[Einstein Toolkit] #394: Testsuite log file should contain more information

#394: Testsuite log file should contain more information -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Keywords: testsuites | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- It is useful to look at the testsuite log file for information about how the tests were run. For example, which compiler was used, and with what compiler options. We need to balance this against providing information which will always change, making diffs hard to read. The most extreme case would be to output all make variables. Maybe better would be to output CC, CFLAGS, CXX, etc. Another option would be to parse these and say "intel compiler", "gcc", "pgi" etc. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/394> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1970: perl >= 5.26 dropping "." from @INC

#1970: perl >= 5.26 dropping "." from @INC ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: development version Keywords: backport | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- New version of perl will no longer include "." from {{{@INC}}} by default. This causes out perl code that uses "require 'lib/sbin/XXX.pl'" to fail. Since this will affect the release version a patch needs to be backported. See https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/08/msg00013.html Note that this is not Debian specific but affects all Perl packages. I will prepare a patch. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1970> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#1967: qc0_mclachlan.par example in 2016_05 produces outdated parameter warnings -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Running qc0_mclachlan.par from the par directory of a 2016_05 checkout I get: {{{ WARNING level 1 from host 127.0.0.1 process 0 while executing schedule bin CCTK_PARAMCHECK, routine ML_BSSN_Helper::ML_BSSN_ParamCheck in thorn ML_BSSN_Helper, file configs/sim/build/ML_BSSN_Helper/Parameters.c:157: -> Parameter ML_BSSN::my_initial_boundary_condition is outdated; please update the parameter file. Do not use this parameter, and set up initial boundary conditions as usual. }}} Since qc0_machlan.par is a typical "beginner's file" and our tutorial mentions it, we should update so that it does not produce warnings when run anymore. We should also I believe update the paramwarn message to be more helpful since likely the user did not know what the "usual way to set up initial boundary conditions" is, otherwise they'd have done so :-). Major as this should be be fixed for the next release. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1967> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1717: hwloc: lnuma & lltdl *really* required?

#1717: hwloc: lnuma & lltdl *really* required? -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: zachetie@… | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- I downloaded the ET devel version (ca. Nov 26) on my (ubuntu) laptop and compiled it, using gcc. I compiled to the linker stage, and the linker complained: ld: cannot find -lnuma ld: cannot find -lltdl I found references to these libraries in: configs/[buildname]/bindings/Configuration/Capabilities/make.HWLOC.defn After removing these references, the code compiled and seemed (on the surface) to run okay. Are these libraries really necessary? I ask because every time I need to install ET on a new machine, it would be more convenient if the step "apt-get install libnuma-dev libltdl-dev" were left out, particularly since reliable Internet access may not exist at that time. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1717> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1990: Symmetry thorn tests couple too many other thorns

#1990: Symmetry thorn tests couple too many other thorns -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: unset | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Keywords: | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- The test ReflectionSymmetry/KerrSchild-rotating-180-EE.par depends on initial data from KerrSchild and NoExcision (which includes solving an elliptic equation). This means that problems in either of those are caught by the symmetry thorn test. The symmetry thorn test should rely on as few other thorns as possible, and those should be as simple as possible. We need variables with nontrivial parities etc, but we could implement those in ReflectionSymmetry itself, or use McLachlan with simple initial data. I propose that these tests are decoupled from the complicated thorns. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1990> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

[Einstein Toolkit] #1980: NaNChecker: self-generate NaNs or test

#1980: NaNChecker: self-generate NaNs or test -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: ET_2016_11 Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Keywords: NaNChecker | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactusutils/pull-requests/10/rhaas-make- nans/diff implements a short helper routine to fill a grid function with NaNs for tests. It *also* changes the schedule so that schedule.ccl does no longer depend on STEERABLE=always parameters (either that or making the parameters STEERABLE=recover is required to ensure correct behaviour). Minor since it does not affect actual simulations (only the test) for the most part, should go into the release though. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1980> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#1884: provide support for multi-model runs in thorn MPI -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Keywords: MPI | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- The attached patch adds a very thin layer of code to ExternalLibraries/MPI to provide access to two communicators {{{MPI_Comm_World}}} and {{{MPI_Comm_Universe}}} which can be used for multi-model runs (or runs started via {{{MPI_Comm_Spawn}}}). The code does not itself split a communicator, it only provides routines to get and set the communicators. It supports C and F90 calls (and C++ calls through external C and call from F77 files since Cactus compiles those with at a F90 compiler). Documentation is provided in the tex file and in the grdoc comments. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1884> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit
