Stack Exchange Site Creation
by Grayson Carroll 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

Hey everyone, I remember a few people talking about stackexchange website for us to more effectively manage getting questions answered. If anyone else hasn't already started the process of making one, I would be willing to create it and pass all of the credentials to the maintainers. I've had a lot of great experience with stack overflow, and I think it will allow many of the toolkit's more difficult and obscure nuances to be much more well documented. Very useful for newcomers, and it's pretty intuitive. Thanks again for putting on a great workshop. Grayson Carroll

BH parameter file available
by Bode, Tanja 05 Apr '12

Hi all, Bruno added a link to a single puncture par file to the workshop site which is small enough to run within the VM. He'll go over it tomorrow morning, but go ahead and try it out! https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/images/6/69/Onepuncture.par Cheers, Tanja As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. --JFK

VM Memory/Size
by Dennis Castleberry 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Dear group, When conducting simulations or visualizations which require a great amount of disk space, you'll want to ensure that your disk space and memory are well-managed. You may wish to issue in another terminal the command: watch "df -h; echo; free -m" to monitor both disk space and memory periodically. If your disk becomes full, the OS will be unable to create files. This will prevent you from logging in, as file creation is necessary for login. This is reparable without starting from scratch (see me if it happens), but the best practice is to monitor the usage. Note that if you enable shared folders, you may save simulation and visualization data outside the disk image. Regards, Dennis Castleberry dcastl2(a)tigers.lsu.edu

Virtualbox installation
by Frank Loeffler 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hello everybody During the Einstein Toolkit workshop next week we will use VirtualBox to run a virtual machine on participant laptops. It would be beneficial (although it is not necessary) to install VirtualBox before you come to the workshop. You can find information about how to do that here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads You do not need to create any virtual machine yet. Just download and install the VirtualBox software itself, and if you like get familiar with it. We will provide a disk image, instructions and help at the workshop. Frank Loeffler
