#331: SimFactory does not abort if it has been given a nonexistent optionlist ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- If I specify a nonexistent optionlist in a machine's .ini file, I get the warning Info: optionlist is: None Warning: no option list specified, using blank option list This is incorrect. I have specified an optionlist, but it has not been found, which indicates an error. In this case I would expect a fatal error. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/331> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#228: Make it easier for users to create accounts on TRAC ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit trac | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Currently, in order to interact fully with TRAC, it is necessary to have a CCT account. I would prefer that all potential users of the ET/Cactus TRAC could create accounts. This way, it would be possible for all bug reporters to be notified of changes to the tickets they create, and makes it more likely that they will respond to requests for further information and confirmations of fixes. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/228> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #270: Need web instructions for building on a new machine

#270: Need web instructions for building on a new machine -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit website | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- We should have instructions on the web that explain how to build the Einstein Toolkit on a new machine, i.e. a machine for which we don't have a SimFactory entry already. This seems to be a fairly common case for new users, who rather want to build on their own machine instead of on Queen Bee. This should probably concentrate on configuring Cactus first, i.e. on configuring SimFactory for building a configuration. Job submission etc. should come later. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/270> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#68: GetComponents hang due to certificate issues. --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: diener@… | Owner: eric9 Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: GetComponents | Version: ET_2010_06 Keywords: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- I did a complete new checkout of the EinsteinToolkit on numrel06 using the version of GetComponents available on the EinsteinToolkit web pages and had GetComponents hang with no errors or warnings when checking out AEIThorns/AEILocalInterp. Trying the checkout manually I got: Error validating server certificate for 'https://svn.aei.mpg.de:443': - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the fingerprint to validate the certificate manually! Certificate information: - Hostname: svn.aei.mpg.de - Valid: from Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:02:12 GMT until Sun, 22 Feb 2015 16:02:12 GMT - Issuer: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, DE - Fingerprint: 03:b4:e8:6e:d9:09:e9:93:72:e9:ff:fa:df:e4:2c:6d:1d:2a:e4:66 (R)eject, accept (t)emporarily or accept (p)ermanently? p After accepting the certificate and restarting the checkout proceeded without problems. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/68> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #181: AEILocalInterp should not off-centre the interpolation stencil by default

#181: AEILocalInterp should not off-centre the interpolation stencil by default ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: AEILocalInterp | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- AEILocalInterp by default will off-centre the interpolation stencil if there are insufficient points to perform the interpolation. In a parallel setting, this could happen due to there being insufficient ghost points for the interpolator chosen. The off-centering leads to an interpolation error which is of the correct order but larger than for a centered stencil. More importantly, it leads to different results on different numbers of processes. This violates a basic design principle of Cactus, and the expectation of users, that changing the number of processors should not change the results of a simulation. I propose that instead of silently off-centering the stencil, AEILocalInterp should abort with an error indicating that there are insufficient ghost-zones. The interpolator options corresponding to this are: boundary_off_centering_tolerance={0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0} boundary_extrapolation_tolerance={0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/181> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #394: Testsuite log file should contain more information

#394: Testsuite log file should contain more information -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: testsuites | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- It is useful to look at the testsuite log file for information about how the tests were run. For example, which compiler was used, and with what compiler options. We need to balance this against providing information which will always change, making diffs hard to read. The most extreme case would be to output all make variables. Maybe better would be to output CC, CFLAGS, CXX, etc. Another option would be to parse these and say "intel compiler", "gcc", "pgi" etc. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/394> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #241: Thorns should be able to specify implementation versions, and other thorns should be able to depend on those

#241: Thorns should be able to specify implementation versions, and other thorns should be able to depend on those -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Cactus thorns implement 'implementations', and other thorns can then depend on particular implementations being present. However, quite often those are updated, and incompatibilities occur. Usually this is resolved by the developer in both thorns - the implementing and the using thorn. However, a user might just update one of them, and Cactus would not catch this error. Thus, I suggest to think about, and implement how to: - specify implementation versions e.g. IMPLEMENTS: Cactus (4.0) The version string within () would have be sorted in an intelligent way to allow comparisons [1]. - specify dependencies on particular versions of other implementations In particular I suggest the following dependencies: depends, and conflicts, both with comparisons < <= == >= > != e.g. DEPENDS: Cactus (>= 4.0) DEPENDS: BadImplementation (!=3.14) <-- this introduces a dependency CONFLICTS: BadImplementation (==3.14) <-- this doesn't introduce a depencency [1] First the initial part of each string consisting entirely of non-digit characters is determined. These two parts (one of which may be empty) are compared lexically. If a difference is found it is returned. The lexical comparison is a comparison of ASCII values modified so that all the letters sort earlier than all the non-letters. Then the initial part of the remainder of each string which consists entirely of digit characters is determined. The numerical values of these two parts are compared, and any difference found is returned as the result of the comparison. For these purposes an empty string (which can only occur at the end of one or both version strings being compared) counts as zero. These two steps (comparing and removing initial non-digit strings and initial digit strings) are repeated until a difference is found or both strings are exhausted. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/241> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit
