Thanks !

Everyone, I had a great time digging deeper into the toolkit this week with you all. It was good to hang out with physicists and consider science problems for a change. Thanks, in particular to the NCSA team and Roland Haas for the hospitality and a well thought-through program. The toolkit you guys have built is very impressive and well in line with commercial software I am using in my work. If, for some reason, the science dries up there are plenty of opportunities for all of you in the commercial industry. I wish I could be more involved with real work on the science but as my time is very limited I have to settle for the next best thing. I will be doing more of the janitorial work and help with the new user experience/documentation and perhaps also be able to debug some of the examples that do not work for some reason or other. I 'see' you online! Mikael Sahrling

DataVault — Einstein Toolkit Data Repository Pre-design Survey
by Qian Zhang 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Dear Einstein Toolkit (ET) users, As part of an NSF software award, we are planning to build an open, community data repository for the Einstein Toolkit (ET). A core driver for this repository is to facilitate data retention and sharing. Datasets produced by the Einstein Toolkit will be archived in an open repository where they can be connected to publications via a DOI, and searched for via metadata. We would welcome hearing your thoughts on how to share and sustain the datasets produced by the ET. You are invited to participate in this research project because you are the user of the Einstein Toolkit and associated data. Your participation in this research study is *voluntary*. You may choose not to participate. If you decide to participate in this research survey <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdLrcXVJXKZBv3PAIaXtgj6YMylPVxwx-c…> (and a follow-up survey), you may withdraw at any time. If you decide not to participate in this study or if you withdraw from participating at any time, you will not be penalized. The procedure involves filling an online survey that will take approximately 20 minutes. Your responses will be *confidential* and we do not collect identifying information such as your name, email address or IP address. The survey (and a follow-up survey) questions will be about how you managed your simulation data regularly and related experience with using other data repositories. We will do our best to keep your information confidential. All data is stored in an electronic format. To help protect your confidentiality, the surveys will not contain information that will personally identify you. The results of this study will be used for scholarly purposes only and may be shared with related project personnels. If you have any questions about the research study, please contact Gabrielle Allen (gdallen(a)illinois.edu), Roland Hass (rhaas(a)illinois.edu) or Qian Zhang (zqian1(a)illinois.edu). This research has been reviewed according to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign IRB procedures for research involving human subjects. If you have any questions about your rights as a participant in this study or any concerns or complaints, please contact the University of Illinois Office for the Protection of Research Subjects at 217-333-2670 <(217)%20333-2670> or via email at irb(a)illinois.edu. The *link* to the survey is *here* <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdLrcXVJXKZBv3PAIaXtgj6YMylPVxwx-c…> (the same link as above). Please complete the survey by the end of *next Sunday, August 13*. Thank you very much! Qian

traXXX acounts on loging nodes
by Roland Haas 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Hello all, I very happy to see that the training accounts are still being used for experiments (they are good until about August 15th and you are welcome to use them until then), Unfortunately I have also received emails about too high CPU load and some of you may have seen their processed "killed" by the OS. This happens because I had forgotten to include export OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 ./exe/cactus_etk_workshop par/static_tov.par without the OMP_NUM_THREADS the process tries to start 64 threads which is as many as there are cores which can cause it to stall.

software requirements
by Roland Haas 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

Hello all, for the North American Einstein Toolkit School and Workshop you will need some software installed to be able to get started right away. This page https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/NCSAETK2017/setup#Handouts contains information on what software to install. You should at least install a web browser that supports javascript, VisIt and an ssh client. Other software is optional but can be very useful to have. You should not require a powerful laptop as most work will be done using remote machines. We will have a 1 hour computer setup sessionbefore the school on Monday July 31 from 8am - 9am and will eg have USB sticks with the required software ready. Setting things up in advance will avoid stressful first days when you are trying to handle both the lectures and fixing your laptop. Yours, Roland -- My email is as private as my paper mail.
