Changes to the trunk
by Matthew Turk Nov. 21, 2009

Nov. 21, 2009

Hi there, Tonight I'm merging a bunch of changes from me, Britton Smith, John Wise and Stephen Skory back into the trunk from the mercurial repository. If you're running on the yt-1.5 source tree, this won't affect you -- but if you're running on trunk, the next time you update you will have to rerun "python2.6 setup.py develop" or "python2.6 setup.py install" depending on how you installed. If you used the install script, you should also be able to re-run it at any time to get an updated source tree and installation. There are no pressing fixes in this, only speed and memory improvements, so don't feel it's necessary to make the jump just now if you're happy with where you are. If you do update, here's a minor changelog: * Hierarchy is much faster, and the .yt file now only stores data products, all hierarchy info goes into a .harrays file (for forward compatibility with Enzo) * The attributes off the hierarchy for grids: gridLeftEdge and gridRightEdge are now grid_left_edge and grid_right_edge, in keeping with our coding standards * Hierarchy has been rewritten for *clarity* * The bug with DM-only sims has been fixed * IO routines have been refactored and very cleaned up * Preliminary particle IO readers have been added -- much, much faster, but not yet production-ready * New cloud-in-cell deposit function without needing fortran * Some other minor things to support coming features All the public and primary functions, classes etc should be the same. Thanks, and let us know if there are ANY problems! -Matt

Find clumps - callback
by Elizabeth Harper-Clark Nov. 19, 2009

Nov. 19, 2009

Hi Guys, I am (trying) to use the find_clumps routine to identify clumps in my data and I would then like to visualize it. How do I get the data from the find_clumps routine into the callback: p.modify["clumps"]() so I can put it on projections/slices? What should it then look like?

corrupt enzo restart file?
by Stephen Skory Nov. 16, 2009

Nov. 16, 2009

Hi all, I am getting this error <http://paste.enzotools.org/show/257/> when I attempt to instantiate the grid hierarchy. Here is my restart file <http://paste.enzotools.org/show/258/> and the corresponding hierarchy file <http://paste.enzotools.org/show/259/>. Does anyone see anything obviously wrong? I'm attempting to analyze a DM-only run with 2x grid to particle resolution, so I might have fudged something up. Thanks! _______________________________________________________ sskory(a)physics.ucsd.edu o__ Stephen Skory http://physics.ucsd.edu/~sskory/ _.>/ _Graduate Student ________________________________(_)_\(_)_______________

yt Version 1.5 Release Announcement
by Matthew Turk Nov. 4, 2009

Nov. 4, 2009

We're proud to announce the release of yt version 1.5, an analysis and visualization toolkit for Adaptive Mesh Refinement data. yt features native support for Enzo (http://lca.ucsd.edu/projects/enzo/) data, providing a natural and intuitive way to address physical regions in space as well as processed data. Version 1.5 features many new improvements, most prominently that of the addition of parallel computing abilities and generalization for multiple AMR data formats. Additional improvements include: * Fully rewritten documentation, featuring a new cookbook with downloadable recipes and commenting facilities * Extensive methods section of documentation * Fully parallel slices, projections, cutting planes, profiles, quantities * Parallel HOP halo finder * Friends-of-friends halo finder * Object storage and serialization * Major performance improvements to the clump finder (factor of five) * Generalized domain sizes * Generalized field info containers * Dark Matter-only simulation support * 1D and 2D simulation support * Better IO for HDF5 sets * Support for the Orion AMR code * Spherical re-gridding of data * Automated halo profiler and imager * Limited non-axially aligned projection support ("disk stacking") * Light cone generator * Callback interface improved * Several new plot overlay callbacks * New data objects -- ortho and non-ortho rays, limited ray-tracing * Fixed resolution buffers * Spectral integrator for CLOUDY data * Substantially better interactive interface * Performance improvements *everywhere* * Command-line interface to *many* common tasks * Isolated plot handling, independent of PlotCollections Installation instructions, documentation, recipes, mailing list info and assorted other items can be found at the website, http://yt.enzotools.org/ . This release is the product of a year of work by the development team, and we are very proud of the results and happy with what we have to offer. Thanks very much! Sincerely, The yt development team: Matthew Turk Britton Smith Jeff Oishi Stephen Skory Sam Skillman Devin Silvia John Wise David Collins
