#1059: simfactory silent error

Reporter: anonymous | Owner: eschnett

Priority: optional | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version:
Keywords: simfactory error message |
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
When sim submit -remote ... fails to queue a job because the allocation
has been overdrawn, simfactory does not print any error message to screen
(it is only hidden in the log file).
Could it be made to print an error message to screen?

We should move pthreads support to ExternalLibraries (or to the flesh).
I have asked CCT to create the respective repository.

#816: include SphericalHarmonicReconASCII from incoming in PITTNULLCode

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).

#997: problem in appending output after recovery

Component: Carpet | Version:

----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
I have a problem in appending output files from Carpet. I used to produce
3d HDF5 output of grid variables
and write the output in the same directory also after recovery from
checkpoint. The new output was automatically
appended to the existing one. Now I am producing h5 output also on 2D
slices but in this case the output is overwritten
so I lost the data for all but the last recovery.

#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.

#1039: Web-based documentation should be automatically updated
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: EinsteinToolkit website | Version:
Keywords: Documentation |
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
We have documentation for Cactus and the ET on their respective websites.
This should be updated automatically when the source is changed, so it is
never out of date. There should be documentation for the current release
as well as the current development version.
There is one technical problem standing in the way of this. The system
should be automated, and it needs to have commit rights to a specific
directory in the SVN repository hosting the files. SVN accounts for CCT
machines tend to be the same as CCT login accounts, so we don't want to
store the username and password. I think the best solution is to create
an SVN account specifically for the documentation build system which is
not tied to a CCT login account. This account would be given commit
access to just the directories necessary.
The "checkout, build doc, commit" script should be kept in version control
somewhere, and a machine should be chosen on which to run it. It could be
run regularly, or just in response to commits.

#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.

#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?

#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.
