Meeting minutes:
Present were: Tanja, Roland, Frank, Erik, Bruno, Josh, Gabrielle, Ian, Christian, Yosef
* simfactory: ** the python based version of simfactory is ready for testing ** python based version will offer support for archiving, profiling and debugging beyond what is currently available in the perl version. ** Gabe suggested adding data management functionality ** a desire to make using simfactory easier was voiced, but no agreement on how to achieve this was reached
* reports on changes to WeylScal4 and the JPEG thorn(s)
* Erik and Gabe recapped the current status of the test accounts: ** they are full accounts on QueenBee sponsored by Erik ** their SUs come out of the Cactus allocation ** currently the tutorial is geared towards them and using QueenBee ** we would like a list of the test accounts (maybe showing which ones are active and which ones are dormant) ** wanted to follow up to see if there are users who never run a job but only compile the code
* it was suggested to use the Mercurial version of Carpet in the ET, however Erik says it is not yet stable and still contains serious bugs ** we need verification tests ** in particular for prolongation, restriction under realistic circumstances
* new thorns: ** Ian made his SystemStatistics thorn public (in AEITHorns) ** WaveToy will be included in the ET (RH: which version? The standalone ones or the MoL based one? There are a number of testsuites that use the later one.) ** TestPar a thorn to test parameter file parsing will be included ** EOS_Omni will be included in the source but stay deactivated.
* XiRel/CIGR anual report ** AMR: we are working on this, mostly on refluxing (Erik and Christian) ** MHD nearly there, working version for shocktubes, will start testing within a week, also test divB=0 constraint. currently work is concentrated on Con2Prim routines. (Josh and Scott, see wiki of the Carpet workshop: http://ccrg.rit.edu/~carpet/wiki/Main_Page) ** there has been no progress yet for higher order numerical methods ** there has been no progress yet including radiation or mircophysics into the code
* Yosef will give a technical talk about the numerical challenges when simulating extreme mass ratio inspirals (today)
Yours, Roland
