Meeting update

High-Res MHD Shear

  • Runs are coming along - Beta10, Shear15 (95/200) Shear30 (92/200) Shear60 (100/200) and Beta1, Shear60 (75/200)
  • Going to need a solution for storing this data. I am estimating needing an extra TB locally, this will come right to the edge of available storage on our local machines as of now. So maybe folks need to delete old stuff, or we should decide on how many of the frames to keep (only 1/10 frames or so..?)
  • Only saw nans in one of the simulations (B10, S60), but they were resolved, only saw restarts in 2/4 of the sims, and only 1-2 times each; the sims seem to be progressing fine
  • Restarting with a less number of cores resolved memory issue — so guess on 4096 cores I hit a limit with memory per core. The sim can run fine on 2048 cores
  • Am post-processing data now. Getting the different pdfs, histograms, and column density maps Jonathan got for his CF paper, and will have Marissa work on fly-throughs
  • Going to do a resolution-convergence test for one of the runs, run out to frame 50 with 1 level more and 1 level less for the paper

High-res Hydro runs

  • Asked Christina for location of hydro sims. She said she would work on getting me an account on her local machines. Will ping her again this week.
  • She is teaching for the summer. I am wondering if I should offer to do the analysis for the hydro runs as well? Try to get 2 papers out on the CF, MHD and Hydro? Just thinking it would be nice to have a hydro version to compare to for the MHD effects..
  • When should plan a visit to NC?

Allocations

I called NICS the other day as I was having trouble logging into the Kraken replacement machine. They said that our allocation time had expired just on that day, leaving >½ a million cpu hours. He said starting July 1st we have allocations starting on San Diego & Tack. Said I might need to be added to these grants.

Outreach

The horizons program for innercity youths is starting next Tuesday. This is an 8 session summer workshop series that we are participating in to teach kids about astronomy. Marissa, Jonathan, and I are going to lead workshops for the kids. We each can come up with our own lesson plans, but please let me know what you plan to do with them by Monday.

Bonnor Ebert Paper

The forms have been received and the paper is awaiting publishing
