#1737: upate CarpetHDF5 reader in VisIt
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:

Keywords: VisIt CarpetHDF5 |
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
Since the CarpetHDF5 reader
(https://svn.cactuscode.org/VizTools/CarpetHDF5) was included in VisIt's
main source code repo, we have not attempted to update that copy to the
most current version. The coding style in that branch matches the official
code but the patches do not apply on top of the official code due to
ordering issues as well as some minor new changes to code formatting in
the current (2.8.0) VisIt codebase.
Since then, I have collected a number of bugfixes/improvements that are
collected in various branches at https://bitbucket.org/rhaas80/carpethdf5
. It would be good to eventually try and get the for_VisIt branch
(https://bitbucket.org/rhaas80/carpethdf5/branch/for_VisIt) included in
the main source code repo again.
It contains some bug-fixes wrt how file metadata is cached, as well as
number of fixes to reduce memory footprint, number of open files (required
to work on large datasets on machines that limit the total number of open
files), some improvements to error reporting and robustness when dealing
with partially corrupted filesets as well as changes that allow a user to
combine multiple HDF5 files into a single "virtual" VisIt database using
.visit files.

In a CRL file, it should be possible to have only an AUTH_URL field and
omit the URL field, since it might be that there is no unauthenticated way
to access the repository (e.g. for private repositories). At the moment,
when I omit the URL field for a Git repository, the error message is:

#334: unsuccessful qsub not recognized / submit succeeds for finished simulation
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: knarf | Owner: mthomas
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version:
Keywords: |
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
python version:
I submitted a simulation 'sim submit' but the corresponding qsub failed
due to wrong numbers of procs/node (philip cluster). I changed the number
given on the command line and did a 'sim submit' again, this time
successful. Several things happend which I think could be done better:
- the unsuccessful qsub was not detected during the new submit - it
attempted a restart and didn't simply clean
the unsuccessful submit
- when trying the restart, it went ahead and queued the job, but this
later failed when run with "cannot rerun a restart that has been
finished". This could have been caught earlier - without the wait time in
the queue.

We should merge the "rewrite" branch of McLachlan.
To do before this merge:
- Remove helper thorn
- Add backward compatibility layer for parameters

#649: simfactory should create the "simulations" directory

when following the new users tutorial one gets:

This happens each time I set up a fresh simfactory on a machine. It might
be useful if simfactory would create the simulation base directory if it
does not exist.

#1645: simfactory should create exe directory

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Using virtual (--virtual) configuration one can wrap a Cactus config (or
at least the parts that simfactory cares about) around an existing
executable. Simfactory then copies the executable to exe/cactus_sim (or
whatever), however it assumes that exe already exists. Since exe is not
part of the Cactus checkout, simfactory needs to itself ensure that it
exists.

#1615: TOVSolver shares parameters from GRHydro
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version
Keywords: TOVSolver |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Zach Etienne was looking at TOVSolver to use it for a test case in
IllinoisGRMHD (and to compare to GRHydro). He found that it
Turns out all but one of the parameters that are shared with GRHydro are
unused in TOVSolver:
These need to be removed:
USES real rho_abs_min
USES real rho_rel_min
USES REAL initial_rho_abs_min
USES REAL initial_rho_rel_min
USES REAL initial_atmosphere_factor
and that the one shared parameter that is actually used is
GRHydro_rho_central.
My suggestion would to remove these dependencies so that the initial data
thorn can be used with other evolution thorns.

When sim submit -remote ... fails to queue a job because the allocation

(it is only hidden in the log file).
Could it be made to print an error message to screen?

#1579: GRHydro does not build on Blue Gene/Q
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: eschnett | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: Other | Version: development version
Keywords: |
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Some of the C++ source files in GRHydro do not build on a Blue Gene/Q with
IBM's compiler. The problem is that the compiler takes a very long time
(>8h) even without (sic!) optimization. "The usual" playing with compiler
options or changes to the source files had no effect.
I consider this to be a bug in the compiler. A work-around may be to
switch to Clang as C++ compiler.
