
Total allocated memory.
ESMF_REGION_SELECT
Region of operation-specific elements.
ESMF_REGION_EMPTY
The empty region contains no elements.


51.47 ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD

DESCRIPTION:
Specify which interpolation method to use during regridding. For a more detailed discussion of these methods, as well as ESMF regridding in general, see Section 24.2.

The type of this flag is:

type(ESMF_RegridMethod_Flag)

The valid values are:

ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD_BILINEAR
Bilinear interpolation. Destination value is a linear combination of the source values in the cell which contains the destination point. The weights for the linear combination are based on the distance of destination point from each source value.
ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD_PATCH
Higher-order patch recovery interpolation. Destination value is a weighted average of 2D polynomial patches constructed from cells surrounding the source cell which contains the destination point. This method typically results in better approximations to values and derivatives than bilinear. However, because of its larger stencil, it also results in a much larger interpolation matrix (and thus routeHandle) than the bilinear.
ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD_NEAREST_STOD
In this version of nearest neighbor interpolation each destination point is mapped to the closest source point. A given source point may go to multiple destination points, but no destination point will receive input from more than one source point.
ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD_NEAREST_DTOS
In this version of nearest neighbor interpolation each source point is mapped to the closest destination point. A given destination point may receive input from multiple source points, but no source point will go to more than one destination point.
ESMF_REGRIDMETHOD_CONSERVE
First order conservative interpolation. Value of a destination cell is the weighted sum of the values of the source cells that it overlaps. The weights are determined by the amount the source cell overlaps the destination cell. Will typically give less accurate approximations to values than the other interpolation methods, however, will do a much better job preserving the integral of the value between the source and destination. Needs corner coordinate values to be provided in the Grid. Currently only works for Fields created on the Grid center stagger (or the Mesh element location).


51.48 ESMF_ROUTESYNC

DESCRIPTION:
Switch between blocking and non-blocking execution of RouteHandle based communication calls. Every RouteHandle based communication method contains an optional argument routesyncflag that is of type ESMF_RouteSync_Flag.

The type of this flag is:

type(ESMF_RouteSync_Flag)

The valid values are:

ESMF_ROUTESYNC_BLOCKING
Execute a precomputed communication pattern in blocking mode. This mode guarantees that when the method returns all PET-local data transfers, both in-bound and out-bound, have finished.
ESMF_ROUTESYNC_NBSTART
Start executing a precomputed communication pattern in non-blocking mode. When a method returns from being called in this mode, it guarantees that all PET-local out-bound data has been transferred. It is now safe for the user to overwrite out-bound data elements. No guarantees are made for in-bound data elements at this stage. It is unsafe to access these elements until a call in ESMF_ROUTESYNC_NBTESTFINISH mode has been issued and has returned with finishedflag equal to .true., or a call in ESMF_ROUTESYNC_NBWAITFINISH mode has been issued and has returned.
ESMF_ROUTESYNC_NBTESTFINISH
Test whether the transfer of data of a precomputed communication pattern, started with ESMF_ROUTESYNC_NBSTART, has completed. Finish up as much as possible and set the finishedflag to .true. if all data operations have completed, or .false. if there are still outstanding transfers. Only after a finishedflag equal to .true. has been returned is it safe to access any of the in-bound data elements.
ESMF_ROUTESYNC_NBWAITFINISH
Wait (i.e. block) until the transfer of data of a precomputed communication pattern, started with ESMF_ROUTESYNC_NBSTART, has completed. Finish up all data operations and set the returned finishedflag to .true.. It is safe to access any of the in-bound data elements once the call has returned.
ESMF_ROUTESYNC_CANCEL
Cancel outstanding transfers for a precomputed communication pattern.

51.52 ESMF_STATEINTENT

This flag is documented in section 21.2.1.

51.53 ESMF_STATEITEM

This flag is documented in section 21.2.2.


51.54 ESMF_SYNC

DESCRIPTION:
Indicates method blocking behavior and PET synchronization for VM communication methods, as well as for standard Component methods, such as Initialize(), Run() and Finalize().

