[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

[Einstein Toolkit] #773: McLachlan dissipation should be disabled by default

#773: McLachlan dissipation should be disabled by default -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Other | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- In the current version of McLachlan, the parameter apply_dissipation is set to "always" by default. The corresponding "epsdiss" is set to 0 by default. The dissipation calculation in McLachlan is expensive due to the way that it iterates over variables. Use of the Dissipation thorn or similar is usually much faster. I had not realised that apply_dissipation was "always" by default. I think it should be "never". OK to change?

#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

[Einstein Toolkit] #412: Split Appendices

#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] #704: Carpet complains about lack of mpi after ExternalLibraries/OpenMPI is built

#704: Carpet complains about lack of mpi after ExternalLibraries/OpenMPI is built ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: bmundim | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ I was able to compile ExternalLibraries/OpenMPI successfully, but the Cactus compilation stops afterwards with the message: /home/bruno/tmp/einstein_dev_maxwell/Cactus/arrangements/Carpet/CarpetLib/src/make.configuration.defn:5: *** Configuration error: The Carpet thorns require MPI. Please configure with MPI, or remove the Carpet thorns from the ThornList.. Stop. make: *** [einstein] Error 2 I indicated in my configuration file the following options: OPENMPI_DIR = BUILD OPENMPI_INSTALL_DIR = /home/bruno/local/gcc4.6.1/openmpi-1.5.4 I have then tried to indicate in my config file these extra options after the library was built (and the rest of Cactus compilation stopped): OPENMPI_DIR = /home/bruno/local/gcc4.6.1/openmpi-1.5.4 OPENMPI_INC_DIRS = /home/bruno/local/gcc4.6.1/openmpi-1.5.4/include OPENMPI_LIB_DIRS = /home/bruno/local/gcc4.6.1/openmpi-1.5.4/lib The config-info file does reflect these choices afterwards, and apparently the flag indicating the presence of mpi library, HAVE_MPI, was set correctly at ~/Cactus/configs/einstein/bindings/Configuration/Capabilities: grep -i have_mpi * cctki_MPI.h:#define HAVE_MPI 1 make.MPI.defn:HAVE_MPI = 1 however since I didn't use the old mechanism to tell Cactus about MPI, the ~/Cactus/configs/einstein/config-data/make.extra.defn doesn't have anything indicating the presence of mpi library there. It seems to me a compilation order issue. Somehow HAVE_MPI definition is coming after Carpet compilation, triggering this error then. Does anyone have any idea where I should look at in order to fix this problem? Thanks, Bruno. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/704> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #918: Usage of appendix in both UsersGuide and ReferenceManual

#918: Usage of appendix in both UsersGuide and ReferenceManual -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: ET_2012_11 Component: Cactus | Version: development version Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- The usage of the appendix of the UsersGuide inside the ReferenceManual led to a lot of internal references being commented out. This probably happened when UsersGuide and ReferenceManual had been divided, but it means that currently a lot of useful information is missing. In #885 there is agreement that the best solution would be to have the appendix included only by one of the two documents, and to restore references as much as possible. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/918> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit
