Present: Steve, Anna, Yosef, Roland, Qian, Peter, Bhavesh, Gabrielle, Ian, Samuel
Cactus release * People assume it is dead by now. * make a Cactus release now, while we have less pressure * check Cactus website for up-to-date information ** remove outdated information ** how can one actually edit the page (CCT accounts)? TODO: Steve to find out * check for Cactus' release notes by Frank * draft release procedures
Demo of the RunView * Anna gave presentation, code is on https://github.com/stevenrbrandt/RunView will be updated after this call * Runview is a thorn for the ET * analyse program efficiency for domain experts, presents easy to understand overview of efficiency as interactive (javascript) html pages * 1st graph shows bubble like timeline where bubble size correlates with L3 cache misses (bigger bubbles are worse) * 2nd show timline of schedule items, identifies recurring schedule patterns to show how a single iteration of the pattern looks like * uses information from Cactus timers and from PAPI * currently development stage, not yet production ready * uses regular Cactus, just needs the Runview thorn Q&A: * currently not yet possible to study load imbalance as data
Creation of a popular book about the science done by the Einstein Toolkit (Steven) * for outreach and interest in Cactus * geared towards scientists but not already Cactus users * aim is raise visibility of this group * alternatives: ** long review article ** special issue of a journal * to raise the footprint it may also be sufficient to hire an undegraduate student for this
Facebook page: * page is up, no information yet though
switch ExternalLibraries over to github * proceed for now since no working alternatives are available right now * if this does not work, revert
ET workshop: * if not yet done you really must book them now
Yours, Roland
