Present: Steve, Yosef, Roland, Bill, Erik, Bruno, Eloisa, Ian, Bhavesh, Peter, Gabrielle
KNL status: * Cactus supports AVX512, uncovered a bug in Carpet's prolongation op code, patch is up for review Steve will look at it, this also makes tests pass for floats rather than doubles
ET workshop in Mallorca update: * http://grg.uib.es/EinsteinToolkit2017/ * 11-14 of October, last day is Ed Fest * will have intro to ET on the 11th * 12th, 13th will be fully dedicated to ET, contributed talks on 12th, 13th will be future plans and developments * will also get together to submit "cost" proposal, which supports building networks in the EU * will include on ET website once more details are fixed * registration is officially closed, room block is gone, rooms can in principle still be booked but there is no guarantee to have a room anymore
status of servers at LSU: * simfactory.org is back up * Roland says that Ian has hooked the ET websites to uptime service and can likely add others to the recipient list (or just at the test@einsteintoolkit.org mailing list)
Transitioning ExternalLibs to git/svn: * Roland has a proof of concept move to github, which lets end users use svn for downloads. Another change (in principle separate) modifies history so that the git repository has manageable size by turning the tar.gz files into tar files so that git's delta-compression works * will move discussion to mailing list and come to a decision next week
ad-hoc topics: * Erik has patch for Carpet that disables OpenMP in the prolongation ops, this makes it actually faster for some cases. Roland will provide freedback for KNL. * Gabrielle will create facebook page for ET and add Steve Brandt as admin to the page * not much of a discussion on working groups last week, working document is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j12IEY8kH6R33qfXpD5BaDDXLEYdNceEqf9crLup... * working groups are advertised on the ET mailing list and decided upon by the maintainers, thus the working group memberships and plans are public and have set deadlines for milestones * procedure is approved, send documents to maintainers@einsteintoolkit.org
No ET phone call next week due to labor day holiday in the US the next meeting will be 2017-09-11.
Yours, Roland
