I have built SCHISM-ESMF in Windows and please help me to test it

[lj-cug]

Dear Carsten and Joseph,
As the development of multi-cores CPU (32, 48, 96 cores) and many-cores GPU, as well as considerring the limited researchers and engineers in China use HPC cluster or even Unix OS, I strived to build and use SCHISM in Windows (compiling with Visual Studio 2022 + Intel OneAPI 2025 Fortran compiler ifx) to implement my river or coastal modelling work.
Recently I built SCHISM-PDAF-ESMF project, I thought this crazy, but I achieved it. Although I can only build ESMF-8.0.1 because ESMF-8.1.0 and newer versions changed obviously, and I succeed to run the example codes using ESMF-8.0.1.
Now I succeed to build the executable schism-esmf-pdaf.exe using the source codes including ESMF_v8.0.1, PDAF_V2.3.1, SCHISM_v5.13.0, METIS_v5.1.0 an ParMETIS_v4.3.0, schism-esmf_v0.3.1. But I found that the examples in schism-esmf-0.3.1 package was old, could you please send me the testing data in GMD-paper Yu HaoCheng, et al. 2025 to test my running?
By the way, I also build PESTc_v3.23.0, Amgx_v2.3.0, AmgXWrapper-1.6.2 and amgx-c-wrapper succefully. All the buildings are implemented in Windows OS. Referring the GPU acceleration codes from SHYFEM, I integrated it with SCHISM_v5.13.0, and can run in Windows OS using CUDA. But I'm not familiar with the Open Source License limitation issues and don't know how to test the code in Linux OS, how to merge the code with SCHISM in github. Could you guide me? It's also difficult to access github in China because the network safety management and control policy.
Thanks and Happy New Year,

Thx @lj-cug for the nice development and it's great to catch up with you!
@danishyo : can u plz send Dr. Li some sample PDAF tests.

Regarding CUDA GPU, my team have tested a first 3D barotropic version and its performance is impressive. We'll finish off 3D baroclinic part and release it.

Thanks @lj-cug for this effort! I'd be keen to learn how you achieved this. Would you share documentation on building with your different systems with us?

Also, you said you encountered problems with the recent ESMF. We try to stay up-to-date, please report issues with ESMF 8.9 as an issue and I'll make sure to fix it soon.

I have written a detailed introduction about building steps of ESMF-8.2.0 in Windows OS. And also my building information record can be checked. I only used ESMF-8.2.0 to build SCHISM-ESMF, and have spent two weeks. (^|^) ESMF 8.2.0 is enough for me, and building the newer version ESMF can be done in the same way.

The two testing items are necessary to verify my SCHISM-ESMF building:
(1) a simple lock-exchange test
(2) a real-case Northwestern Pacific during typhoon events test
This need your help.

Those 2 testcases can be found on svn repo:
svn co https://columbia.vims.edu/schism/schism_verification_tests

Can u send me your email so I can ask Jose to add you to the gSCHISM

So quick reply! Thanks.
