# ET_2026_05 release

## Gallery runs

- Debporah's run: Something is wrong with the stampede build, her student ran
  and the trajectories were off. She's also having trouble with the derivatives

- Johnny is encountering a difference when running his (Poisson equation).
  He says if he uses the number of processes  Steve used he gets different
  results, if he uses 1 he gets the same results. He sees a left to right shift.
  Roland says that if the thing gets shifted to the right its OK, its taking a
  couple of iterations longer to converge.

- Noora reports having some allocation issues but promises to have it done by
  next week.

## Test suite runners

- Deborah is debuging on stampede 3. No luck yet. Will report back.

- Cottonmouth fails on sunrise and cosma, but the info is outdated, thorns have
  had updates. The test runners will try again.

- Noora reports all tests passing on frontera, but have not updated the webpage
  yet.

- McLachlan fails on delta, queen bee and sunrise. Peter concludes it was a
  tolerance issue, he will update the tests and the test page.

- Checkpoint failing on delta, anvil and expense. Roland asks for log files for
  this specific failure and will look at them.

- TwoPuncturesX fails on delta. Cheng-Hsin is defending, so Lucas and Noora
  will coordinate to see who has more time and try to run there.

## Thorn Reviews

- Bhahaha: Will have a vote next weeks for final inclusion.

- CanudaX: vote in 2 weeks or after.

- Cottonmouth: Zach is reviewing the Einstein Engine repo, he will have a list
  of updated issues soon.

- Boost: Its in, some people have been using it already, no issues so far. Up
  for vote next week.

- TwoPuncturesX: Approved, up for vote next week,

# Tickets

2916: New issues for Cottonmouth Review.
2952:
2950: We can't do point 3 before doing point 1, because we don't have
      conditional storage yet.
2944: Roland suggests splitting up the issue list in more than one
ticket. Because
      this thorn is very close to Multipole, many of the issues pointed out
      here should also be fixed on that thorn.
2949: C23 reserves the bool keyword, and the flesh requires some changes.
2948: Requires conditional storage.
