PITTNullCode updates

Issue #991 closed
Roland Haas created an issue

These patches contain three types of updates (sorry, I do not have feature separated ones):

  • making parameters steerable
  • respecting the truncate_files Cactus Parameter
  • a bugfix where points that were interpolated very close to the extraction world tube had very low accuracy due to a hard-coded offset (Nick Taylor and Bela Szilagyi found and fixed this)

    NullNews.patch seems to be a patch for NullSHRExtract. It also conflicts with NullSHRExtract.patch

    Are you sure you are looking at the newest patches? There were wrong patches in before but they were corrected today at 9AM. The NullNews one should start as:

    Index: param.ccl

    --- param.ccl (revision 9) +++ param.ccl (working copy) @@ -22,19 +22,19 @@

    private:

    -BOOLEAN first_order_scheme "should angular derviatives be reduced to first order?" +BOOLEAN first_order_scheme "should angular derviatives be reduced to first order?" STEERABLE=ALWAYS { } "yes"

    They are all to be applied in their respective thorn directory it NullNews.patch from within PITTNullCode/NullNews and not from within PITTNullCode.

    Please commit these changes. They don't affect the testsuites and Bela found them to be essential for the correctness of the code.

    The start-up related change could be logged as

    Improve the start-up algorithm of the characteristic marching scheme from the inner boundary towards scri+.

    All other changes are related to either improving IO (will correctly truncate/create diagnostic files) or allowing for flexible tuning of IO between checkpoints/restarts (by changing the parameters into steerable ones).

    Thank you for the review. Yes NullVars was indeed faulty and had not been fixed. My apologies. I have applied all patches as revisions 9 of NullDecomp, 10 of NullEvolve, 10 of NullNews and 10 of NullSHRExtract,
