Supported Machines

We currently only provide external support for running E3SM on perlmutter at NERSC.

The E3SM project can not provide computer time for users to run the model.  However any researcher with support from DOE can get time on NERSC. See NERSC allocations for more information and, if you are a new user, see information for easily getting a first allocation.

While we support only perlmutter for external users, E3SM can run on all DOE machines at NERSC, ALCF and OLCF as well as others.

If you have trouble running E3SM on perlmutter, please use the github discussions for help.

If you would like to try porting E3SM to your platform, start with porting CIME.

E3SM project members can use three machines dedicated solely or partially to E3SM

• Anvil at ANL
• Chysalis – ANL
• Compy at PNNL

The E3SM project develops several tools (Tools) that can be used for  visualization, analysis, diagnostics, data management, end-to-end and other processing. They are supported either directly on compute platforms or on designated analysis platforms.
