Debugging
MHD Debugging With some help I found a major bug. Several indices had a * instead of + when calculating the shift based on the number of passive scalars. After fixing that the constant, no magneti...

Committee Meeting I had my second committee meeting this week and it went well. The committee had good suggestions on what to do next and so I’m going to work on that. MHD Debugging I started di...
Second Committee Meeting Prep I made the presentation, practiced it with observers, and iterated it from there. MHD Debugging I decided to start debugging with just a constant set of initial con...
Second Committee Meeting Prep I researched, wrote, cited, and made figures for committee meeting report. I also started on the presentation but have not completed it yet. Reading Ntormoussi e...
MHD Debugging Fixed some bugs in the divergence checking code and improved output formatting Fixed some bugs and formatting in the plotting code and tried a parallel version that turned out t...
GPU Resident Reduction I finished the GPU resident reduction and submitted a pull request for it. The issue with slightly different results from last week turned out to be because I had forgotten ...
GPU Resident Reduction This week I implemented a GPU resident parallel reduction for Cholla as described in this NVIDIA blog post. Performance is similar to current reductions that we use but inst...
Constrained Transport Electric Fields I fixed some bugs in the CT electric fields kernel, added documentation to everything I’ve added over the last few weeks, and wrote tests for the CT electric ...
Constrained Transport Electric Fields I finally figured out the CT electric fields/EMF this week. I spent the first two days reading papers and discussing it with my advisor and then got to implem...
VL+CT Integrator I worked a lot this week on figuring out the CT electric fields kernel. After rereading Stone & Gardiner 2009, Gardiner & Stone 2008, and Stone et al. 2008 and looking at ...
