BLonD code development meeting

→ Europe/Zurich
CERN

CERN

Video conferencing only

Kostis:

  1. PSB test case on single/double precision
    • higher error than for other test cases, but still within statistical error
  2. Dynamic load balancing
    • controlled way to test imbalance in a cluster
    • shows good results for DLB algorithm

 

Alex

  • Section object partially implemented
    • Naming convention to be discussed
    • Section length is a programme -> should be renamed to radius/orbit?
      • Next time: review EOM on orbit convention; fixed section length and time-varying orbit programme?
  • New in travis: set up ssh key (t.b.d. with Kostis)
    • Automatic docs generation
  • Naming conventions
    • Objects: Ring*, RF* (e.g. Ring, RingSection)
    • Module names: try avoiding _ ?
      • Brainstorming on shorter names in codimd for next time; we'll decide during the meeting
    • Attribute names: to be reviewed on demand

Panagiotis

  • Will circulate first version of complete GPU version for people to test

AOB

  • Forum question on website concerning sparse beam and multiple bunches -- Alex and Simon please reply
  • New website: https://test-blond.web.cern.ch/
    • Please check and bring up any additions you would like to make in the next meeting; afterwards, we'll make it online
