[Bug]: Issues with `tc_analysis` in zppy

[chengzhuzhang]

What happened?

I ran into a few issues with setting up tc_analysis with a fully configured zppy run.

1. Status file shows "RUNNING" after slurm error: slurmstepd: error: *** JOB 588238 ON chr-0471 CANCELLED AT 2024-09-20T16:27:45 DUE TO TIME LIMIT ***
2. All three e3sm_diags runs (model vs obs, model vs model, model vs model [land=only]) are waiting for tc_analysis even though only the model vs obs task depends on tc_analysis.

What machine were you running on?

Chrysalis

Environment

e3sm_unified_1.10

What command did you run?

zppy -c

Yes I ran into this issue too on main. Looking into it.

[forsyth2]

tl;dr dependencies need to be defined per-task in the .py files. I'll make a PR.

Note, your first point Status file shows "RUNNING" after slurm error is unfortuntely something I've never figured out a way around. That is, when SLURM hits a time limit, there is now no longer any time left on the job to update the status file to "ERROR." It said "RUNNING" when the time limit hit and at that point, no more changes can be made.

For your second point, on all three e3sm_diags runs waiting:

e3sm_diags_atm_monthly_180x360_aave_model_vs_obs_1985-2014 has:

  sets="lat_lon","zonal_mean_xy","zonal_mean_2d","polar","cosp_histogram","meridional_mean_2d","annual_cycle_zonal_mean","qbo","diurnal_cycle","zonal_mean_2d_stratosphere","aerosol_aeronet","tropical_subseasonal","tc_analysis",

This includes "tc_analysis", naturally it will not run.

e3sm_diags_atm_monthly_180x360_aave_mvm_v3alpha04i-COARE_vs_CTL_1985-2014_vs_0001-0050 has:

  sets="lat_lon","zonal_mean_xy","zonal_mean_2d","polar","cosp_histogram","meridional_mean_2d","annual_cycle_zonal_mean","qbo","diurnal_cycle","zonal_mean_2d_stratosphere","aerosol_budget"

e3sm_diags_lnd_monthly_mvm_lnd_model_vs_model_1985-2014_vs_0051-0100 has:

sets = "lat_lon_land",

I added print(f"dependencies={dependencies}") in e3sm_diags.py. That gives me the following dependency lists:

It looks like dependencies get added as we go through the cfg, but we never start from fresh.

In e3sm_diags.py, we have:

    dependencies: List[str] = []

    for c in tasks:

Really, we should be resetting dependencies for each task...

I will make a PR for that.

[forsyth2]

Resolved by #631.

[chengzhuzhang]

@forsyth2 I'm just wondering have you tested if the zppy configuration works (#622 (comment)) with 3 e3sm_diags tasks running in parallel after recent two PRs?

[forsyth2]

I haven't tested 3 tasks in parallel explicitly. However, I did just run multiple tests in parallel for #632:

zppy -c tests/integration/generated/test_min_case_e3sm_diags_tc_analysis_v2_chrysalis.cfg # Runs 1 `e3sm_diags` task.
zppy -c tests/integration/generated/test_min_case_e3sm_diags_tc_analysis_v2_parallel_chrysalis.cfg # Runs 2 `e3sm_diags` task in parallel

I did run into some problems on the v3 side though, as described in #632 (comment).

I can also increase the number of parallel tasks in min_case_e3sm_diags_tc_analysis_v2_parallel to 3 or more if that would be valuable.

Or are you asking if I've run issue_622.cfg (from the linked comment) post-#623? I can also do that.

[chengzhuzhang]

Or are you asking if I've run issue_622.cfg (from the linked comment) post-#623? I can also do that.

Yes, I mean that we should make sure the second issue in 622 is resolved as intended.

[forsyth2]

Ok, with the tc_analysis task failing due to time limit reached, only the e3sm_diags_atm_monthly_180x360_aave_model_vs_obs_1985-2014 gets blocked, as intended. So I would say that #622 is indeed resolved.

I did however notice an unrelated error on the land task:

[chengzhuzhang]

could it be a dependency issue? e3sm_diags_lnd_monthly_mvm_lnd task starts before climo files being generated?
