Hi all, I'm taking a look at the plotting docs right now. One of the scripts in the callback documentation currently fails with a NotImplementedError. The somewhat scipt is here: http://paste.yt-project.org/show/4857/ And the traceback is here: http://paste.yt-project.org/show/4858/ I'm not sure whether anyone has looked in detail at the clump finder in 3.0. Does anyone know about its status? I'm not even sure if this is an issue with the clump finder per se. -Nathan

Update on answer tests

by Matthew Turk

Hi all, I'm looking over the answer test failures which came from the change in output/input units. I spent a good portion of yesterday and some of this morning digging into this, examining which mesh cells each particle got deposited in, and I think I've come up with a *reason*, if not an *answer*. What seems to be happening is that at some point as a result of the additional convert_to_units calls, there is a drift in particle positions at the scale of a few NULP. Unfortunately, there are a handful of particles that this causes to shift between zones in the mesh of the octree -- not enough to change the octree structure, but enough to cause a difference. I was able to reduce the number of differences by using IEEE754 rounding, rather than simple truncation, during cell assignment. When the deposition is done, this is only a relative difference of ~1e-16, but when projected (and especially, when projected with a *weight*) this gets amplified to the point that it triggers our answer tests to fail. I was able to prove to myself that this is the case by comparing the results of truncating to float32 precision inside the get() function, which means all oct-identification for deposition occurs at the scale of 32 bits rather than 64. I then compared the old results (with the truncation in precision) to the new results (with the same truncation in precision) and got identical results, all of which passed the answer test suite. This doesn't solve the problem, but it points to a reason for it. Even with that reason, however, I'm really quite dissatisfied with the idea that we're introducing this jitter in the first place. It seems, to my eye, to be coming from multiple calls to unit conversion, etc etc, that introduce slight differences. I've attempted to reduce these calls in the PR. There was an additional issue, in that we were iterating over sets of files, which introduced the possibility of iteration order differences. That's been addressed in an outstanding PR. Anyway, I'll send an update once I've completely tracked this down. -Matt

Non-periodic datasets and ghost zones

by Matthew Turk

Hi all, What should we do (in general) about non-periodic datasets and getting ghost zones for the domain edges? This is the reason that the cookbook recipe simple_slice_with_multiple_fields.py fails -- it's trying to get vorticity (needs GZs) for a non-periodic dataset. Fixing the cookbook only requires swapping out the dataset, but I thought we should probably open this discussion up a bit too. -Matt

star particles in HaloCatalog

by Josh Moloney

I've been trying to figure out if there is a way to create a HaloCatalog that contains dark matter and star particles, but as far as I can tell there isn't one. From what I understand, the following things are true of the current HaloCatalog implementation (but please correct me if I'm wrong): Rockstar doesn't support multiple mass particles so can't be used for this. Only previously created Rockstar halos can be loaded into a HaloCatalog with halo_pf (not hop or fof). Any halo finder can be called when a HaloCatalog is created, but there isn't a way to pass keyword arguments to the finder so they are always run with dm_only = True. Is there another method that I'm missing that gets around these problems? If not, it's probably worth adding a way to pass keyword arguments to the individual halo finders from HaloCatalog, especially if the plan for 3.0 is to have all halo functionality centered around these catalogs. - Josh

RFC: Staggered deprecation through 3.1 and 3.2

by Matthew Turk

Hi all, One thing we really tried to do with 3.0 was break all the APIs we thought we'd need to before release. This included things like ds/pf, index/hierarchy, the way data selections were made, etc. It's starting to become clear that we are approaching maturity at different rates in these initiatives. I am wondering if perhaps we should de-couple the release from all of the API breakages, and instead note which interfaces we know are going to change in the future. Pragmatically, what this would mean is: * Release a 3.0 with the old VR and halo finding interfaces * Release a 3.1 with either the new VR or the new halo finding (or both) * Do the same for 3.2 This doesn't fit with the usual "major numbers are where APIs break" philosophy that comes from semantic versioning, but I think from the perspective of pragmatism, if we identify those sections of the code that are *going* to change, and we pitch 3.0 as the first part of a staged release of totally rewritten infrastructure, we can likely come out okay. I'd like to put this out there for discussion. -Matt

I can help fix the halo docs. I had started going through the old pages the last time I was working on this but got waylaid by traveling.

Scipy sprint

by Nathan Goldbaum

Hi all, Matt has submitted a proposal for a yt sprint at the Scipy conference. I think the proposal is pretty much pro forma - there will almost certainly be a yt sprint. The sprints will be July 11th and 12th. I'm planning on being there for both days but will have to leave to catch a plane the afternoon of July 12th. Please reply to this thread if you're interested in participating. Even if you're not going to be at the scipy conference this year, remote participation will certainly be doable. -Nathan

Issue #851: ray object fields are out of order (yt_analysis/yt)

by Britton Smith

New issue 851: ray object fields are out of order https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/851/ray-object-fields-are-out-of… Britton Smith: Ray objects no longer return fields in order along the ray from the start to the end position. This can be seen with the following: ``` #!python ds = load(...) ray = ds.ray(start, end) print ray["t"] ``` The t values should go increase monotonically from 0 to 1, but instead are scrambled. This can be worked around with an argsort of the fields, but I think this is still a bug, or at least a regression.

Globally replacing pf with ds?

by Nathan Goldbaum

Hi all, Before 3.0 goes out, how do you all feel about a PR that replaces "pf" with "ds" across the whole codebase? I think this is worth doing, since it reduces the cognitive load of dealing with yt internals. One downside is that it will break user scripts if they're using internal APIs. It will also be a big, difficult-to-review PR. Now is the time to do this if it ever gets done since there are a large number of other breaking changes in 3.0. I'd be happy to do this if there's a consensus that it's worth doing. Nathan

Experimental sub-chunking for grids

by Matthew Turk

Hi all, Kacper and I have been going back and forth a bit on getting FLASH memory usage down. I thought I knew the reason it was high, but turns out, I didn't. So after some experimentation, I think the reason is that the IO chunking was pulling the full dataset, since FLASH has only one "file" which was only giving it one method of subchunking. The heuristic right now is how many "grids" can be in a single chunk, and I've set this to be 1000. For FLASH this isn't so bad, but I wonder if Enzo and other patch datasets that have many grids in a single file might end up suffering. I don't know if it's too common for those data types to have >>1000 grids in a file (my outputs never did) but if it is, then there will be overhead to reading, iterating, reading, during data IO. Anyway, we're playing around with it here: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-request/962/wip-reduce-memory-usa… So if you want, try this out, let us know if it improves or degrades things. -Matt
