2. Development of Fortran codes

2.1 Subroutine syntax

subroutine name ( <in/out arguments list> [,code_parameters] [,diagnostic_info] )

  • name - subroutine name
  • in/out arguments list 

...

  • - a list of input and output subroutine arguments
  • diagnostic_info - arbitrary output diagnostic information

2.2. Arguments list

  • A mandatory position
  • A list of input and output subroutine arguments including:
    • Fortran intrisic data types, eg:
      • integer :: input
      • character(50) :: charstring
      • integer,dimension(4) :: tabint
    • IDSes, eg:
      • type (type_equilibrium),pointer :: equilibriumin(:)
      • type (type_distsource),pointer :: distsourceout(:)
Warning
  • Always describe IDS as an array. In case of time slice, the size of the input IDS is 1 (!)
  • Do not forget to add: use imas_schemas, while playing with IDSes
  • Please use intent(in), intent(out) to point in/out parameters

2.3. Code parameters

  • user defined input parameters
  • input / optional
  • Argument of type: type_param

    Code Block
    type type_param  !
      character(len=132), dimension(:), pointer ::parameters 
      character(len=132), dimension(:), pointer ::default_param  
      character(len=132), dimension(:), pointer ::schema         
    endtype
  • Derived type type_param describes:
    • parameters - Actual value of the code parameters (instance of coparam/parameters in XML format).
    • default_param - Default value of the code parameters (instance of coparam/parameters in XML format).
    • schema - Code parameters schema.
  • An example: 
    • (type_param) :: codeparam{{

2.4. Diagnostic info

  • arbitrary output diagnostic information
    • output / optional

      Code Block
           !----  Diagnostic info  ----
           integer, intent(out)     ::     user_out_outputFlag
           character(len=:), pointer, intent(out)    ::    user_out_diagnosticInfo
    • outputFlag - indicates if user subroutine was successfully executed

      • outpuflag = 0    - SUCCESS, no action is taken

      • outputFlag > 0  - WARNING, a warning message is displayed, workflow continuue execution

      • outputFlag < 0 - ERROR, actor throws an exception, workflow stops

    • diagnosticInfo - an arbitrary string

2.5. Examples

Code Block
titleExample 1 Simple in/out argument types
subroutine noids(input, output)
   integer, intent(in):: input
   integer, intent(out):: output

 

 

Code Block
titleExample 2 A IDS array as a subroutine argument
subroutine equil2dist(equilibriumin, distsourceout)
  use imas_schemas
  implicit none

 !input
 type (type_equilibrium), pointer :: equilibriumin(:)
 !output
 type (type_distsource), pointer :: distsourceout(:)

 

 

Code Block
titleExample 3 Usage of code input parameters
subroutine teststring(coreprof,equi,tabint,tabchar,codeparam)
   use imas_schemas                                                                              
   implicit none                                             

  !input
  type(type_coreprof),pointer,dimension(:) :: coreprof
  integer, dimension(4), intent(in) :: tabint

  !output
  type(type_equilibrium),pointer,dimension(:) :: equi
  character(50), intent(out) :: tabchar

  !code parameters
  type(type_param), intent(in) :: codeparam


 

1. What code wrapper actually does?

The code wrapper intermediates between Kepler actor and user code:

  • Passes variables of language built-in types (int, char, etc) from actor to the code
  • Reads IDS(es) from UAL and passes data to user code
  • Passes input code parameters (XML/XSD files) to user code
  • Calls user subroutine/function
  • Saves output IDS(es)


     

    4. Delivery of the user code

    The user code should be delivered as a static library.
    Please find examples of the simple "makefiles" below:


     
    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleExample 6. Building of Fortran code
    F90 = $(ITM_INTEL_FC)
    COPTS = -g -O0 -assume no2underscore -fPIC -shared-intel
    
    INCLUDES = $(shell eval-pkg-config --cflags ual-$(ITM_INTEL_OBJECTCODE))
    
    all: equilibrium2distsource.o libequilibrium2distsource
    
    libequilibrium2distsource: equilibrium2distsource.o
            ar -rvs libequilibrium2distsource.a equilibrium2distsource.o
    
    equilibrium2distsource.o: equilibrium2distsource.f90
            $(F90) $(COPTS) -c -o $@ $^ ${INCLUDES} 
    
    clean:
            rm -f *.o *.a
    Code Block
    titleExample 7. Building of C++ code
    CXX=g++
    CXXFLAGS= -g -fPIC
    CXXINCLUDES= ${shell eval-pkg-config --cflags ual-cpp-gnu}
    
    all: libsimplecppactor.a
    
    libsimplecppactor.a: simplecppactor.o
            ar -rvs $@ $^
    
    simplecppactor.o: simplecppactor.cpp
            $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(CXXINCLUDES) -c -o $@ $^
    
    clean:
            rm *.a *.o

     

     

    Tip

    Recomendations

    • Please use eval-pkg-config to get UAL flags and not hard coded references.
    • The usage of environment variables for identifying compilers and versions of the pkg-config is recommended.
