CanESM Porting Guide

When appropriate, developers/users/sys-admins may wish/need to port the CanESM system to new research platforms. This document is meant to guide this process.

Warning

As of July 2025, this is a just a high level guide, that us a work in progress. As more platforms are added to the supported list for the modelling system, this document should be updated as lessons are learned and more specific instructions are ironed out.

Note

This documentation will act as a good starting place for the guide needed to deploy imsi/canesm on new platforms (including DRAC machines)
