Hi. This may be related to something Yosef brought up back in July ["Differences in results ..." from 26 July], but I'm seeing sizable differences in WF amplitudes from Multipole when running the parameter files for the ETK paper (Loeffler et al.).
Specifically, if I take the parameter file
<Cactus>/par/arXiv:1111.3344/bbh/BBHMedHRes.par
... and run it with a Curie (ET_2011_05) executable, my r=30M (2,2) mode has a peak magnitude of just above 0.0027. Rerunning the same parameter file with *no* changes, using the current release, Lovelace (ET_2012_05), the same peak amplitude is just above 0.00257 -- a drop of almost 5%.
Can anyone tell me what might be going wrong? Is there some kind of change in default dissipation that could explain such a large discrepancy? Does anyone have a drop-in replacement for these parameter files that will actually match the *results* from the Curie executable?
Thanks,
Bernard
