Present: Christian, Steve, Frank, Roland, Eliu, Gela, Roberto, Erik,

Upcoming release: * no progress on test suites * leftover tickets * aim for end of June

KNL status: * most KNL machines (Cori, Marconi) can be used, if slowly so * stampede is the only machine that cannot be used * single nodes can be used on stampede but MPI currently still fails * will put in language stating that stampede is causing trouble and that speed is sub-optimal * will focus on KNL performance during ET workshop and possible followup workshops

Noise in waveforms from McLachlan: * is not determined by size of Cartesian domain * substantial increase in resolution in the attachment region to multipatch helps * finest resolution is mostly unchanged * no change due to dissipation settings * right now 4th order (since coulpled to hydro) will do 8th order and report to mailing list with results

Focus item for workshop: * porting to KNL (McLachlan, GRHydro) * KNL benchmark analysis

Yours, Roland
