[Users] Meeting minutes for 2023-05-25

[Cupp, Samuel D.]

Present: Sam, Keith, Yosef, Peter, Roland, Zach
Chair: Peter
Notetaker: Sam

* ET_2023_05 Release is out!

Peter: Gallery example now has multiple resolutions. Should we include all the data? Will increase the amount of data being stored.

Roland: We could just add the data specifically for the new plot and parameter files.

Peter: I've already added the parfiles and can add the new data.

* SPECv8
Roland: They've asked us for the exact version number of the code they are using. As far as we know, the ball is still in their court for moving forward with this.

* Tickets
Sam: I still need to close the tickets associated with the release, which I'll do today.

Roland: Since we have just released a new version, now is the time to start considering more serious changes to code. One change is removing the compile flags from the linker stage. This is because for compiling with CUDA the linker stage shouldn't be assuming that it is the c++ compiler. This is sufficient to compile CarpetX, but it remains to be seen whether this change will be sufficient for external libraries.

Zach: What is the plan for including CarpetX? Is it still coming soon?

Roland: The idea is to have it added in the November release, but this will require quite a bit of work to get CarpetX ready for a release, both with code cleanup and testing compilation on different systems.

Sam: I know some of the thorns need to be renamed to allow for smooth integration with the rest of the toolkit. Hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later.

Peter: Had a conversation with Zach about Ticket #963 but hasn't had a chance to look at McLachlan again since that call.

Zach: I found a different version of the 'third' change which has even better results than the original. I'll share that soon.

Roland: We can merge Ticket #2731 (checking for incomplete perl install). A fix is also proposed for Ticket #2526 (incorrect read/writes generated by Kranc). Ian doesn't have time to review this, so Roland will try to track down the person who added the READ/WRITE declarations to Kranc.

Next week the chair is Zach and the minute taker is Roland.
