Description

For GWD and GOCART2G threaded with the mini-gridcomp approach, the ability to selectively turn OpenMP off for those components where OpenMP is required for other components is not working as inteneded. The runtime option use_threads: .FALSE. to achieve that is being ignored. A branch called bugfix/aoloso/gridComp_level_numthrds has been created fro MAPL, GEOSgcm_GridComp, and GOCART to resolve this bug.

The affected files are MAPL.F90, MAPL_Generic.F90, MaplGenericComponent.F90, OpenMP_Support.F90, GOCART2G_GridCompMod.F90, CA2G_GridCompMod.F90, DU2G_GridCompMod.F90, NI2G_GridCompMod.F90, SU2G_GridCompMod.F90 GEOS_GwdGridComp.F90.

@aoloso I changed the base to be to develop as it was changing too many files.

@copilot : What do you think about this PR?

Here's my assessment of this PR:

Overall approach: ✅ Correct and clean

The core fix is sound: instead of calling the global omp_get_max_threads() to determine the thread count for a component's !$omp parallel region, each MaplGenericComponent now stores its own num_threads (defaulting to 1) as an instance field. The !$omp& num_threads(num_threads) clause added to the parallel directive ensures the OMP region respects the per-component value. This is exactly the right way to isolate thread counts per GC when using the mini-GS approach.

CI Failure: not related to this PR
The Build Tests failure (get_target_property() called with non-existent target "FMS::fms_r4" in GEOSmoist_GridComp/CMakeLists.txt:70) is a GEOSgcm CMake dependency issue unrelated to the MAPL code changes here. The develop branch build tests pass.

Issues I noticed and fixed:

• Tests/GetHorzIJIndex/GridComp.F90 declared num_threads as a local variable in setservices but never assigned or used it — fixed in commit dc0fc02 by reading num_threads: from config and calling MAPL%set_num_threads(num_threads), which also completes the usage demo for the new API.

A couple of things to be aware of:

1. Behavior change for existing threaded components: Any component that currently sets use_threads=.TRUE. but does not explicitly call set_num_threads() will now run with 1 OMP thread (the new default) instead of omp_get_max_threads(). The intent seems to be that GOCART2G/GWD components in their respective repos will call set_num_threads, but existing components relying on the old implicit behavior will silently become single-threaded.
2. MAPL_get_num_threads removed from public API: This is a breaking change for any downstream code using that symbol. Worth noting in the changelog/PR description.

The changes in the MAPL repo are minimal and well-scoped. The bulk of the fix (calling set_num_threads in GOCART2G, GWD, etc.) lives in the companion PRs for those repos.

The CI error is interesting here. The issue is that the other branches for this by @aoloso are based on GEOSgcm v12. But in MAPL, our CI is currently still based on GEOSgcm v11 (since that is what GEOSgcm main is).

So this is failing since it's checking out the "wrong" GEOSgcm_GridComp, say, from GEOS-ESM/GEOSgcm_GridComp#1412

Okay. I was wrong. This does change an interface in a way:

/discover/nobackup/mathomp4/SystemTests/builds/AGCM_V12/CURRENT/GEOSgcm/src/Components/@GEOSgcm_GridComp/GEOSagcm_GridComp/GEOSphysics_GridComp/GEOSgwd_GridComp/GEOS_GwdGridComp.F90(134): error #6404: This name does not have a type, and must have an explicit type.   [MAPL_GET_NUM_THREADS]
      num_threads = MAPL_get_num_threads()
--------------------^

So we might need to coordinate with @sdrabenh

@mathomp4 You do it as 3 PRs. PR1 in MAPL adds the interface. PR2 changes the client code to use PR1. PR3 eliminates old interface.

Changes are small so you can probably use superpowers to merge before waiting on all CI.
