[Users] Meeting Minutes for 2023-9-14

[Cupp, Samuel D.]

Present: Steve, Sam, Roland, Leo, Jose, Peter, Yosef

ET_2023_11:
CarpetX review
Still has a severe lack of documentation, and it is much harder to build successfully than Carpet

Roland: compilation failed on Expanse because the NSIMD external library thorn tries to download sleef (Issue #2757<https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2757/nsimd-tries-to-download-sleef-when>). This should be resolvable by including sleef in the thorn.

Steve: I think another thing that should be done before inclusion is cleaning up the dead code, which it has a lot of. There is some room to push back release into December, and we should consider extending the release window to get CarpetX into the release.

CarpetX thorns should be added to master thornlist to see what breaks on the different clusters.
------------------------------
LORENE fails to build with spack, and spack doesn't reliably work across multiple clusters with the same setup
------------------------------
GRHayL
needs more documentation on the wiki; add some more discussion to the thorn doc
GRHayLHD test failed on intel; Peter is looking into it
test also failed in automated testing due to misconfigured test.ccl
------------------------------
sgrid
Roland: Wolfgang and Michal are still working on getting the code working as a standalone thorn that can be directly checked out; not sure how far along they are or what dependencies their code has
------------------------------

Peter will follow up with unanswered email from Hayley.
