[Users] Meeting Minutes

[Roland Haas]

Present: Erik, Frank, Roland, Ian, Steve

Release date:
* run testsuite by week of Nov 11th
* aim for release before Supercomputing conference
* Erik will start the tests on all machines, will then assign failing
tests to maintainers
* ask if Bruno Mundim would want to run on their machines in Frankfurt

Restriction in Carpet:
* commit patch to disable restriction into outer boundaries (which can
never be fully filled via restriction) after release
* add TODO item to optimize communication algorithm

* deferred tickets
** #590 deferred to next release
** #1425 not release critical, remove milestone
** #980 deferred until after release
** #1429 patch applied, asked Bernard for exact intel compiler
identification to add #ifdef to TP
** 1317 deferred until after release
** 809 deferred until after release
** 1251 deferred until after release, assign to Steve
* those with patches will be added to trunk very shortly after the release

* tickets for release
** Frank: apply conservative patch and disable for all intel 13
compilers starting from version known to fail. Backport more restrictive
exclusion once we know of a known good version
** Roland: check if vectorization patch in PUGH needs to depend on
Vectors (# 1411)
** Roland: apply first patch in #1395
** Roland: remove OPTIONAL_IFACTIVE from #1411
** Philipp: #1409 will include but add comment that Avec does not
currently work
** Erik: #1360 (check if they even build, defer until after release)
** Ian: #626, #1075, #1387: delete faulty parfiles
** #1364 closed, suggest to require simfactories "make" option to be an
executable with options. Needs to be documented.

Running tests with different numbers of processors:
* see comment in #1075 for decision on how to proceed if a test case
asks for an explicit number of processes

Yours,
Roland
