Storage itself can always be checked via CCTK_VarDataPtr Tickets on list =============== * "BHNS with Elliptica: Assertion `all(offset == other.offset)' failed" https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2899/ . No progress, Roland now has access to MN5. * "CarpetX: interpolation with z-reflection symmetry only works for Psi4", https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2902 . Roland says this would be nice to have for upcoming release. * "NoiseX: Improve noise generation in CarpetX", https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2855 . Moved to top since Roland added comment based on Erik's observation that vertex centered grid double cover the last grid point * "CarpetX: Interpolator caches" https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2898 . Lucas is re-implementing so as to not use a cache but provide finer grained control to caller over stages (setup and interpolate) * "GetComponents: add support to set push_url in git" https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2896 Steve will review * "PUGH tries to free memory not allocated by malloc", https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2764 . No progress. * "Improve McLachlan accuracy", https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/963 . Peter and Zach are still working on this. Any other business ================== * Roland mentioned prior efforts of transitioning Cactus codes to github and need to reach out to current owner of cactuscode github user name * Lucas brought up the issue that Perl is becoming less and less familiar to developers of Cactus code. Suggests to try and see if a transition to Python (3) maybe using a LLM to help it possible. Need to ensure that a common version of Python 3 is installed on all clusters. We will meet once more this year next week (Dec 18th), then skip Christmas day (25th) and New Year's day (1st).
