 ## Scripts
 
-Contains the scripts used to process the NEMO code base and to add profiling
-instrumentation (https://psyclone.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/profiling.html)
-and OpenACC or OpenMP directives:
-
-1. `process_nemo.py` is a driver script that allows the user to specify
-   which files to process with PSyclone, the transformation script to use
-   and where to put the outputs:
-
-       $ ./process_nemo.py -h

-                              input_file [input_file ...]
-
-       Process the specified NEMO source files using PSyclone
-
-       positional arguments:
-         input_file      One or more NEMO pre-processed source files
-
-       optional arguments:
-         -h, --help      show this help message and exit
-         -o OUT_DIR      Destination directory for processed source files
-         -s SCRIPT_FILE  PSyclone transformation script
-         -x              exit immediately if PSyclone fails
-         -p              add profiling instrumentation to the PROFILE_ONLY file
-                         list. Note that files processed by the SCRIPT_FILE may
-                         be introducing profiling instrumentation as part of
-                         that script.
-
-   In addition to the command-line flags, the script itself contains two
-   variables that may be used to control its behaviour:
-
-   - `EXCLUDED_FILES`: list of filenames that PSyclone will not attempt to process.
-   - `PROFILE_ONLY`: list of filenames to add profiling instrumentation but
-      do not attempt to further process by PSyclone.
-
-   Finally, the precise invocation to use when running PSyclone may be
-   specified by setting the `PSYCLONE` environment variable. If this is not set
-   then `psyclone` must be in the user's PATH.
-
-2. PSyclone transformation scripts:
-   - `kernels_trans.py` adds OpenACC kernel directives and places fine-grained
-     profiling instrumentation around any regions that haven't had OpenACC
-     added.
-   - `omp_cpu_trans.py` adds OpenMP directives for CPU threading parallelism.
-   - `omp_gpu_trans.py` adds OpenMP offloading directives for GPU acceleration.
-
-These scripts are a *work in progress* and are being developed to work on the
-MO_GO8 configuration of NEMO supplied by the Met Office. This configuration is
-based on version 4.0.2 of NEMO and is compiled using:
-
-    ./makenemo -n MO_GO8_GPU -r SPITZ12 -m linux_nvfortran_gpu \
-        del_key "key_iomput key_mpp_mpi" add_key "key_nosignedzero"
-
-(where you will need an `arch/arch-linux_nvfortran_gpu.fcm` FCM configuration
-file specifying how to use the NVIDIA compiler).
-
-If you are applying PSyclone to any other version or configuration of NEMO then
-these scripts should serve as a useful starting point.

+# PSyclone NEMO Examples
+
+This directory contains various examples of the use of PSyclone to transform
+source code from the NEMO ocean model.
+
+> [!Important]
+> The NEMO build system, `makenemo`, has the ability to apply psyclone
+> scripts that come with the NEMO repository (see
+> [the NEMO user guide](https://sites.nemo-ocean.io/user-guide/psyclone.html))
+> but these are pinned to a particular release of PSyclone. By contrast,
+> the process presented in this README uses the experimenatal `psyclonefc`
+> command to intercept any compilation command and wrap it with a psyclone
+> code-transformation step, and therefore bypasses the makenemo `-p` option.
+> This is the recommended way to apply upstream psyclone transformations, as it
+> is not contrained by the file-exclusions and backward compatibility guarantees
+> of the `makenemo` scripts.
+
+## Downloading the NEMO source and data files
+
+
+```bash
+git clone https://forge.nemo-ocean.eu/nemo/nemo.git --branch 5.0 --single-branch
+wget https://gws-access.jasmin.ac.uk/public/nemo/sette_inputs/r5.0.0/ORCA2_ICE_v5.0.0.tar.gz
+tar -xzf ORCA2_ICE_v5.0.0.tar.gz
+``` 
+
+## Set up environment variables
+
+The code that psyclone produces, the compiler that reads it and the flags that
+the build system uses should match in order to produce a successful run. In this
+example we use the `KGO/arch-linux_spack.fcm` and the `insert_loop_parallelism.py`
+transformation script. Both contain environment variables 
+
+First, the arch file MPIF90 needs to be set to `psyclonefc`, this is a command line utility
+that can be used instead of a call to the compiler that first processes the given
+source file (using the options give to PSYCLONE_OPTS) and then send the output to
+a compiler (given by PSYCLONE_COMPILER).
+
+
+
+```bash
+export MPIF90=psyclonefc
+export PSYCLONE_COMPILER=mpif90
+export PSYCLONE_OPTS="-l output -s ${PSYCLONE_NEMO_EXAMPLES_DIR}/insert_loop_parallelism.py"
+```
+
+Then the injected parallel directives  
+
+Chose the flags between:
+- Example of serial transformations with no parallel directives
+```bash
+export PARALLEL_DIRECTIVES=""
+export FCFLAGS="-i4 -Mr8 -O2 -Mnofma -Mnovect -g"
+```
+
+- Example of inserting OpenMP CPU threading parallelism
+```bash
+export PARALLEL_DIRECTIVES="omp_threading"
+export FCFLAGS="-i4 -Mr8 -O2 -Mnofma -Mnovect -g -mp"
+```
+
+- Example of inserting OpenMP GPU offloading with reproducible build flags
+```bash
+export PARALLEL_DIRECTIVES="omp_offloading"
+export FCFLAGS="-i4 -Mr8 -O2 -Mnofma -Mnovect -g -mp=gpu -gpu=mem:managed,math_uniform"
+export REPRODUCIBLE=1
+```
+
+- Example of inserting OpenACC GPU offloading with reproducible build flags (-mp=gpu is needed for reproducibility)
+```bash
+export PARALLEL_DIRECTIVES="acc_offloading"
+export FCFLAGS="-i4 -Mr8 -O2 -Mnofma -Mnovect -g -acc=gpu -mp=gpu -gpu=mem:managed,math_uniform"
+export REPRODUCIBLE=1
+```
+
+- Example of fast GPU build flags 
+```bash
+unset REPRODUCIBLE
+export PARALLEL_DIRECTIVES="omp_offloading+omp_threading"
+export FCFLAGS="-i4 -Mr8 -O3 -mp=gpu -gpu=mem:managed"
+```
+
+## Compile and Run NEMO with psyclone processing
+
+```bash
+./makenemo -r ORCA2_ICE_PISCES -m linux_test -n ORCA2_psycloned del_key "key_xios key_top" -j 6 -v 1
+```
+

