Einstein Toolkit Call 2014-06-40

Participants: Erik Schnetter, Frank Löffler, Ian Hinder, Roland Haas, Steve Brandt, Yosef Zlochower

Notes:

Tickets: - hwloc (please review patch) - GetComponents (please review patch) - parameter parsing (please review patch)

Illinois GRMHD: - need to integrate better with EinsteinBase

Transition to git: - Frank created mappings from user names to emails, sent to Ian - will check out flesh into "repos" subdirectory - may want to convert CactusBase first, and the flesh later

Time level handling and checkpointing: - still possible to create a checkpoint that cannot be recovered - problems is the time hierarchy (th class): grid variables can have more time levels than th - note: there is a parameter max_timelevels that can be set to prevent this - one solution: check during storage allocation whether max_timelevels is set correctly - Roland to create ticket describing discussed solution - MoL should maybe be changed to require fewer time levels; Ian to create ticket for this

Automated tests: - will need to update from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04
