I think it's awkward to hunt through all the thorns and arrangements and try to figure out what I've changed. Does anyone else feel similarly? Is this worth a ticket on GetComponents? Cheers, Steve

Einstein Toolkit Meeting Reminder
by Frank Loeffler 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Hi Please consider joining the weekly Einstein Toolkit phone call at 10 am US central time on Mondays. As usual, you can find instructions how to join on the following web site: http://einsteintoolkit.org/community/support/ In short: the number is (+1) 225-578-4942 or (+1) 866-573-0359 and the conference id is 118682#. One of the likely topics will be SPH within Cactus. Happy MLK day, Frank

Sync a single variable
by Steven R. Brandt 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Frank tells me there was a ticket, maybe even a patch, at some point allowing one to specify a single variable (rather than a group) for syncing in a ccl file. Does anyone know what's become of it? Cheers, Steve

SPH Idea and your Feedback
by sruehe＠astrophysik.uni-kiel.de 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hallo, first of all i want to thank you for your feedback. It's much more than i expected. Because i havn't read up on every part of the EinsteinToolkit (most of the last days i read the theoretical background to the BSSN formalism) i can't say much about programming concepts up to now. I think the implantation of a particle based structure is one of the biggest part for a SPH implementation. I'm glad about this interest and would try to join the phone call on the next Monday, which Frank Loeffler suggested. Stefan Ruehe

Some more Questions from a new User

Hello EinsteinToolkit-Community, first of all i want thank you very much for the fast and helpful answer to my last Email. I mentioned i'm at the beginning of my phd. So before i'm wasting too much time on working at something an other already knows, i want to ask some perhaps a little bit naively sounding questions. I have studied smoothed particle hydrodynamics on a fixed spacetime, so i get the idea devolping a sph based thorn. I found no publications, so is perhaps anybody already working on this problem, or has one shown that this isn't possible? Because this is an community based development, it is quite interesting whether it could be an useful thorn. I'm not sure whether my questions are answerable, but perhaps you can help me a second time. Thank you very much, Stefan Ruehe

Point relase of ET_2013_11 "Noether"
by Frank Loeffler 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Since its release, a few important corrections have been added to the current version ET_2013_11 "Noether". In fact, one error in particular can lead silently to wrong results, so we strongly suggest to update checkouts. Updating is easy: from within your Cactus checkout (cd into it), execute ./bin/GetComponents -u New tags for this "point release" have been created: ET_2013_11_v1, but it is not recommended to use these for a checkout, to be able to easily receive possible future updates. The tar ball has been updated as well. In the following we briefly describe the changes included in this update. The ET_2013_11 "Noether" release of the Einstein Toolkit contained an error in Carpet which was introduced since the previous ET_2013_05 "Gauss" release. The problem was related to synchronising ghost zones after data is restricted (copied from fine grids to coarse grids). The problem has been observed to result in incorrect data on coarse grids for multi-process runs with more than 2 refinement levels, and data on coarse grids which depends on the number of processes used. This problem has now been fixed in the ET_2013_11 release branch. The MoL integrator RK87 was not functional in the Noether release, triggering an error message instead. This message was meant to warn that RK87 is not implemented for grid arrays. However, this error message and abort was always triggered, even for evolutions of only grid functions (the usual case). This has been corrected, and now only triggers if evolutions of grid arrays are requested with RK87. In IDLinearWaves the calculation of one coeffient for the m=2 mode of the Teukolsky waves was missing, resulting in usage of uninitialized memory for that mode. This is not a regression from a previous release, but was included in the point release because of its trivial and non-invasive fix. Frank Loeffler for the Einstein Toolkit maintainers

Meeting Minutes
by Roland Haas 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Present: Frank, Roland, Peter, Steve, Yosef, Zach, Josh, Matt, Ian backporting changes: * urgently want to create new release tag and send out announcement for restriction bug that was fixed and backported * policy for backporting: ** backport all regression fixes ** backport all fixes that would have silently produced incorrect results ** backport fixes that cleanly apply, backport fixes which are requested by a user IllinoisGRMHD: * progress made checking for regressions, now agrees with previous Illinois code for 100 steps when using AMR and no symmetries * will be proposed for inclusion * Philipp and Zach to add edge centered prolongation operators for magnetic vector potentials * need to interface with current BC scheme in CactusBase/Boundary * code repository is at: https://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/cactus/EinsteinEvolve/IllinoisGRMHD Yours, Roland

New User, Questions

Hallo Einsteintoolkit-Community, i'm a phd-student in my first year at University zu Kiel, Germany. I've read many papers and saw the Toolkit for simulating relativistic hydrodynamics at black holes. First i have some important qustions and hope you can help me. Does the BSSN-algorithm regard the hydrodynamic mass as source function in the current timestep to calculate the hypersurface of the next timestep? Does this work via the TmunuBase? Is the self-gravitation of the hydrodynamics calculated by the perturbation of the spacetime? I hope you can help me, thank you very much. Stefan Ruehe

PAPI on stampede/mic
by Roland Haas 12 Jan '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Erik, all, it seems that PAPI 5.3 has options to compile for the mics. One only has to pass --with-mic to configure. Are you aware of incompatibilities of PAPI 5.3 or should it be fine to update the tarball in ExternalLibraries? (CC'd to users(a)einsteintoolkit.org) I can compile PAPI 5.3 on stampede and run the papi.par test in ExternalLibraries/PAPI and get Cache misses (but no timing, but lots of event-does-not exist warnings): INFO (PAPI): PAPI_register_clock INFO (PAPI): Running local single-threaded DGEMM benchmark with N=1000...
