#2173: Test "Poisson equation" example
Reporter: Roland Haas
Status: open
Milestone: ET_2023_05
Version: development version
Type: task
Priority: major
Component: EinsteinToolkit website
Comment (by Bing-Jyun Tsao):
Gallery test run poisson-20230510 is completed and updated. The link for the thornlist is pointed to [https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/manifest/raw/ET\_2023\_05/einsteintoo… which does not exist yet.
A new visit session file `psi4.session` is needed for either cases of running with 1 thread or 8 threads with VisIt 3.2.1, and the session file is included in the compressed folder `poisson-20230510.tar.gz` in downloads.

#1674: Switch to OpenBLAS

OpenBLAS is a BLAS and LAPACK library that is significantly more efficient that the standard ("reference") BLAS. I suggest we switch the ET thorn list to ExternalLibraries/OpenBLAS instead of ExternalLibraries/BLAS and ExternalLibraris/LAPACK.

Comment (by Roland Haas):
This ticket has been around for a while. I would still think that since OpenBLAS is x86 specific and even on x86 machines fails to compile if the processor is too new \(or old I guess\), I would not want it to be the default.
Instead clusters where indeed we could compile BLAS and LAPACK libs from scratch can use simfactory’s `enabled-thorns` and `disable-thorns` options to enable OpenBLAS. If we do not compile, which is the usual case on clusters, then there is no difference between using BLAS/LAPACK externallibraries and OpenBLAS.
That leaves the case of user workstations and unknown clusters. On a user workstation, with automated setup, speed should not matter so I would strongly advocate to use the “compiles everywhere” BLAS and LAPACK even if they are slow. In particular since the ET as a whole doe not depend on those for speed.
On clusters, speed does matter, but setting up on a cluster requires some expertise anyway and we should be able to expect that those doing so will be able to set the correct LAPACK\_DIR and BLAS\_DIR variables to point to the system installed good BLAS / LAPACK library. If there are indeed HPC clusters where those libraries are not provide, then those clusters may be best avoided.

#2728: not all configuration options are documented

No all configuration options seem to be documented. Right now `git grep 'CXX.*OPENMP'` finds noting in the TeX files.
