#317: Unproper bevaviour of sim submit when changing the parfile ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: alexander.beck-ratzka@… | Owner: mthomas Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: ET_2010_11 Keywords: | ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- If I make changes to the parfile of my simulation, and call then simfactory submit with the option --parfile=newpar, simfactory does not take this parfile. Instead of this, simfactory uses an old parfile from the old output-xxxx directory in my simualations direrctory. This usage of the old parfile might be wished. However, if this is the case, simfactory must complain if invoked with the option "parfile=...". But simfactory does not complain. In my case, the parfile has been modfied, but I am using the same name. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/317> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#123: Run a syntax checker in a pre-commit hook ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: mthomas Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- I am getting annoyed by the frequent syntax errors in SimFactory that used to be caught by Perl and are now not caught by Python. It would be ideal if syntax checking could be built into SimFactory, so that it executes automatically during startup if that isn't too slow. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/123> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #124: Implement a testing mechanism for simfactory

#124: Implement a testing mechanism for simfactory -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Currently there is no easy way to check that a change to simfactory hasn't broken critical functionality. A system could be introduced to run through each command and check that it does the right thing. It won't be possible to check every single combination of possible options, but the most commonly used options should be tested. A first attempt could involve testing that the commands work locally on the current machine. This would involve submitting jobs and testing that they have the expected behaviour. On busy machines, this means that the tests could potentially take a long time to complete. Remote submission could be tested by running these tests from a central location (e.g. the developer's workstation or laptop). We could also include a python correctness checking step in these tests (e.g. using pychecker or pylint). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/124> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #473: Add support for parameter file scripts

#473: Add support for parameter file scripts -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- It is often useful to specify simulations by higher-level descriptions than Cactus parameter files. For example, when performing a convergence test, many parameters might change between simulations at different resolutions, and changing them all manually is tedious and error-prone. Similarly, it can be very useful to set parameters to values computed from simple expressions. For this reason, I usually use a "parameter file script" as my basic description of a simulation. A parameter file script is a file with a ".rpar" extension which, when executed, generates a file in the same place but with a ".par" extension. The resulting file should be a valid simfactory parameter file. The attached patch adds support in SimFactory for these scripts. Use a script in place of a parameter file when invoking SimFactory. When a simulation is run, the script will be executed and the resulting parameter file will be used by Cactus. Also attached is an example of a parameter file script written in Perl. It looks exactly like a Cactus parameter file apart from a header and footer, and $-replacements in the main body. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/473> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#475: apply "Carpet: Increase warning level for synchronising groups without storage" to Carpet/git -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- I'd like to apply changeset: 3225:517449a54b9e user: Erik Schnetter <schnetter(a)cct.lsu.edu> date: Wed Dec 22 20:37:26 2010 -0600 summary: Carpet: Increase warning level for synchronising groups without storage to the git version of Carpet since these warnings pollute stdout in runs using the current release version of the ET thorns (would it be possible to apply this to the ET branch as well since it is also affected?). Unless this is vetoed I'll do so tomorrow. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/475> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #180: Reduce disk space used by checkpoints

#180: Reduce disk space used by checkpoints -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Currently simfactory stores the checkpoints for each restart in their own directory. This means that the Cactus mechanism for deleting all but the most recent N checkpoints does not see the previous checkpoints. This means that you can easily run out of quota space when doing very long simulations. One solution to this would be for SimFactory to store the checkpoints in a directory above the output-NNNN directories and make the current checkpoints directories under output-NNNN symbolic links to the common directory. This way, all restarts would see the same directory for checkpoint files, and Cactus could clean up the old checkpoints. The current hardlinking mechanism would not be required any more. This solution might be undesirable because it means that each restart is no longer independent. Another solution would be to give simfactory an option to delete old checkpoint files from previous restarts when a job starts. This would duplicate the functionality already available in Cactus. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/180> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #285: python simfactory submit does not remove active link after job execution has finished

#285: python simfactory submit does not remove active link after job execution has finished ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: alexander.beck-ratzka@… | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: major Milestone: | Component: Other Version: | Keywords: ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- The python version of simfactory does not remove the active link output-xxxx-active in the simulation directory, after a job has finished. As a consequence the next submit fails with the error message, that more then one active link has been found. Removing the link manually enables a poper submit of the next job. The problem occurs on a lustre file system. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/285> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit
