OK, interesting. It wasn't identified and fixed as far as I know (I wasn't able to reproduce the bug on my system)... sounds like it randomly stopped manifesting! Dave On 01/25/2012 03:59 PM, Roy Stogner wrote: > > This bug has gone away, and I reluctantly have to ask: did it actually > get i

This bug has gone away, and I reluctantly have to ask: did it actually get identified and fixed, or did it just randomly stop manifesting when other changes were made? ;-) --- Roy > On 12/15/2011 09:35 AM, Roy Stogner wrote: >> >> I can't seem to reproduce it easily, myself! BuildBot is showin

Random number generation has caused us many issues in MOOSE as well. Long ago we bundled in a free platform independent random number generator which resolved all of these issues. I don't know if we'd want to go those extremes in the libMesh library but it has worked well for us. Cody Sent from

John's right that there are random numbers in general, but in that example the training sets are not randomly generated. But the way the algorithm chooses the next parameter is by finding the one with the maximum error bound, and as you can see this problem has the same error bound at two diffe

I can't seem to reproduce it easily, myself! BuildBot is showing a failure every time with my default build: loadmodules intel tbb mpich2/1.2.1 mkl-pecos petsc slepc trilinos glpk vtk &&./configure --enable-everything but it's showing success with literally every other build I've configured it
