Please see the Prerequisites page for details of what other software is required to be able to run OpenIFS.

OpenIFS is predominantly fortran code with a small amount of C and requires some flavour of Unix (such as Linux). It is known to run on a number of systems, some of which are directly supported by ECMWF.

The following table details what combinations have been tested and the support level:

Support level 

Green

Good level of support - will be tested for each new release
AmberMedium level of support - may not be tested for each release.
Red

Not directly supported due to lack of facilities at ECMWF;
known to work on external systems

Notes:

  1. gfortran version must be at least 4.5. OpenIFS is known not to work on gfortran versions less than this due to a bug in the gfortran compiler.
  2. 32bit is not supported or tested.
