[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

[Einstein Toolkit] #334: unsuccessful qsub not recognized / submit succeeds for finished simulation

#334: unsuccessful qsub not recognized / submit succeeds for finished simulation ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: mthomas Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- python version: I submitted a simulation 'sim submit' but the corresponding qsub failed due to wrong numbers of procs/node (philip cluster). I changed the number given on the command line and did a 'sim submit' again, this time successful. Several things happend which I think could be done better: - the unsuccessful qsub was not detected during the new submit - it attempted a restart and didn't simply clean the unsuccessful submit - when trying the restart, it went ahead and queued the job, but this later failed when run with "cannot rerun a restart that has been finished". This could have been caught earlier - without the wait time in the queue. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/334> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#649: simfactory should create the "simulations" directory ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- when following the new users tutorial one gets: {{{ [rhaas@qb1 Cactus]$ ./simfactory/bin/sim submit static_tov --parfile=par/static_tov.par --procs=32 --walltime=8:0:0 Parameter file: /home/rhaas/Cactus/par/static_tov.par Error: could not access simulation base directory /scratch/rhaas/simulations for reading and writing Aborting Simfactory. [137450 refs] }}} This happens each time I set up a fresh simfactory on a machine. It might be useful if simfactory would create the simulation base directory if it does not exist. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/649> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#816: include SphericalHarmonicReconASCII from incoming in PITTNULLCode -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: optional | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Christian Reisswig provided a copy of SphericalHarmonicReconASCII and alternative thorn that reads in CCE boundary data (similar SphericalHarmonicRecon) but supporting a wider variety of input file formats (HDF5 among them, irrespective of the name). Used by SpEC and Llama. There are no docs or test cases as of now. Test data would be welcome (SpEC, Llama or Cactus provided, I don't think it makes a difference). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/816> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #428: Forbid configuration names ending in -reconfig

#428: Forbid configuration names ending in -reconfig ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- I accidentally created a Cactus configuration with a name like "sim- reconfig". This confuses Cactus, because the command "make sim-reconfig" can then mean either to build the "sim-reconfig" configuration, or to reconfigure the "sim" configuration. Cactus should catch and forbid these cases. This is probably most cleanly handled by using a script instead of a Makefile to interpret the user commands. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/428> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #791: Output timer tree as XML

#791: Output timer tree as XML -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- The attached patch to Carpet adds a parameter (off by default) which outputs the timer tree from each process to an XML file in the output directory at the end of the run. The output looks like this: {{{ <timer name = "main"> 7.7702 <timer name = "CallFunction"> 0.000241 <timer name = "thorns"> 0.000233 <timer name = "CaKernel_FreeDevMem"> 0.000221 <timer name = "PostCall"> 2e-06 </timer> <timer name = "PreCall"> 1e-06 </timer> </timer> </timer> </timer> <timer name = "CarpetStartup"> 0.00982 <timer name = "AllocateGridHierarchy"> 5e-06 </timer> }}} An alternative schema would be to have the name and timer value as subelements; i.e. {{{ <timer> <name>main</name> <value>7.7702</value> <children> <timer> <name>CallFunction</name> <value<0.000241</name> ... </timer> }}} The <children> tag might not be necessary, but might make it easier to parse. Having one file per process is not ideal; we would like to add reductions across processes to give min, max, average, standard deviation etc, also for the standard output display. OK to commit as a work-in-progress? We can change the schema later if it turns out to be easier to deal with. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/791> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #727: Test output changes every time some tests are run

#727: Test output changes every time some tests are run -----------------------------------------------------------+---------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: Keywords: testsuites QuasiLocalMeasures IDAxiOddBrillBH | -----------------------------------------------------------+---------------- Each time a new run of the test suites is performed, the test output of IDAxiOddBrillBH and QuasiLocalMeasures changes a little. These changes are below the tolerances set in the test.ccl files, so the tests pass, but there should be no change at all when the tests are run on the same machine. An example of the difference from one test run to the next is shown at http://git.barrywardell.net/EinsteinToolkitTestResults.git/blobdiff/95fe088…. Another example, from QuasiLocalMeasures, is at http://git.barrywardell.net/EinsteinToolkitTestResults.git/blobdiff/95fe088… /qlm-ks-shifted/admbase::metric.average.asc. The only thorns to exhibit this behaviour are IDAxiOddBrillBH and QuasiLocalMeasures. All other test data remains unchanged from one test run to the next. Note that the two test runs will be performed with different executables, since a new configuration is created for each run. I think I remember testing that simply re-running the same executable resulted in the same test output. Is it possible that there are a small number of points which access uninitialised memory which changes on each run for these thorns? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/727> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #582: Semi-automatically split McLachlan's calculations

#582: Semi-automatically split McLachlan's calculations -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Split McLachlan's calculations semi-automatically in two ways: (a) by variable, so that e.g. dot[g] and dot[K] are calculated separately, and (b) by pattern, so that advection terms, dissipation, and "everything else" are calculated separately. Also introduce parameters to choose which routines are called at run time. This is somewhat a work in progress, in that the patch is good, but the API defined to split kernels is more complex and less failsafe than it should be. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/582> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit
