#1170: ExtrenalLibraries handle XXX_DIR XXX_INC_DIRS and XXX_LIB_DIRS
incosistently
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:

Keywords: ExternalLibraries |
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
This is a companion ticket to #1006.
Different thorns (eg. MPI and HDF5 and LAPACK) handle XXX_DIR and
XXX_INC_DIRS etc differently. MPI for example sets the include path to
$MPI_DIR/include if MPI_INC_DIRS is not explicitly set and to MPI_INC_DIRS
if it is set. HDF5 has no HDF5_INC_DIRS option and always sets the include
path to HDF5_DIR/include. LAPACK has not INC_DIRS option and sets the
linker path to LAPACK_DIR while the other two thorns set it to XXX_DIR/lib
(unless overridden by MPI_LIB_DIRS in the case of MPI).
I would be good to present a uniform set of option for all these thorns.

#1769: External libraries: moving towards multiarch library directory structure
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: bmundim | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: ET_2015_05
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version
Keywords: ExternalLibraries HDF5 Multiarch |
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Several Linux distributions have already started to move their libraries
to a new directory structure that reflects the target architecture and
allows the installation of packages from multiple architectures in the
same system. The following links provide more details of this change:
{{{
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/TheCaseForMultiarchhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec
}}}
This change potentially affects several of external library scripts
shipped with ET. For example the HDF5/src/detect.sh script is not able to
detect the hdf5 libraries installed in the directory /usr/lib/x86_64
-linux-gnu for Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS.
I have attached a simple patch to remedy this issue and open a discussion
on the best way to proceed here. This patch does depend on the
availability of gcc on the system. It currently works fine for me, but we
might need a better solution for systems without gcc.

#1474: compile ExternalLibraries with other thorns rather than when CST runs
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version: development version
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Compiling external libraries takes a long time by now. Currently this
happens very early in the compilation phase, before the other thorns are
compiled.
It would be better if the compilation happened at the same time as that of
other thorns.
This will entail splitting the configuration ie. detecting whether to
build the included source or use a system wide copy from the compilation,
most likely either using Cactus makefile variables or temporary files to
transfer the decisions from the configuration stage to the build stage.

#1946: sim setup should create a section for the current machine
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version: development version
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
When calling sim setup on a machine in the machine data base (eg
bluewaters in my case) it it still creates only a {{{[default]}}} section
in defs.local.ini which means that the account information and possibly
non-default sourcebasedir are not used for bluewaters leading to hard to
understand error messages later on.
I would thus like to suggest to change sim setup such that instead (or in
addition to) a "[default]" section it creates a section for the detected
machine if it already knows this machine.

#2050: cctk_startupxxx is a valid group
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------

Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: unset | Milestone:
Component: Other | Version: development version

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Currently, the "at" keyword in the schedule.ccl file is supposed to report
an error if one is scheduling in a group that is not present at startup.
It detects this with a regexp, but the regexp does not include boundaries.
As such cctk_startupxxx is considered valid.
In addition, the new parser is failing to report a CST error for this
violation regardless of group name.
The attached patch to the schedule parser fixes both defects.

#1995: McLachlan constraint tests fail
---------------------------------------------------------------+------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: ET_2016_11
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version
Keywords: McLachlan constraints tests compiler optimization |
---------------------------------------------------------------+------------
Several tests fail on several machines, and the cause seems to be the
constraints calculated by McLachlan. Peter is looking into this. We see
test failures in the thorns Dissipation and RotatingSymmetry90/180.
Indications are that most failures happen with Intel 15, but some are
apparently also seen with Intel 16, while others with Intel 16 seem to
work fine. Optimization -O1 instead of -O2 seems to prevent the problem,
but is not a viable workaround. A simple 'print' statement in the affected
(auto-generated) code also makes the problem disappear. Running using one
MPI process and one openMP thread reproduces the problem. valgrind does
not find anything obvious pointing to memory mess-up.

#2029: GW150914 example should be updated to work with the Einstein Toolkit
thornlist
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: optional | Milestone:
Component: Other | Version: development version
Keywords: gallery |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
The GW150914 example currently uses its own thornlist, because Llama was
not part of the ET when it was created. Llama has now been added to the
ET. The GW150914 thornlist uses WaveExtractCPM and ADMConstraints. These
can probably be removed, for the sake of having a parameter file which
works with the ET thornlist. ADMConstraints can be replaced with
ML_ADMConstraints. WaveExtractCPM is an "in-development" code which has
not been extensively tested. It gives the GW strain directly from
Schwarzschild perturbation theory, without needing to go via fixed-
frequency integration of Psi4, so is good for quick plots. However, it
seems to give worse results than Psi4 for the ringdown, and possibly has
bugs in some of the l > 2 modes, so I don't think it is ready for
inclusion in the toolkit just yet.

#1725: Disable Fortran 77 support in Cactus

There are no "Fortran 77" compilers any more. Cactus currently
distinguishes between FCODE and F90CODE (pure Fortran 77, and Fortran 90).
The pure Fortran 77 code has less argument checking etc. and is less safe,
and is not needed any more. It should be removed, both from the makefile
system as well as from the CST that auto-generates code.
