[Users] Meeting minutes for 2023-10-05

[Leo Rosa Werneck]

Dear all,

Here are today’s minutes.

Chair   : Peter
Minutes : Leo
Present : Zach, Steve, Sam, Roland, Peter, Leo


Release:

- Sam: every time a new thorn is added to the thornlist for checkout, the CI
  testing does not get that thorn, and so Roland or Steve has to manually update
  the CI. Steve: there are instructions on how to do it somewhere.

- SGRID: Liwei is reviewing.

- Sam pushed an update to the CarpetX thorns in GRHayL. GRHayL functions still
  lack the proper declaration of device functions in them, but Sam and Leo will
  work on that in the near future.

- Steve suggests that maybe the CarpetX thorns in GRHayL should be included in
  the next release instead, as they have not been shown to run on GPUs. Roland
  said that as long as the code compiles on a GPU build, it should be fine;
  having GPU support is not a requirement for inclusion. Steve says that even if
  we get everything compiled and properly declared, it likely that benchmark
  tests won't have been run, and that is something that we might want done
  before inclusion.

- Seed_Magnetic_Fields: Zach sent a review to Sam.

- CarpetX: Steve found some issues, but now has a working cfg file for Deep
  Bayou, which may be useful for other systems.

Unanswered questions on mailing list:

- Extract thorn issue: likely needs to activate additional time levels, change
  the prolongation type, or simply request the output to be generated only when
  all time levels are aligned. Leo responded.
