the user guide does not explain how to use ENV in parfiles (at least grep
ENV doc/UsersGuide/*.tex does not find anything) nor do the peg files in
src/piraha/peg contain.

#1759: need tensorparity=-1 for WeylScal4::curvIi_group and curvJi_group
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
Reporter: physicsbeany@… | Owner: Bernard Kelly
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: ET_2014_11
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version
Keywords: weylscal4, parity |
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
The WeylScal4 gridfunctions curvIi and curvJi are pesudoscalars with the
same parity properties as Psi2r and Psi2i. However, they're currently
assigned no tensorparity attribute, so they're treated as scalars.
As a result, for a z-aligned Kerr BH (EinsteinInitialData/IDAnalyticBH)
evolved with reflection symmetry across the x-y plane, an interpolation of
curvIi to a coordinate sphere will yield different values for the z<0
points than the same data on a full grid.
Can we set "tensorparity=-1" for both these groups, to fix this issue?

#382: SimFactory home directory on Kraken is too specific

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
The mdb entry for Kraken in SimFactory has
'sourcebasedir' => '/nics/b/home/@USER@',
My home directory is
'/nics/d/home/@USER@'
Either we could leave the source base dir as unset to force the user to
set it, or we could automatically detect the location of the user's home
directory (better).

#1850: Severe performance problem on Stampede
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version: development version
Keywords: |
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
With the ET_2015_11 release, there is a severe performance problem on
Stampede. This is when hwloc and SystemTopology are not activated.
Activating these thorns causes simulations to run 8 times faster. This
suggests that the affinity settings in simfactory for stampede are wrong.
stampede-mvapich2.run has
{{{
export KMP_AFFINITY=norespect,compact # verbose
}}}
Is this correct? Looking at the output of "top", we see the expected 16
threads, but each is running at only 50%. There is no migration between
cores, as far as we can tell. This 50% should be 100%, and this doesn't
explain the factor of 8 slowdown, but it shows that there is something
wrong.

#960: Dissipation thorn schedules LOCAL routines after GLOBAL ones
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version:
Keywords: Dissipation and SphericalSurface |
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Dissipation currently contains a schedule item {{{
SCHEDULE setup_epsdis AT cctk_poststep after SphericalSurface_HasBeenSet
{
LANG: C
SYNC: epsdisA_group
} "Setup spatially varying dissipation"
}}}
However SphericalSurface_HasBeenSet is AFTER SphericalSurface_Set which is
a GLOBAL routine. Since GLOBAL routines run last in POSTSTEP (which is in
EVOL) the AFTER modifier is ignored for all but the last (finest)
refinement level. This can lead to the wrong surface shape to be used by
the local routines.
It might actually make sense to teach the flesh about GLOBAL/LOCAL etc and
refuse AFTER/BEFORE statements that span different modes. This of course
depends on how much work this is and if we expect the dependency and task
based scheduler to be finished soon and if there are legitimate uses for
AFTER/BEFORE to span modes.

#1851: HDF5 won't configure on Fedora
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: sbrandt | Owner:

Priority: unset | Milestone:

The problem is that there's no way to tell it the correct place to look
for H5pubconf.h (which is /usr/include/mpich-x86_64).
There is an HDF5_INC_DIRS variable, but it's not exposed through
configuration.ccl. Even if it's added, it gets overwritten by
set_make_vars.

#1595: Is {{{*)}}} allowed as upper boundary for a parameter range?
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: eschnett | Owner:

I sometimes see these warnings when Cactus starts:
{{{
WARNING[L1,P0] (Cactus): Invalid end of real-valued parameter range; range
descriptor is "(0.0 : *)" (value is 1)
}}}
Presumably the warning depends on which thorns are active.
This warning looks as if the syntax {{{*)}}} was accepted by the CST when
parsing a param.ccl file, but was later not recognized by the flesh when
checking a parameter value against this range. (The flesh uses HUGE_VAL as
fallback, which happens to be correct in this case.)

#1842: clang-format options not valid for versions <=3.5
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: knarf | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: unset | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version: development version
Keywords: |
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
The current .clang-format file is not valid for clang-format versions 3.5
and below. The attached patch would 'fix' this by removing key words not
known in version 3.5, but still wouldn't work for versions below that. I
do not suggest to apply the patch - it should just show that this is quite
some number.
Looking at the .clang-format file it seems that it does not use one of the
pre-defined styles, but rather creates it's own (even if it is based on
one given the comment in the file). I wonder if all of this is really
necessary, or if we could not simply use one of the pre-defined styles,
possibly with a few changes that work across clang-format versions.

#584: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version:
Keywords: |
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
After failing to check out a thornlist (the current einsteintoolkit.th)
the automated build and test system re-runs GetComponents with --update.
On 27-Sep-2011, this gave the error:
{{{
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
./GetComponents line 2514.
}}}
This line seems to be
{{{
$url = "(".$component{"URL"}.")|(".$component{"AUTH_URL"}.")";
}}}
Is the problem that SimFactory doesn't have an AUTH_URL?
I'm attaching the log of the testsuite script. I don't know if the error
is serious or not, since the checkout has already failed.