 ## Downloading the NEMO source and data files
 
-
+To test the examples you can download NEMO and its input data as follows:
 ```bash
 git clone https://forge.nemo-ocean.eu/nemo/nemo.git --branch 5.0 --single-branch
 wget https://gws-access.jasmin.ac.uk/public/nemo/sette_inputs/r5.0.0/ORCA2_ICE_v5.0.0.tar.gz

-## Set up environment variables
+The examples have been tested with NEMOv4.0.2 and NEMOv5.0, but we aim to support any
+version of NEMO. If you encounter any issue applying these examples please report to
+the authors.
 
-The code that psyclone produces, the compiler that reads it and the flags that
-the build system uses should match in order to produce a successful run. In this
-example we use the `KGO/arch-linux_spack.fcm` and the `insert_loop_parallelism.py`
-transformation script. Both contain environment variables 
 
-First, the arch file MPIF90 needs to be set to `psyclonefc`, this is a command line utility
-that can be used instead of a call to the compiler that first processes the given
-source file (using the options give to PSYCLONE_OPTS) and then send the output to
-a compiler (given by PSYCLONE_COMPILER).
+## Set up environment variables
+
+In order to provide a flexible system that works with different directives and
+compilers we provide a parameterised transformation script
+`insert_loop_parallelism.py` and an example NEMO arch file `KGO/arch-linux_spack.fcm`
+with multiple environment variables. These, together with the `psyclonefc`
+environment variables have to be set up appropriately depending on the desired
+output.
 
+First of all, the arch file has a `MPIF90` to choose the compiler, this
+needs to be set to `psyclonefc`. This is a compiler wrapper utility that
+substitutes its call with: an invocation to psyclone to process the given
+source file (using the options provided in `PSYCLONE_OPTS`) and then send the
+output to a compiler (provided by `PSYCLONE_COMPILER`).
 
+For example, to apply the `insert_loop_parallelism.py` and compile it with
+`mpif90` we can use the following set up:
 
 ```bash
 export MPIF90=psyclonefc

-## Compile and Run NEMO with psyclone processing
+In addition, `ASYNC_PARALLEL`, `ENABLE_INLINING`, `PROFILING`
+
+## Compilation
+
+Once the environment variables are set, use the `makenemo` command with
+the desired NEMO configuration and keys. For example:
 
 ```bash
-./makenemo -r ORCA2_ICE_PISCES -m linux_test -n ORCA2_psycloned del_key "key_xios key_top" -j 6 -v 1
+./makenemo -r ORCA2_ICE_PISCES -m arch-linux_spack -n ORCA2_psycloned ...
 ```
 
