Regression Test Policy for Weather Model Platforms and Compilers - ufs-community/ufs-weather-model GitHub Wiki
The regression test policy for the UFS weather model follows the general principles outlined in the Regression Test Policy for UFS Platforms and Compilers and the specific principles outlined in the Regression Test Policy for Medium-Range Weather App Platforms and Compilers. The details for the UFS weather model are outlined below.

Tier-2 platforms
| Platform | Responsibility for tests | Test coverage | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linux platforms with GNU 9.1.0 compiler and MPICH 3.3.1 MPI library (cloud platforms?) | TBD | TBD | Implemented |
| Linux platforms with Intel 19 compiler and MVAPICH2 2.3.2 MPI library (cloud platforms?) | TBD | TBD | Implemented |
| macOS platforms with LLVM clang 9.x.y + GNU gfortran 9.m.n compiler and mpich 3.r.s MPI library | TBD | TBD | Implemented |

Tier-3 platforms
- Linux platforms with other combinations and/or other versions of the Intel or GNU compiler and MPI libraries than listed above.
- NAG compiler.
- clang/flang compiler: currently an open source development, the flang compiler is designed as a Fortran front-end for the LLVM clang compiler and may provide an interesting alternative in the future if/once matured (see this link for more information)
