The **E**xclude **L**and **P**rocesses **i**n **N**EMO tool is a set of scripts that allow to easily find configurations to exclude Land-only processes in NEMO simulations.

To use the tool, just clone it to your work station and launch the ./Launcher and follow the instructions!

The first time that you run the tool it will install it.

After that, with the resolution and the maximum number of processes to use, it will give you the 5 better domain decompositions to run with a maximum number of processors.

Once the tool is installed, the command ``./Launcher ORCA025 512`` will produce :
```
Resolution  ORCA025
Max number of processors: 512


It will be better if you run with one of these configurations:
Bigger coefficient is better!

The parameters in the first three columns indicate the values that must go to the *NEMO* **namelist**.
The others parameters indicate the following:
* **OriginalP** indicate the number of subdomains with a determined decomposition without removing the land processes.
* **LandP** indicate the number of only-land subdomains.
* **SeaP** indicate the number of subdomains that include at least one sea-point.
* The **Coefficient** value is computed using the number of processors (**P**), the size of the original grid (**Os**) and the sum of the size of all the sea-subdomains (**Fs**).
The formula used is the following: **Coef** = **P** · **Os**^2 / **Fs**^2. Then, this value increases when more processors are used but is modulated with the **Os**^2 / **Fs**^2 factor. This factor is mainly affected by two things:
 * More overlapping between subdomains decreases this factor.
 * Being able to remove more land-only processes increases this factor.
