How do the modes affect the scheduling?
I scheduling my thorn to be run after the QLM thorn, because I need access to the spin components calculated by the QLM thorn..
If I schedule everything in my thorn in *global-early*, I get around the problems of not being able to output correctly..
but now, the thorn runs *before* the QLM thorn, even though the schedule tree indicates differently.. which means I don't have access to the variables from the QLM thorn, because they haven't been calculated at the time my thorn does its calculations..
how is this happening?
best wishes,

Sorry for the late reply, was (and am) still testing around...
Here is the schedule tree for my thorn:
disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_Setup_LoopCounter: [global] while (Disk_Analysis::nradii_LoopCounter) GROUP DISK_ANALYSE: Disk_analysis main loop disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_Decrement_LoopCounter: [global] disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_calculate_J_gridpoint_shell:[global] [loop-local] disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_reduce_J_total_shell: [global] disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_calculate_angles_shell: [global] end while disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_extraction_plane: [global] GROUP DISK_GLOBAL_QUANTITIES: disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_set_global_quantities: [global] [loop-local] disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_reduce_global_quantities: [global] disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_set_global_specific_quantities: [global] [loop-local]
The problem is the following:
I want to calculate some quantities in the function *disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_set_global_specific_quantities*, these will be grid functions that I want to output (in 1D and 3D)
however, the calculation depends on *disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_extraction_plane*, where I decide if I need to rotate the coordinate system in which I later want to calculate the grid functions... it basically calculates and stores a rotation matrix, as well as an integer switch that later tells us if we need to rotate..
now, when scheduling *disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_set_global_specific_quantities* as global loop-local, the values obtained in *disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_extraction_plane* (which i store as SCALARS and have assigned storage for) are the correct ones, however, I cannot output the grid functions calculated, which I guess is due to this response from Roland in the mailing list earlier this year:

now, if i want correct output, i can use either local mode or global-early loop-local mode..
then however, the values of the rotation matrix and the integer switch of actually using it are not correct, because the routine seems to be called now not in the order indicated by the schedule tree, but rather before the values have been set...
so: when using *global loop-local *in *disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_set_global_specific_quantities*, the grid functions are not output correctly (only in the innermost refinement level)
and when using *local* or *global-early loop-local *the function *disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_set_global_specific_quantities *cannot access the data calculated by *disk_analysis::Disk_Analysis_extraction_plane..*
is there an obvious way around this? ie getting the correct scheduling for both being able to use the values in the function AND outputting the calculated grid functions correctly??

You should have access to scalars in any mode. What happens when you try?
when scheduling the calculation in global, loop-local mode, I can't
output
the data at the grid points (the output gives 1.96808407167164e+243 at
each
point for every refinement level apart from the innermost, where the
values
are output correctly)
It is difficult to see what is going on without the actual scheduling statements, and in general more information. Could you please post at least the declaration of both scalar and GFs from interface.ccl, and the corresponding SCHEDULE entries in schedule.ccl? Also, I assume you do have storage enabled for both? Also useful might be the output of the schedule tree. You get that by default, but also when running with the -S option (that aborts the run after the tree has been printed).
