Hi,<br>
<br>
I have been following this document, <a href="https://einsteintoolkit.org/seminars/2022_02_24/index.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://einsteintoolkit.org/seminars/2022_02_24/index.html</a> , to set up ET on my cluster, working also on some example configuration files.<br>
<br>
While preparing the submit and run scripts, I wanted to check the description of the @FOO@ macros that SimFactory uses.<br>
<br>
I checked these places but found no information.<br>
<br>
  *<br>
<a href="https://simfactory.bitbucket.io/simfactory2/userguide/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://simfactory.bitbucket.io/simfactory2/userguide/</a> (no mention of macros)<br>
  *<br>
<a href="https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simulation_Factory_Advanced_Tutorial" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simulation_Factory_Advanced_Tutorial</a> (1 mention of the @USER@ macro and a pointer to a section #Macros<<a href="https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simulation_Factory_Advanced_Tutorial#Macros" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simulation_Factory_Advanced_Tutorial#Macros</a>> that seems missing)<br>

<a href="https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Configuring_a_new_machine" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Configuring_a_new_machine</a> (there is no information on the submitscript and runscript)<br>
<br>
So I would like to ask:<br>
<br>
If e.g. I have this line in my submitscript:<br>
#SBATCH -A @ALLOCATION@<br>
<br>
Where is @ALLOCATION@ "read" from?<br>
<br>
My guess is that this is specified in the .ini file in this line:<br>
allocation = <project_account><br>
<br>
Could you confirm if this is the case?<br>
<br>
Is there another source of documentation (that I might have missed) describing what these @FOO@ placeholders do?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

Hi people,<br>
<br>
I have used ReadInterpolate successfully for different applications in the past. I'm now trying to use it to interpolate onto a new grid that has 5 ghost zones i.e.:<br>
<br>
CoordBase::boundary_size_x_lower     = 5<br>
CoordBase::boundary_size_y_lower     = 5<br>
CoordBase::boundary_size_z_lower     = 5<br>
CoordBase::boundary_size_x_upper     = 5<br>
CoordBase::boundary_size_y_upper     = 5<br>
CoordBase::boundary_size_z_upper     = 5<br>
Driver::ghost_size                   = 5<br>
GRHydro::GRHydro_stencil             = 5<br>
But I'm getting this error:<br>
<br>
