#1211: CarpetIOScalar should write file info for restart files --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Currently Carpet doesn't write file info for files created by a restarted simulation (from a checkpoint, writing into a new file). It should instead write the header if it created the file - which means it need to check whether it appends or created the file new. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1211> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1282: Enable HDF5 compression by default in Carpet

#1282: Enable HDF5 compression by default in Carpet -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- The current default for CarpetIOHDF5::compression_level is 0 (no compression). I have been using compression in most of my HDF5 files for years, and have never run into any problem. CPUs are typically much faster than storage nowadays. I propose that the compression level should default to 9. This would affect output and checkpoint files, and could lead to huge space savings. Apart from the checkpoint files being written and read quicker and taking less disk space, the user should not notice, as the HDF5 library handles compression transparently. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1282> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1361: disable hyperthreading in loopcontrol by default

#1361: disable hyperthreading in loopcontrol by default -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: Keywords: LoopControl | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- when running with both openmp and sufficiently many threads that hyperthreading threads are used, many tests using LoopControl (Cartoon, RotatingSymmety180, RotatingSymmetry90) fail. This can be tracked down to disabling hyperthreading support in LoopControl (ie. turning of hyperthreading makes things work). In particular on bethe with smt and 8 physical cores: The Cartoon/test_cartoon_2.par test shows differences from the recorded results when run with 16 threads (but not with 8 threads). If I then go ahead and disable OMP in all ML source files but ML_BSSN_enforce *and* comment out the #include "loopcontrol.h", then the difference goes away. Adding back #include "loopcontrol.h" brings back the error. Some further experimenting with LoopControl's options shows that indeed the use_smt_threads option is what causes problems. If I turn it off things work fine even with a vanilla source tree. Otherwise relative differences are on the order 1e-7 and absolute 1e-11 (in momx_z_[2][2].xg). Without smt the results are identical to the stored values. The issue only occurs in combination of OpenMP, vectorization and hyperthreading. The issue is independent of the compiler (both intel 13 and gcc 4.4 show the same behaviour), and vectorization (sse2) and many threads (up to 4 times the number of physical cores) works fine on non-smt machines. I propose to disable LoopControl::use_smt_threads by default. Note that we cannot completely remove it since apparently for Vesta (a Blue Gene/Q) smt is required to get and multi-threading at all. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1361> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #997: problem in appending output after recovery

#997: problem in appending output after recovery ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: corvino.giovanni@… | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Keywords: | ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- 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. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/997> 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] #1039: Web-based documentation should be automatically updated

#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. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1039> 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
