[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

#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

#1624: remove MOLDOESCOMPLEX from MoL -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: optional | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- MOLDOESCOMPLEX is an old #define in MoL, and seems to be unused for quite some time now. It also comes with the comment "even using it probably doesn't work" in the commit. I suggest to remove it (removing the code within). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1624> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1518: Parameter parser and CCTK_ParameterSet interpret leading zeros in numbers differently

#1518: Parameter parser and CCTK_ParameterSet interpret leading zeros in numbers differently --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: development version Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- the parameter parser allows things like: {{{ thorn::param1 = 011 thorn::param2 = 012.34 }}} in parameter files. For floating point values this is a bit unexpected but otherwise mostly harmless. For integers the situation is a bit more complex since in C a leading zero is used to indicate a octal number. And (worse) while the parameter file parser converts the string "011" to the number 11 the Cactus call CCTK_ParameterSet will convert it to 9. The difference is ultimately the difference between calling atof (Parser) and strtol (CCTK_ParameterSet). To avoid confusion it would likely be good to change CCTK_ParameterSet to behave the way the Parameter parser does. This is a change in behaviour compared to the pre-Piraha parser, however I suspect the number of users that actually used octal (or hexedecimal) notation in their parameter files is small. The change is to change {{{inval = strtol (value, &endptr, 0);}}} to {{{inval = strtol (value, &endptr, 10);}}} in line 2209 of src/main/Parameters.c and similar in line 2270. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1518> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1663: VisIT CarpetHDF5 plugin pseudocolor error

#1663: VisIT CarpetHDF5 plugin pseudocolor error ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: bruno.giacomazzo@… | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Other | Version: development version Keywords: visit | ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ This problem has been present since the CarpetHDF5 plugin for VisIt became part of the standard VisIt distribution and it is still present in the current version of VisIt (2.8). When Pseudocolor is used in log scale and Centering is set to Original or Nodal, not all the values of the plotted quantity are shown (in particular lower values are not plotted at all). This does not happen if one sets Centering to Zonal, which instead shows the correct values. I have attached a couple of images showing the problem (they show hydrobase::rho for a BNS run). I do not know what may be causing it, but it may cause serious errors when analyzing data with VisIt (since one may miss some of the information on the low value regions). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1663> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1635: hwloc requires a certain minimum version, but does not check for it

#1635: hwloc requires a certain minimum version, but does not check for it --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: ET_2014_11 Component: Cactus | Version: development version Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Currently, hwloc's configuration.sh searched for any hwloc library and uses it. However, it requires a pretty new version within some of its own files, which leads to build failure on, e.g. Debian stable systems. The attached patch uses pkg-config to get the version of the installed hwloc library and if that version is older than 1.6 (educated guess, but see http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2013-February/002860.html), builds the bundled version even if another version is installed (but too old). Note that this is done (intentionally) only if no library was specified, and the script was looking for it by itself. This allows users to specify something which will not be overwritten by this mechanism. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1635> 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
