[Users] meeting minutes for 2016-05-16

[Roland Haas]

Present: Erik, Frank, Barry, Ian, Matt, Yosef, Zach, Steve, Eloisa

LIGO September event simulation
* Barry, Eloisa, and Ian have set up a parameter file for the GW event
that LIGO detected in September
* the simulation is short since the event was high masss
* there is a webpage and tutorial visualization using VisIt available
* provide full 3d output which is ~1TB and lightweight data which is
about 500GB
* an extensive Mathemtatica Notebook using SimulationTools
[http://simulationtools.org/] is provided showing how to do all sorts of
analysis for the simulation
* restructured gallery page to have little headings about each example

Feedback:
* add pointer to LIGO publications eg the PRL article
* point out scaling of results
* get DOI or simimlar for this, plan to have "proper" publication as
well, want to also publicize it in talks and to communities that do not
yet produce full GR simulations ordinarily eg the physics today
magazine, conceivably also include in LIGO data releases
* try provide data online suggest eg NCSA's data services
* suggest to make plots and movies available for download

ET release:
* hwloc https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1717
* HDF5 https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1851 suggest to apply

and
https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/raw-attachment/ticket/1851/0001-detect.sh-Treat-failure-to-find-H5pubconf.h-as-a-war.patch
Roland to review
* https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1853 accept revert on master
for release and fix diagonal output, move into feature branch, on
feature branch will merge the diagonal part of the old code and the
non-diagonal code of the new code
* piraha error messages https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1881
accept current solution
* AHFinderDirect https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1880 Roland
will commit new data, many of the now failing tests fail due to extra
lines of output that was not found before
* create wiki page with outstanding issues and progress documenting why
each item is fixed/not fixed
* collect suggestions for new release name

Yours,
Roland