For VM communication calls the ESMF_SYNC_BLOCKING and ESMF_SYNC_NONBLOCKING modes provide behavior that is practically identical to the blocking and non-blocking communication calls familiar from MPI.

The details of how the blocking mode setting affects Component methods are more complex. This is a consequence of the fact that ESMF Components can be executed in threaded or non-threaded mode. However, in the default, non-threaded case, where an ESMF application runs as a pure MPI or mpiuni program, most of the complexity is removed.

See the VM item in 6.5 for an explanation of the PET and VAS concepts used in the following descriptions.

The type of this flag is:

type(ESMF_Sync_Flag)

The valid values are:

ESMF_SYNC_BLOCKING
Communication calls: The called method will block until all (PET-)local operations are complete. After the return of a blocking communication method it is safe to modify or use all participating local data.

Component calls: The called method will block until all PETs of the VM have completed the operation.

For a non-threaded, pure MPI component the behavior is identical to calling a barrier before returning from the method. Generally this kind of rigid synchronization is not the desirable mode of operation for an MPI application, but may be useful for application debugging. In the opposite case, where all PETs of the component are running as threads in shared memory, i.e. in a single VAS, strict synchronization of all PETs is required to prevent race conditions.

ESMF_SYNC_VASBLOCKING
Communication calls: Not available for communication calls.

Component calls: The called method will block each PET until all operations in the PET-local VAS have completed.

This mode is a combination of ESMF_SYNC_BLOCKING and ESMF_SYNC_NONBLOCKING modes. It provides a default setting that leads to the typically desirable behavior for pure MPI components as well as those that share address spaces between PETs.

For a non-threaded, pure MPI component each PET returns independent of the other PETs. This is generally the expected behavior in the pure MPI case where calling into a component method is practically identical to a subroutine call without extra synchronization between the processes.

In the case where some PETs of the component are running as threads in shared memory ESMF_SYNC_VASBLOCKING becomes identical to ESMF_SYNC_BLOCKING within thread groups, to prevent race conditions, while there is no synchronization between the thread groups.

ESMF_SYNC_NONBLOCKING
Communication calls: The called method will not block but returns immediately after initiating the requested operation. It is unsafe to modify or use participating local data before all local operations have completed. Use the ESMF_VMCommWait() or ESMF_VMCommQueueWait() method to block the local PET until local data access is safe again.

Component calls: The behavior of this mode is fundamentally different for threaded and non-threaded components, independent on whether the components use shared memory or not. The ESMF_SYNC_NONBLOCKING mode is the most complex mode for calling component methods and should only be used if the extra control, described below, is absolutely necessary.

For non-threaded components (the ESMF default) calling a component method with ESMF_SYNC_NONBLOCKING is identical to calling it with ESMF_SYNC_VASBLOCKING. However, different than for ESMF_SYNC_VASBLOCKING, a call to ESMF_GridCompWait() or ESMF_CplCompWait() is required in order to deallocate memory internally allocated for the ESMF_SYNC_NONBLOCKING mode.

For threaded components the calling PETs of the parent component will not be blocked and return immediately after initiating the requested child component method. In this scenario parent and child components will run concurrently in identical VASs. This is the most complex mode of operation. It is unsafe to modify or use VAS local data that may be accessed by concurrently running components until the child component method has completed. Use the appropriate ESMF_GridCompWait() or ESMF_CplCompWait() method to block the local parent PET until the child component method has completed in the local VAS.


51.55 ESMF_TERMORDER

DESCRIPTION:
Specifies the order of source terms in a destination sum, e.g. during sparse matrix multiplication.

The type of this flag is:

type(ESMF_TermOrder_Flag)

The valid values are:

ESMF_TERMORDER_SRCSEQ
The source terms are in strict ascending order according to their source sequence index.
ESMF_TERMORDER_SRCPET
The source terms are first ordered according to their distribution across the source side PETs: for each destination PET the source PET order starts with the localPet and decrements from there, modulo petCount, until all petCount PETs are accounted for. The term order within each source PET is given by the source term sequence index.
ESMF_TERMORDER_FREE
There is no prescribed term order. The source terms may be summed in any order that optimizes performance.


51.56 ESMF_TYPEKIND
