[Einstein Toolkit] #1804: Provide an Einstein Toolkit User Guide

#1804: Provide an Einstein Toolkit User Guide -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Other | Version: development version Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- We currently have documentation for individual thorns, but there is no documentation for the toolkit as a whole, describing how best to accomplish certain tasks. The [http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.3344 Einstein Toolkit paper] is a good starting point, but it is a static document, and is not quite at the level of documentation. I propose to take the paper and convert it into a user guide for the ET. It should not replicate detailed information already available in thorn documentation (rather it should link to it), but should provide a high level overview. It should also contain best practices for working with the ET. This would be the first point of reference for new users of the toolkit. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1804> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

#2046: list of ET members out of date -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit website | Version: development version Keywords: | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- The current list of ET members on http://einsteintoolkit.org/members.html is out of date (mostly I guess because there is no way to update one's information). Eg looking at http://einsteintoolkit.org/members.html Charalampos Markakis would be at Southampton (he has been at NCSA since 2016), Philipp Moesta would be at Caltech (he has been in Berkeley for a couple years now). Tanja Bode is no longer at Tuebingen but at UCSC etc etc. My suggestion would be to contact all persons listed for their current institution and remove those that do not respond within a month. For future registration I suggest that we ask for an email address and ping the addresses once a year, removing stale ones. We should also include a paragraph to contact maintainers(a)einsteintoolkit.org to update ones affiliation in any email send out along with the registration. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/2046> Einstein Toolkit <http://einsteintoolkit.org> The Einstein Toolkit

chance of having LSU update their webserver so that it offer tls 1.2 (around since August 2008)?

[Einstein Toolkit] #2064: Add GiRaFFE to the Einstein Toolkit
by Einstein Toolkit 19 Nov '18

#2064: Add GiRaFFE to the Einstein Toolkit -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: zachetie@… | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: unset | Milestone: Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version Keywords: GiRaFFE, GRFFE, IllinoisGRMHD | -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- We (the authors of GiRaFFE) hereby request that GiRaFFE be added to the Einstein Toolkit. In short, GiRaFFE is the first open source, dynamical- spacetime code for modeling plasma flows in general relativistic force- free electrodynamics (GRFFE). It will be the best code in the Toolkit for modeling black hole and neutron star magnetospheres, as these magnetically-dominated regions are best modeled numerically by a GRFFE code (GRMHD codes break down when modeling very highly magnetized plasmas). Here is the commit ID for code reviewer comments: https://bitbucket.org/zach_etienne/wvuthorns/commits/ca2aab4ac66b404cddc6a3… Here is the original release announcement to the mailing list, including link to the code release paper: We are pleased to announce the public release of GiRaFFE, an open-source General Relativistic Force-Free Electrodynamics (GRFFE) code for dynamical spacetimes. -= Code Release Paper =- Our code release paper--including a full description of the GiRaFFE code, a discussion of potential applications of GiRaFFE, and code validation test results--has been uploaded to the arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.00599 . -= Executive Summary =- GiRaFFE adopts the strategy pioneered by McKinney [1] and modified by Paschalidis and Shapiro [2] to convert a general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) code into a GRFFE code. In short, GiRaFFE exists as an extensive modification to IllinoisGRMHD [3]. Both GiRaFFE and IllinoisGRMHD leverage the Einstein Toolkit’s highly-scalable infrastructure [4,5] to make possible large-scale simulations of magnetized plasmas in strong, dynamical spacetimes on adaptive-mesh refinement (AMR) grids. As you are aware, IllinoisGRMHD is an open-source rewrite of the Illinois Numerical Relativity Group's GRMHD code. GiRaFFE, on the other hand, is not based on any existing GRFFE code and is designed only to solve the equations of GRFFE in the context of fixed or dynamically-generated spacetimes. GiRaFFE has passed a large suite of GRFFE code validation tests passed by other state-of-the-art GRFFE codes, leading us to conclude that GiRaFFE is now ready for large-scale, state-of-the-art GRFFE simulations in dynamical spacetimes. -= New Thorns for the Einstein Toolkit =- All GiRaFFE thorns are listed below. Next to the name of each thorn, we include the number of lines of code to highlight the fact that GiRaFFE is quite compact and designed to be welcoming to new users. In addition, the comment-to-line-of-code ratio is very nearly 50%, and the code release paper provides a clean, broad-brush overview of the formalism and algorithms adopted. To become acquainted with any given thorn, first take a look at its README file. * GiRaFFE (~1,600 lines of code): Solves the GRFFE equations in the formalism of Paschalidis & Shapiro [2] using the same reconstruction (PPM) and staggered vector potential methods as IllinoisGRMHD. * GiRaFFEfood (~1,300 lines of code): Code validation initial data and basic diagnostics. Contains Five 1D tests in flat spacetime (fast wave, Alfvén wave, degenerate Alfvén wave, "three-wave", FFE breakdown), One 3D test in flat spacetime (aligned rotator), and Three 3D tests in curved spacetimes ("Exact Wald" solution, "Magnetospheric Wald" solution, and split monopole). * ShiftedKerrSchild (~230 lines of code): Sets up all 3+1 quantities for a Kerr-Schild spacetime with an arbitrary radial shift, to mitigate effects of extreme spacetime curvature near r_{KS}=0. See Appendix of code release paper for full discussion. * VolumeIntegrals_slab_Gfood (~310 lines of code): Performs volume integrals over arbitrary rectangular prisms as specified in parameter files. * GiRaFFE_to_HydroBase & ID_converter_GiRaFFE (~230 lines of code): Acts as a translation layer to convert 3-velocities in HydroBase's Valencia formalism to/from the 3-velocity found in the induction equation (v^i = u^i/u^0; native to GiRaFFE). -= License =- To maximize compatibility with existing thorns in ET, all of the aforementioned GiRaFFE thorns are either licensed GPLv2+ or 2-clause BSD (FreeBSD). See LICENSE file in each. -= Download GiRaFFE! =- The collection of thorns comprising GiRaFFE may be downloaded here: https://bitbucket.org/zach_etienne/wvuthorns Sincerely, The GiRaFFE team -Zach Etienne -Mew-Bing Wan -Maria Babiuc -Sean McWilliams -Ashok Choudhary References: [1] J.C.
