[Einstein Toolkit] #445: Make Carpet timers hierarchical

#445: Make Carpet timers hierarchical -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- With the current flat structure of timers in Carpet, it is difficult to identify which timers are contained in which other timers, and hence to avoid double-counting when adding up the times. This series of patches modifies the timer infrastructure in Carpet to generate a tree of timers where the hierarchy reflects the call-graph of the program. This makes it much easier to interpret the timer output than with the previous flat structure, where it was not possible to see which timers "contained" which others. More implementation details are given at the top of TimerNode.hh. Note that the Timer source and header files have been renamed as CactusTimer and a new Timer file and object has been created. This is because the Timer object now only provides a wrapper around the Cactus timer mechanism which was contained in the old Timer object. New parameters output_initialise_timer_tree and output_timer_tree_every control output of a new "timer tree diagram" to standard output for the Initialise and Evolve timer trees respectively. These diagrams indicate: 1. the value of each timer; 2. the percentage of the given tree taken by each timer; 3. which timers are contained in which other timers; 4. any untimed code for any timer which takes more than 1% of the tree time. Making the timers hierarchical means that the ad-hoc methods used before to identify the hierarchy (such as naming the timer Evolve::Sync, for example, to indicate that the Sync timer was a child of the Evolve timer) are no longer necessary and have been removed. Additionally, the construction of timers in a "dynamic" manner is now handled automatically for all timers, so special-case code is no longer needed and has been removed. Additionally some previously-untimed parts of the code are now timed, and timer names have been made more consistent in some places. There is code in the patches to output the entire timer tree as an XML file, but it is not enabled. Ideally the timer tree printed to standard output would contain reductions across processes, but at the moment it contains only the timer from the current process. The attached "tree-example.txt" file shows an example of the timer tree that is printed for a simulation using the qc0-mclachlan parameter file from the Einstein Toolkit. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/445> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#1409: cleanup Avec in HydroBase -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: ET_2013_11 Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- As discussed at the dev-workshop in summer 2013, Avec shouldn't be defined in HydroBase, but move to the evolution thorn. In particular, the current dev-version of HydroBase contains (will in a few hours) contain two different versions of it, depending on where it is defined. The needs to be cleaned up before the next release. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1409> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#1210: CarpetIOASCII should not write column names info each iteration --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Currently, CarpetIOASCII writes the column names header each iteration, leading to bloated output - easily double the size of what should suffice. Once after file creation would be much better. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1210> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1399: add evolution method "stationary" to ADMBase

#1399: add evolution method "stationary" to ADMBase -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Keywords: ADMBase | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- This method is similar to "static" in that it can be used for Cowling runs, it differs from "static" in that it schedules the initial data routine after any grid changes and does not apply boundary conditions or SYNC calls. It can thus be used if one can compute the required metric/shift/lapse easily in a pointwise manner and would like to have exact (non-prolongated) data in the buffer zones. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1399> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1302: Reduce time spent in deciding not to do output.

#1302: Reduce time spent in deciding not to do output. --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: diener | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: development version Keywords: performance optimization | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I noticed, during some scaling tests, that for my code a significant amount of time was spent by CarpetIOASCII, even though I only had it activated and didn't actually request any output. The reason is that in order to figure out whether to do output or not, there is a loop over all grid variables and a routine (TimeToOutput) is called. In this routine there is a check if the out_dir and out_vars parameters have been steered and if so update some internal data structures. It should be sufficient to do this before entering the loop over grid variables. The same issue is present in CarpetIOScalar and CarpetIOHDF5. The attached patches for CarpetIOASCII, CarpetIOScalar and CarpetIOHDF5 moves this check outside of the loop over grid variables and in addition bypasses the loop completely if the out_vars parameter string is the empty string. Note that the code where I noticed this problem uses large vectors of 1D grid arrays, and it turns out that Cactus counts each vector element as a distinct grid variables and the length of the loop over grid variables in my case was close to 100.000, which might explain why nobody has noticed this before. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1302> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#1207: Einstein toolkit sites with invalid security certificates -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit website | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- https://einsteintoolkit.org exists but has an invalid security certificate (http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=einsteintoolkit.org). I don't think we need SSL/TLS on this server. It should either be disabled or a valid certificate used. The same applies to https://cactuscode.org (http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl- checker.html#hostname=cactuscode.org). Note that Frank's page (http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~knarf/cgi-bin/monitor.cgi) reports these certificates as self-signed; they are also expired. Self- signed certificates on public websites are bad: they encourage people to click through the warnings. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1207> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1378: provide equivalent of fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", msg) in Fortran

#1378: provide equivalent of fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", msg) in Fortran -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: development version Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Currently to write out multi-line error messages in Fortran we use multiple calls to CCTK_WARN(1, warnline) followed possibly by a CCTK_ERROR(errline). Each of the level 1 warnings (given certain settings of the Cactus parameters) prints the source file location and other information to screen, thus cluttering the error output. A typical error message might look like this: {{{ WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 386 of GRHydro_Prim2Con.F90): -> EOS error in prim2con_hot: WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 388 of GRHydro_Prim2Con.F90): -> 64897 22 37 31 -1.440000E+00 -8.496000E+01 -1.296000E+01 8.595485E+01 WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 390 of GRHydro_Prim2Con.F90): -> 1.228064E-09 -8.644951E-03 -5.842300E-01 4.789413E-01 WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 392 of GRHydro_Prim2Con.F90): -> code: 106 WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 394 of GRHydro_Prim2Con.F90): -> reflevel: 0 WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 386 of GRHydro_Prim2Con.F90): -> EOS error in prim2con_hot: WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 388 of GRHydro_Prim2Con.F90): -> 64897 23 37 31 1.440000E+00 -8.496000E+01 -1.296000E+01 8.595485E+01 WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 390 of GRHydro_Prim2Con.F90): -> 1.227982E-09 -8.644755E-03 -5.798389E-01 4.789407E-01 WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 392 of GRHydro_Prim2Con.F90): -> code: 106 WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 394 of GRHydro_Prim2Con.F90): -> reflevel: 0 WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 166 of GRHydro_Eigenproblem.F90): -> EOS ERROR in eigenvalues_hot WARNING level 1 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 168 of GRHydro_Eigenproblem.F90): -> keyerr: 668 keytemp: 0 WARNING level 0 in thorn GRHydro processor 179 host nid03278 (line 170 of GRHydro_Eigenproblem.F90): -> 1.228064E-09 -8.644951E-03 -5.842300E-01 4.789413E-01 5.668696E-04 cactus_sim: Cactus/arrangements/Carpet/Carpet/src/helpers.cc:314: int Carpet::Abort(const cGH*, int): Assertion `0' failed. Rank 179 with PID 13388 received signal 6 }}} with errors from multiple MPI processes possibly intersecting each other. It would be useful to provide a subroutine equivalent to {{{ subroutine CCTK_WARN_SHORT(msg) character*(*) :: msg write (stderr,'(a)') msg end subroutine }}} (name is up for discussion) that outputs only "msg" to stderr (and the warning listener registered in the flesh) without prepending the file information output. A similar routine might be offered for C (in WARN and VWarn flavors) both for symmetry reasons and to have the message pass the warning listeners, though in C one can usually get away with a single CCTK_VWarn and a very long format string. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1378> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#590: McLachlan should allow other thorns to set the gauge -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: bmundim | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- The parameters lapse_evolution_method and shift_evolution_method are usually set to ML_BSSN in McLachlan. However they are never checked in the code. McLachlan indeed seems to ignore their values and overwrite whatever the values of lapse or shift set elsewhere, preventing therefore other thorns from setting them differently. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/590> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit
