[Einstein Toolkit] #630: Some processor number combinations don't work on Kraken

#630: Some processor number combinations don't work on Kraken ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Submitting on Kraken with; sim --remote kraken create-submit maxwell_1proc --testsuite --procs 6 --num-threads 6 --walltime 4:00:00 leads to an error from aprun along the lines of -n cannot exceed -N (sorry, I deleted the error message). The idea was to get one MPI process with 6 threads. This same simfactory submission command works on Datura. The workaround is to use additionally --ppn-used=6. Is there some documentation for what each of these command line options precisely does? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/630> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#494: CarpetReduce tests nonstaggered and staggered fail with development version of Carpet --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- The CarpetReduce tests nonstaggered and staggered fail with the development version of Carpet and pass with the stable version. The failure is reported as: weight.d.asc: substantial differences did not reproduce 3 NaNs from old weight.d.asc significant differences on 3 (out of 9) lines Were the NaNs wrong before, and somehow got into the test output incorrectly? Or are the NaNs supposed to be there? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/494> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #219: ExternalLibraries method should be documented

#219: ExternalLibraries method should be documented ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: documentation | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ The Cactus documentation http://einsteintoolkit.org/info/documentation/UsersGuide/UsersGuidech6.html… (scroll down to Compiling with Extra Packages) currently tells people to use the "extras" method for enabling access to external libraries such as HDF5, MPI etc. As I understand it, this method is deprecated in favour of the ExternalLibraries method, and both should not be used at the same time for the same library. The documentation should be updated to describe the ExternalLibraries method, and the old method description should be moved to an appendix with a clear warning that this is deprecated. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/219> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #481: Tests should be converted to use new symmetry thorns

#481: Tests should be converted to use new symmetry thorns -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- It was decided (http://cactuscode.org/pipermail/developers/2010-September/006087.html) that the built-in CartGrid3D symmetries are deprecated and will not work with the Mercurial version of Carpet. Any test cases that use Grid::domain != "full" should be modified to use ReflectionSymmetry instead. In general, this should be possible without regenerating the test output. However, for the case of AHFinderDirect, the horizon finder actually uses a different internal multipatch grid structure if it detects that a CartGrid3D symmetry is being used. This means that the horizon shapes and quantities are different at the level of numerical error with ReflectionSymmetry. I propose to convert the tests to use ReflectionSymmetry and regenerate the test data (the grid function phi is the same with the new symmetry thorn, it's only the horizons which are different). The failing tests are related to checkpoint and recovery, and are not designed to test the symmetry mechanism. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/481> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #395: Thorns providing interpolator routines should provide testcases for them

#395: Thorns providing interpolator routines should provide testcases for them -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: ET_2011_11 Component: Other | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Errors in the interpolator often show up in the output of other thorns, depending on those interpolating routines. Figuring out that this is caused by problem while interpolating can take quite a bit of time, which could be saved if the interpolating thorns would include testsuites themselves. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/395> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #369: Add command to update thorn list

#369: Add command to update thorn list ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: eschnett | Owner: eric9 Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: GetComponents | Version: Keywords: | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ When the thorn list changes, then I have to run GetComponents --update twice: first to update the thorn list, and then to actually check out these thorns. Currently, I have to update all thorns twice, which is a waste of time. Ideally, GetComponents would first update the thorn list, then update itself, then update everything else, and thus perform three passes over the thorn list, but not perform the work three times. Can we achieve this somehow? For example, we could mark the CRL script and the thorn lists with special tags, and GetComponents would then perform the work in three stages, restarting in between. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/369> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #629: Allow parameters to be marked as deprecated in param.ccl files

#629: Allow parameters to be marked as deprecated in param.ccl files -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Parameters often need to be deprecated. For backwards compatibility, the best thing to do in this situation is to accept the old parameter and print a warning that the parameter is deprecated, and what other parameter should be used instead. Writing code to handle this in each case is redundant. I propose that there should be some way of indicating in the param.ccl file that a given parameter is deprecated. One possibility would be: {{{ BOOLEAN out3D_ghosts "Output ghost zones" STEERABLE = ALWAYS DEPRECATED = yes DEPRECATIONMESSAGE = "This parameter will be removed in a future release. Please use XXXX instead." { } "yes" }}} Cactus would then detect if the user had explicitly set that parameter and, if so, it would print a warning in paramcheck along the lines of Parameter CarpetIOHDF5::out3D_ghosts is deprecated. Please use XXXX instead. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/629> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit
