[Users] Meeting Minutes

[Roland Haas]

Present: Frank, Roland, Zach, Erik, Peter, Ian

Zach's UIUC code based MHD code:
* code is almost ready, needs some cleaning up
* Frank to get into contact with Zach to set up a subversion repository
within the ET

Gallery (http://einsteintoolkit.org/about/gallery/):
* want more examples
* NSNS (with and without Llama): Roland
* collapse (to BH or to NS): Roland, Philipp or Christian Reisswig
* BBH and BH: Peter

Important Tickets for next release:
* #262 [1] concerns not being able to recover from a checkpoint if the
number of timelevels does not match what prolongation_order_time
requires also of interest might be #620 [2] which is an enhancement
request to avoid having to specify the maximum number of timelevels. We
will discuss this on the mailing list in more detail.
* #1395 that contains a workaround for svn 1.7 and parallel checkouts
[3]. Frank will take care of this.
* with more git thorns in the ET ticket #393 [4] should also be adressed

* documentation for GRHydro  and PITTNull code should be updated GRHydro
should include the relevant sections from the recent papers. PITTNull
should contain some information in the "Physical system" section of the
documentation

* there was a suggestion to try and include Llama in next release
however this seems to the too short notice since the code still needs
cleanup etc and not all of the Llama authors have been contacted

* if you have access to the newest Intel compiler, please test #1276 [5]
to see if it still has problems with restrict in C code.

* for the next workshop, consider "distributed" approach with several
institutes broadcasting the lectures and organizing groups for the
exercises, consider possibility of participants calling in (though this
should be the exception and participants should try and attend as a group)
* need to test whichever system might be used (video, slides, audio,
questions from autience, chat). Suggestions were either bigbluebutton
(most likely version 0.81 will be out by then) or the H323 (polycom)
systems at AEI, Caltech, LSU, PI.

Yours,
Roland
