Present: Steve, Roland, Yosef, Zach, Helvi, Sam, Bhavesh, Peter, Patrick Nelson, Bill
Working group updates: * Perforrmance optimization: nothing to report * Education: nothing to report * Cosmoparticle: nothing to report * IllinoisGRMHD: updates are on the wiki page, https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ZBc8VQGZm3Gj3fu5TO75TW8swc4VETxnKy1J...
Gallery examples for next release: * BBH: comparison between current code and gallery data in Zenodo, results are pretty close. Plots are here http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2018-August/006471.html * poisson: Roland updated code, with this he can reproduce the plots, updated the website * BNS: Peter found out that change of using EOS_Omni to compute quantities cause most of the initial differences, after merger there are still differences. So far no input from Frank or Roberto, Peter will contact them directly.
Reviews: * WVUDiagnostics: no progress, want testsuites. Push to next release unless we have tests soon. * GiRaFFE: main thorn reviewed, most of GiRaFFE_Food, Zach and Roland to prioritize this request over others * Lean: Erik to review, likely not before the release * Proca: Peter made some progress, will continue to push it this week
Documentation: * would like some documentation explaining how to set up checkpoint / restart
IllinoisGRMHD robustness: * Zach reduced the maximum allowed speed to have a max. speed less than c_light * finds that robustness is greatly increased if one uses 3rd order Lagrange interpolator for IllinoisGRMHD variables. There is a pull request for such an operator: https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/2189
Testsuites: * remove MPG machines: draco, minerva, hydra are MPG machines. Wolfgang said he could maybe run on one of them, if not then we will remove them * Peter will run smic * Marconi: a machine in Italy, Roberto de Pietri, Eloisa had access, if they cannot run, then we should remove them
Moving website to github: * may be difficult to move due to multiple repos being linked up * some pages use php and cgi which are not straightfoward to run from github * currently have docker image that makes the server much more self-contained than before, docker image is here:
Working group calls: * IllinoisGRMHD on Wednesday 11:00AM US Eastern Time * Performance optimization on Friday 12pm US Central time
Yours, Roland
