[Users] Einstein Toolkit Meeting Minutes (August 11, 2014).

[Peter Diener]

Minutes from the Einstein Toolkit Meeting on August 11, 2014.

Present:

Frank, Peter, Barry, Josef, Ian, Steve, Josh, Jonah.

Tickets:

   778: PittNullCode is slow to compile. Frank is not sure what to do about
   it. According to Josef there is a constraint function that is slow.
   Josef usually does not compile this file. Ask Bela and or Roland about
   suggestions about what to do. Check if newer Intel compilers compiles it
   faster. Is it an option to remove it from ET.

   ?: Issue with using less than a full node in Simfactory. Ian suggest to
   postpone support until Simfactory3. Steve suggest a simple fix, but Ian
   thinks it will be to difficult. Simfactory3 needs some attention (Erik,
   Barry, Ian). One person is using it in production at the AEI for
   managing simulations. The code is rewritten and much more maintainable.

   1648: Extract information from mpiCC to figure out how to compile Cactus
   with MPI. Steve wants to know if it works on system he hasn't tried. Try
   it on the usual ET release test machines. Steve will propose another
   patch to take into account comments from Ian.

   1650: Patch is reviewed ok. Steve will commit and close.

   1618: Steve looked at the patch and found that not all comments about
   previous has been addressed. Steve is talking to Jian and Geng Bin.
   Keep the ticket open.

   1518: Patch for expression parsing to fix inconsistency in Cactus
   expression parsing. Standard test suites pass. Needs somebody to review
   the patch.

Git transition:

   Almost final version of repositories are available. A few minor issues
   to beresolved.

   1: Some arrangements have thorns that are not part of ET.
   2: PUGHIO thorns have been moved into PUGH.
   3: Some username mappings are missing. Frank will resolve.
   4: Some thorns have changes associated with tags. This is not possible
      in git.

   Barry invites people to try out the repositories. Barry has a
   new ET thornlist. Frank has given Barry commit right to manifest so he
   shoiuld  commit. Barry will send a summary with instructions to the
   mailing list.

Cheers,

   Peter
