[Einstein Toolkit] #176: Test parameter files without running them

#176: Test parameter files without running them -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- It would be useful to be able to check that the parameters of a run are OK before running it. Since there can be long queue times on supercomputers, it would be good to do this on a local machine which might not have as much memory as is required for the full run. Currently, running the job would cause memory exhaustion on the smaller machine. One solution would be an additional command-line argument to Cactus --exit-after-paramcheck which stops the run cleanly after the PARAMCHECK Cactus bin. This is preferable to a new Cactus parameter, as it would not require the parameter file to be modified. One could imagine this also being potentially used by simfactory automatically when submitting a job (though this would only work if you could run MPI executables on the head node). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/176> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#535: Add autoconf macro to test C99 style variable declarations -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Many compilers don't support C99 style variable declarations in their default settings. We should test this, add certain flags automatically if we can, or abort with a clear error message otherwise. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/535> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#412: Split Appendices -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Currently, the appendices of the users' guide are repeated into the reference manual. This is somewhat confusing, and causes problems because the appendices cannot easily reference other sections (e.g. "see page 15" doesn't make sense since one doesn't know in which document this will be read). I suggest to split the appendices and have some of them in the users' guide while moving others into the reference manual, so that each appendix is included in only one document -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/412> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #531: Problem with adding/removing configuration.ccl files

#531: Problem with adding/removing configuration.ccl files ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Cactus doesn't handle well adding or removing configuration.ccl files. When a new configuration.ccl file is added, Cactus ignores it until the next "rebuild" (i.e. until another ccl file changes, until the thorn list changes, or until the user calls *-rebuild explicitly). When a configuration.ccl file is removed, make aborts with an error message, and a rebuild is forced. One way to remedy this would be to have (empty) configuration.ccl file in all thorns. After all, param.ccl and schedule.ccl files also need to be present even if they are empty. This would also remove a bit of complex logic from the Cactus make system. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/531> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #488: Reduce space taken by Formaline tarballs

#488: Reduce space taken by Formaline tarballs -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: Formaline | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- When syncing lightweight data of simulations from a cluster, much of the time and disk space on the local system is taken with Formaline tarballs. It would be good to reduce this. I propose opportunistically replacing the generated tarballs with hard- links to existing tarballs on the same filesystem after Formaline has written them to the new output directory if the files compare equal. These could be from previous restarts of the same simulation when using simfactory. Then, if an entire simulation is rsynced with the appropriate options, hard-links will be transferred as hard-links, and the overall transfer time and disk space used will be significantly reduced. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/488> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit
