[Einstein Toolkit] #591: Add harmonic shift to McLachlan

#591: Add harmonic shift to McLachlan -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: Keywords: McLachlan | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- The attached patch adds a harmonic shift condition to McLachlan. It does this by introducing a new real-valued parameter harmonicShift. This should be set to 0 for gamma-driver shift (the default, and the existing behaviour), and to 1 for harmonic shift. This is useful for code- correctness tests with the shifted gauge wave which is an exact solution of the Einstein equations in harmonic gauge. The harmonic shift equation has been tested with the shifted gauge wave exact solution and yields convergence to the exact solution. The current way that gauge conditions is handled in McLachlan is not very elegant, and I don't think this patch should be applied as-is. I am putting it here for anyone who might find it useful. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/591> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#624: Replace Cactus complex number implementation with C/C++ standard implementation -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Cactus offers CCTK_COMPLEX. This maps to the standard datatype in Fortran, but not in C or C++. It should map to the standard datatypes in C and C++ as well, so that the growing body of code written in C and C++ can reasonably make use of complex numbers. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/624> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #737: simfactory sync can lead to inconsistent builds

#737: simfactory sync can lead to inconsistent builds ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- simfactory's sync command uses rsync with the --archive (-a) option. This option set the modification date of files on the target machine to that on the source machine. This can lead to inconsistent builds in the following situation: [1] local: edit source_file.c [2] local: simfactory sync [3] local: edit source_file.c [4] remote: simfactory build [5] local: simfactory sync [6] remote: simfactory build [6] will not rebuild source_file.o since [5] set the modification time to that of [3] which which is older than [4] hence make will not consider source_file.o to be out-of-date. A simple fix is to add --no-times to the rsync options. Unfortunately this disables rsync's file modification time optimization and requires it to compute checksums on all files which can be very slow on slow filesystems. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/737> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #620: Simplify timelevel handling for Cactus thorn writers

#620: Simplify timelevel handling for Cactus thorn writers -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Currently, a thorn writer must declare the maximum number of timelevels for a variable in the interface.ccl file, then allocate a specific number of timelevels for which storage is allocated in the schedule.ccl file. There are rules for how many timelevels a variable should have. For example, to evolve using MoL I think you need at least two, whereas to evolve using mesh refinement with time prolongation order 2 you need three. The problem is that the person writing the thorn shouldn't have to know how it is going to be used. If I write an evolution thorn, I should not care whether it is used with mesh refinement or not. I certainly shouldn't have to care what prolongation order is going to be used. Would it be possible for Cactus to automatically determine the number of timelevels needed for a given variable? My proposal is that it should not be necessary for the user to specify the number of timelevels in the interface.ccl or schedule.ccl file for variables declared in that thorn. The only time a thorn writer should have to do that is if that thorn specifically uses the other timelevels. For example, a thorn which couples to MoL will probably only ever read or write to the current timelevel. MoL, on the other hand, could tell Cactus that it needs a certain number of timelevels at runtime for those variables. Similarly for mesh refinement. This goes along with the planned changes to the scheduling system to make it easier to program Cactus thorns and make it harder to make errors. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/620> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #695: Don't buffer output from configuration scripts

#695: Don't buffer output from configuration scripts ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Output from configuration scripts is buffered, and is only output after the script has finished. This is inconvenient for long-running scripts. Instead, the output should be shown right away. This buffering is done in file lib/sbin/ConfigScriptParser.pl, which uses Perl backquotes `` to collect all of the script's output. Instead, Cactus should use a pipe to read the script's output line-by-line, and process it immediately. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/695> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #163: Assertion `tl>=0 and tl<timelevels' failed error

#163: Assertion `tl>=0 and tl<timelevels' failed error ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: azebrowski@… | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- I'm currently running a Cactus simulation based off the ET mclachlan parameter file. I have some custom thorns which force checkpointing every iteration, and then write new parameter files. The new parameter files are used to run specific functions from the host simulation ("spawning"), but I'm having some problems resuming simulations. Currently, I get this error when resuming: INFO (Carpet): GF: rhs: 818k active, 1440k owned (+76%), 1896k total (+32%), 328 steps/time cactus_sim: /home/azebrowski/Cactus/arrangements/Carpet/CarpetLib/src/th.hh:79: double th::get_time(int, int, int) const: Assertion `tl>=0 and tl<timelevels' failed. [cyder:32759] *** Process received signal *** [cyder:32759] Signal: Aborted (6) I'm guessing there's a parameter I'm not setting properly in my child simulation, could anyone give me a pointer to where I should be looking? I looked for things relating to timelevels in the host/spawned parameter files, but didn't see anything that stood out. My parameter files used and full output are attached to this email, with the disclaimer that I modified the spawned parameter file to run every function instead of skipping some in an attempt to bypass any problems that could be caused by skipping some Carpet function on accident. I've made a bzipped tarball containing the checkpointed data from the simulation. It contains several parameter files. The parameter file of interest here is spawn.par, as it doesn't use any of my custom code but still causes Cactus to abort with an error. I left the other parameter files in on the off chance that I might need to refer to them later. Here is the source parameter file, which creates the spawned simulation: http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~azebrowski/ml-ahfinder-spawn.par Here is the spawned simulation's parameter file: http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~azebrowski/spawn.par Here is the full checkpointed data and another copy of the spawned parameter file: http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~azebrowski/data.tar.bz2 Other information: I ran the simulation using OpenMP with 12 cores to generate the checkpointed data.

[Einstein Toolkit] #361: delta_time when setting up ID with explicit time dependence

#361: delta_time when setting up ID with explicit time dependence ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: eloisa.bentivegna@… | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: ET_2010_11 Keywords: | ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- In CallInitial, delta_time is used to calculate the time corresponding to the different timelevels (line 399 of Carpet/src/Initialise.cc). At this stage, though, delta_time is always equal to 1, leading to potentially very separated initial-data slices when using init_each_timelevel and an initial-data thorn that uses cctk_time explicitly. Should cctkGH->cctk_delta_time be used here instead? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/361> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit
