Project Randy

Previously:

Alan ran on Red Sky: 4K cores, 1.1 trillion cells. Alan applied Utkarsh's patches to completely remove the progress update, and that noticeable improved the performance. We should have an option to turn off progress reports when the number of processes exceeds some number, say 100.

Alan is still having problems scaling up past 5.5K cores or so, but this might be caused by the Red Sky system itself. Nathan reports similar problems using solvers without ParaView at all.

Today:

Supercomputing Tutorial

  • Ken Moreland, Andy Bauer, Nathan Fabian, and Pat Marion
  • CoProcessing tutorial

Warning when ProcessRequest modifies itself

Previously:

A while ago we talked about adding a check to the executive that issues a warning if it detects that its MTime changes during a call to ProcessRequest. Whatever happened to that? I just spent 2 days tracking down a parallel pipeline update problem that would have been quickly alerted had this been in place (and was easily fixed once I put my own check in place).

Berk suggested first adding the check only to ParaView. We will see how that works, and then possibly move to VTK. Kitware will take care of that.

Book omissions and errata

Previously:

Lisa is going to create a bug-tracker like functionality for the Kitware books.

Transition to git

Branchy workflow. Tie in to stronger dashboard.

Install hooks in CMake? Marcus will be responsible for it.

Updates to the VTK submodule.
