#1069: Create status page for services

Services (web server, repositories ect) might go down unnoticed or might
be available only from certain (local) sites. It would be nice to have
some kind of monitor regularly checking availability of Cactus/ET services
and reports if something doesn't work as expected.

#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?

#1008: Link error when building a configuration containing only MPI thorn
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version:
Keywords: |
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
If I create a thornlist containing just
ExternalLibraries/MPI
the configuration will compile but it won't link. The linker errors
indicate that the "Cactus" virtual thorn is using MPI symbols which are
not available. The mpi library is not on the linker command line, nor in
LIBS. LIBS is set from MPI_LIBS in make.link, but MPI_LIBS is empty.
MPI_LIBS is picked up from the MPI configure.sh script, and it is inserted
into bindings/Configuration/Capabilities/make.MPI.defn. This is picked up
by bindings/Configuration/Thorns/make.Cactus.defn, but I don't think that
this file is used by anything. If I create a new empty thorn which uses
the MPI capability, the executable is linked successfully. I think that
nothing is loading the make.Cactus.defn definitions for the Cactus virtual
thorn.
This subtle bug might have other effects so it should probably be fixed.

I specified a thorn list located in the main Cactus directory.
GetComponents overwrote this thorn list with its own thorn list (the one
it generates automatically).

#797: N13CarpetRegrid211snap_coarseE does not hold after being enforced in cell
centering
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner: eschnett
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: Carpet | Version:
Keywords: |
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
I have a run (on Caltech's shc and on lonestar) which runs fine for about
300M or so and then fails with a property enforcement error inside of
CarpetRegrid.
Attached please find stdout with Carpet::veryverbose=yes,
CarpetRegrid2::veryverbose=yes as well as the parameter file.
It takes about 1hr to reproduce this starting from the checkpoints on shc.
Most of this time is IO (the checkpoint is iteration 133120 failure occurs
at preregrid in iteration 133185).
Turning off cell centering makes the error go away. Turning on refluxing
makes the run fails (much) earlier with a boxes not contained error (re-
running this on shc right now, the XSEDE clusters are just too slow).
In case you have access to shc (or zwicky) and would look at the actual
output files, the path is:
/panfs/ds06/sxs/rhaas/cactus/simulations/noreflux/output-0003

We should move the CactusExternal thorns to archive. They cause trouble

#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).

#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? (with announcement to the mailing list)
