OpenQG is an idealised ocean-atmosphere model suitable for simulations of mid-latitude physical processes. OpenQG is suitable for use by both researchers and students. It can be run on a standard desktop machine in either single- or multi-threaded mode. Parallelisation is provided by OpenMP.
To get up and running, try the following commands:
make -C src
python run_model.py -x src/openqg -o output -e dg_fast
Congratuations, you just ran a North Atlantic double gyre experiment for 10 days using an OpenMP enabled version of OpenQG.
The output can be found in output/.

OpenQG links against LAPACK, NetCDF and FFTW3 and uses gfortran as the compiler.
