General how to use Payu Docs #978

Description

@anton-seaice

Description

Payu is the experiment workflow manager used for several ACCESS models (e.g. esm1.5/1.6, om2 and om3), and provides the same interface and general concept to those models. A page with general Payu instructions is needed.

Why

There is duplication across the :

pages on payu features, including:

  • restart pruning
  • starting from a user specified restart file
  • syncing data to /g/data

Combing these and adding a payu specific page also allows better coverage of features, including

  • non-standard cloning (e.g. from a git tag or git commit)
  • forking experiments
  • definitions (e.g. whats a run vs an experiment vs a configuration ?)
  • provenance
  • (+others i haven't thought of I am sure)

The best current coverage of these topics is probably @aidanheerdegen 's "Running Model Experiments with payu and git" instructions from workshop 24

This new page can also resolve

#955

Close Criteria

New page is added, sections of duplication are removed from the run a model pages and instead link to the new page

Ill assign to @aidanheerdegen to organise (FYI @jo-basevi @chrisb13 )
