to the then current release it would be good if we were to provide a
"current release" branch of the ET which always points to the head of the
current release branch/tag. Ie right now it would be identical to 2016_05.

This is with the osx-mountain-lion-macports-gcc.cfg optionlist, and "gcc-

I have to disable this thorn in my thornlist (or machine definition file)

#1906: CarpetRegrid2: possible off-by-one error when using regrid_every parameter
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: bmundim | Owner: eschnett
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: Carpet | Version: development version
Keywords: CarpetRegrid2 |
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
I was working on a par file for a quick regridding test and found out an
unexpected behaviour regarding regridding. Basically I want a par file
with a few iterations such that it adds a refinement level every 4
iterations for example. I set the following parameters then:
{{{
CarpetRegrid2::add_levels_automatically = "yes"
CarpetRegrid2::regrid_every = 4
}}}
for a grid structure as such:
{{{
Cactus::cctk_itlast = 10
CoordBase::xmin = -0.5
CoordBase::ymin = -0.5
CoordBase::zmin = -0.5
CoordBase::xmax = 0.5
CoordBase::ymax = 0.5
CoordBase::zmax = 0.5
CoordBase::ncells_x = 16
CoordBase::ncells_y = 16
CoordBase::ncells_z = 16
Carpet::max_refinement_levels = 3
CarpetRegrid2::num_centres = 1
CarpetRegrid2::active_1 = "yes"
CarpetRegrid2::num_levels_1 = 1
CarpetRegrid2::radius_1[1] = 0.12
CarpetRegrid2::radius_1[2] = 0.04
}}}
I was expecting then regridding to happen at iterations 4 and 8, however
if you run the attached par file, a modification of balsara shocktube
test, you see that the level additions actually happen at iterations 5 and
9 instead:
{{{
...
INFO (CarpetRegrid2): Increasing number of levels of centre 1 to 2 (it=5)
...
INFO (CarpetRegrid2): Increasing number of levels of centre 1 to 3 (it=9)
}}}
which is apparently an off-by-one kind of error. I tracked down the code
producing these messages and it comes from function
CarpetRegrid2_RegridMaps at CarpetRegrid2/src/regrid.cc, lines 745 to 747.
In order for that piece of code to execute we do have to have do_recompose
set to true. Strangely the condition to set it, compares the previous
iteration to the regrid_every parameter on line 707 of the same file:
{{{
(cctk_iteration - 1) % regrid_every == 0
}}}
Investigating if this actually makes sense I was led to what I think it
might be the source of the problem on line 58 of Carpet/src/Evolve.cc.
Time and iteration is advanced before calling CallRegrid. Skimming over
the AdvanceTime routine it is not clear to me that it really needs to be
called before CallRegrid. If it is really needed then why the condition to
regrid or not is not taken on the current updated iteration as in:
{{{
cctk_iteration % regrid_every == 0
}}}
Thanks,
Bruno

When encountering a WHILE loop inside CCTK_ANALYSIS, Cactus simply hangs.
I have created a simple thorn, ScheduleTester, that reproduces this
problem 100% of the time. The thorn only takes as input the number of
iterations desired in the WHILE loop. I have attached this thorn, as well
as example .par and ThornList files to this ticket.
This problem is verified to exist within 2015_05 as well as 2014_11 ET
releases. I have not tried past releases.

SimFactory has an incomplete user guide in the doc/userguide directory.
This is developed using Sphinx, which is a Python framework for writing
documentation. You need to install sphinx to generate this documentation.
This can be done using something similar to the following:
export PYTHONPATH=/home/ianhin/software/python
export PATH=/home/ianhin/software/python/:$PATH
hash -r
easy_install --install-dir ~/software/python sphinx
Then go into the simfactory/doc/userguide directory and type:
./autogen
make html
to generate HTML documentation (type just "make" to see the other possible
targets like PDF etc).
This should be regenerated on any commit to the SimFactory/doc/userguide
directory and copied to a web-accessible location for inclusion on
simfactory.org.

Many of the ET tickets have not seen much attention recently or at all.
We should have a session where we run though all the tickets and make sure
that their priorities/state etc are correct. Once we have done this, we
should come up with a strategy for keeping the tickets under control. In
the process, we should decide what is meant by the different ticket
priorities, and whether we need to add additional priorities or states to
allow us to more effectively manage the tickets.

-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
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

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

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.

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.

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.
