> My question is how come there is a doubling of a READS grid::x(Everywhere) along with the same for y and z?  I don't see any problem in the script which obviously induces such behavior.  So, does this indicate that there is a problem somewhere or should I ignore the doubling of the READS for x, y, and z?  This script prepares initial data so this would not occur repeatedly.


Hi Comer,

This looks like a bug in Kranc.  Different parts of Kranc are probably contributing accesses to the coordinate variables, and Kranc is not de-duplicating them.  Since Cactus/Carpet currently don't look at these entries, it should be harmless for the moment.  I have created an issue on Kranc's issue tracker: https://github.com/ianhinder/Kranc/issues/131.  Would you be OK with sending me the script which has this problem, so I can attach it to the issue?  Note that this would make the script publicly-available.  If this is not OK, you can just send it to me privately.