+If everything worked you can see the generated files in the
+`<configuration>/BLD/tmp` directory.
+
+## Fixing issues and tuning the generated implementation
+
+Since this is now a two-step process. There are two locations where you can modify
+files that will alter the output result. First is the input source code. For this
+we recommend using the built-in `makenemo` functionality
+
+```bash
+./makenemo -e <directory> ...
+```
+
+In addition to the source, you can also modify the recipe that psyclone uses to
+transform the code. In this example you can do so by changing any detail of the
+`insert_loop_parallelism.py` transformation script, but the `FILES_TO_SKIP`
+global variable is particularly relevant as it allows psyclone skip processing
+the listed files. If modifying a particular file is known to cause problems or
+performance regressions, include it in this list.
+
+You can also do both. For example if you want to provide a modified file that
+already includes directives, you need to reference it with the `-e <path>`
+and in the FILES_TO_SKIP (otherwise Psyclone would ignore the given directives
+and try to insert its own). This is currently the optimal approach for `seaice`
+and `lbclnk.f90` GPU offloading.
+
+## Running the generated code
+
+Finally, once the NEMO `makenemo` build has succeeded, we can run NEMO from
+the configuration EXP00 directory. We include some known-good-outputs in the
+`KGO` directory, but be aware that these can be compiler/flags/system-sensitive:
+

+
+## Identifying the cause of issues
+
+A difficulty of working with code-transformation scripts is that it is possible
+to incorrect transform a file semantics while still creating valid Fortran.
+This means that the transformation will succeed and the generated code will
+compile, but the results will diverge. This gets more complicated with parallel
+programming because certain operations like reductions or atomics are not
+always reproducible. For NEMO we typically compare the generated `run.stat` field
+values. To do that we recommend:
+
+- Starting building NEMO without `psyclonefc` and conservative optimisation flags
+  and ru it serially. Then store the generated `run.stat`.
+- Then switch to using `psyclonefc` with the `PSYCLONE_OTPS="-s passthrough.py"`,
+  this will make all files pass through psyclone but without applying any
+  transformations. Check if the results still match.
+- Then build it with `PARALLEL_DIRECTIVES="" PSYCLONE_OTPS="-s insert_loop_parallelism.py"`
+  and check if the results still match
+- Then run it `REPRODUCIBLE=1 PARALLEL_DIRECTIVES="omp_threading" PSYCLONE_OTPS="-s insert_loop_parallelism.py"`
+  and see if the results still match.
+- Finally, run it with `REPRODUCIBLE=1 PARALLEL_DIRECTIVES="omp_offloading" PSYCLONE_OTPS="-s insert_loop_parallelism.py"`
+
+Orthogonally to finding which step is causing the divergence we may want to find
+which file/s are causing it. This folder also contains a `do_file_by_file.sh`
+script that build NEMO many times, each with only one file being transformed,
+and compares the results with the stores `run.stat`

 ## Identifying the cause of issues
 
 A difficulty of working with code-transformation scripts is that it is possible
-to incorrect transform a file semantics while still creating valid Fortran.
+to incorrectly transform a file semantics while still creating valid Fortran.
 This means that the transformation will succeed and the generated code will
 compile, but the results will diverge. This gets more complicated with parallel
 programming because certain operations like reductions or atomics are not
 always reproducible. For NEMO we typically compare the generated `run.stat` field
 values. To do that we recommend:
 
-- Starting building NEMO without `psyclonefc` and conservative optimisation flags
-  and ru it serially. Then store the generated `run.stat`.
+- Starting building NEMO *without* `psyclonefc` and conservative optimisation flags
+  and run it serially. Then store the generated `run.stat`.
 - Then switch to using `psyclonefc` with the `PSYCLONE_OTPS="-s passthrough.py"`,
   this will make all files pass through psyclone but without applying any
   transformations. Check if the results still match.

 A difficulty of working with code-transformation scripts is that it is possible
 to incorrectly transform a file semantics while still creating valid Fortran.
+
 This means that the transformation will succeed and the generated code will
 compile, but the results will diverge. This gets more complicated with parallel
 programming because certain operations like reductions or atomics are not
-always reproducible. For NEMO we typically compare the generated `run.stat` field
-values. To do that we recommend:
+always reproducible. Therefore, to understand what causes the results divergence
+it is usefulk to apply the transformations step-by-step while checking if the
+`run.stat` values change. Some useful steps are:
 
 - Starting building NEMO *without* `psyclonefc` and conservative optimisation flags
-  and run it serially. Then store the generated `run.stat`.
-- Then switch to using `psyclonefc` with the `PSYCLONE_OTPS="-s passthrough.py"`,
-  this will make all files pass through psyclone but without applying any

+- Then switch to using `psyclonefc` with the `PSYCLONE_OPTS="-s passthrough.py"`,
+  this will make psyclone process all files but without applying any
   transformations. Check if the results still match.

+- Then build it with `PSYCLONE_OPTS="-s insert_loop_parallelism.py"` but keeping

+  no directives yet.
+- Then run it `REPRODUCIBLE=1 PARALLEL_DIRECTIVES="omp_threading" PSYCLONE_OPTS="-s insert_loop_parallelism.py"`
   and see if the results still match.
