Present: Steven R Brandt, Kai, Keith Dow, Samuel Cupp, Peter Diener, Zachariah Etienne, Roland Hass, Leo Werneck
* We had a new member, Kai's, to join in the meeting. Kai is a German software engineer creating a Game Engine. He wants to model GR physics with his engine and is interested in learning GR / NR.
* US ET Workshop June 3-7 [SB] Steve says that the workshop is "in pretty good shape, in terms of the number of speakers".
Currently, there are too many funding requests to attend the workshop and too little money to fulfill these requests. There may be support from CCT for paying for the meals of participants. There is some spare money from the Spec benchmarks that may be used for the workshop.
Steve expressed that van drivers for the Wednesday LIGO tour are needed.
Philipp Moesta has announced the European ETK workshop in Amsterdam.
* ET release timeline [SB] The release timeline is def. going to slip.
The new target is the second week in June.
Roland urged that codes from personal git repositories be moved into the ETK organization repository.
Seteve urged to contact the NewRadX devs to move their repo. The need to move CarpetX was pointed out as well. Roland will make sure that happens.
Roland brought up that gallery example runners are needed. The gallery examples need to be done before the new release deadline.
Steve has volunteered to take BNs example.
Deborah Ferguson volunteered for BBHs example.
Roland has a student coming in June and will ask him for a TOV example.
Lucas volunteered to run the MultiPatch example.
* contributions (champion, reviewer) ** MultipoleX (Lucas, Roland): Steve wants to figure a way out to make that work with Roland.
** NewRadX (Alex, Liwei and Jay): Jay is reviewing the thorn.
** Z4c (Erik, Steve): Dead. Not present in this release. Not enough time for it to get ready. Has no tests.
** GRHayL-based IllinoisGRMHD (Sam, Lorenzo): On track.
** Baikal(Vacuum) using NRPy 2.0 (Sam, Terrence): On track.
** GRHayLHD(X) updated to include tabulated EOS (Sam, Terrence): On track.
* Unanswered question on the mailing list
The issue with npernode value in MPI (Shamim Haque 1910511): Steve the problem is more or less solved.
* Open tickets sorted by update time SyntaxWarnings Raised During Build Process with Python 3.12: Roland requested changes to the simfactory ini file reader.
TACC Stampede3-skx Compilation Failing [-Wincompatible-function-pointer-type]: Remove the restrict keyword from the thorn. Roland will do it. At some point, restrict needs to be restored, because in Fortran, a restrict is a "default".
ET webserver no longer sends email: Closed.
Add sorting capability to the manifest: Steve made a sorter to solve this problem, which could be used or not.
* Tickets ready for review
SyntaxWarnings Raised During Build Process with Python 3.12: See above. Roland will investigate why the ticket has not yet been closed since he fixed the problem.
Improve McLachlan accuracy: Peter and Zach have No updates yet, but they scheduled a meeting to work on this.
zlib: also use pkg-config when searching for installed versions: Solved by Roland.
Issues link against Kadath Thorns and Intel MKL due to link ordering: Sam wants/needs to do more stuff before it is closed. Maybe poke him.
* Talking to Kai about what he wants/ what he got from the meeting.
* Peter suggests Kai studying perturbations for particle motion solutions https://bhptoolkit.org/KerrGeodesics/
