Hi, Everybody! Does anyone out there have a technique for getting the variance out of a profile object? A profile object is good at getting <X> vs. B, I'd then like to get < (X - <X>)^2 > vs B. Matt and I had spittballed the possibility some time ago, but I was wondering if anyone out there had successfully done it. Thanks, d. -- Sent from my computer.

EnzoDatasetInMemory not working in parallel

by Britton Smith

Hi all, I've recently been trying to use yt's inline analysis functionality with Enzo and am having some difficultly getting it to work in parallel. I am using the development tip of yt. In serial, everything works fine, but in parallel, I get the following error: http://paste.yt-project.org/show/5694/ It seems that the issue is that yt is not correctly identifying which grids are available on a given processory for the EnzoDatasetInMemory object. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this? Has anyone else seen this? For reference, my user_script is just this: import yt from yt.frontends.enzo.api import EnzoDatasetInMemory def main(): ds = EnzoDatasetInMemory() ad = ds.all_data() print ad.quantities.total_quantity("cell_mass") Thanks for any help, Britton

Apply now for the Python in Astronomy 2016 conference! (21-25th March 2016)

by Thomas Robitaille

Dear colleagues, We are very pleased to inform you that applications are now open for the Python in Astronomy 2016 conference: Python in Astronomy University of Washington eScience Institute Seattle, WA, USA 21-25th March 2016 http://python-in-astronomy.github.io/2016/ This meeting aims to bring together researchers, Python developers, users, and educators, and will include presentations, tutorials, unconference sessions, and coding sprints. In addition to sharing information about state-of-the-art Python Astronomy packages, the workshop will also focus on improving interoperability between astronomical Python packages, providing training for new contributors, and developing educational materials for Python in Astronomy. The meeting is therefore aimed not only at current developers, but also users and educators who are interested in being involved in these efforts. Note that this meeting is not intended to be a Python 'boot camp', and we do expect participants to have already at least used Python for some of their projects, even if only at a beginner level. To apply, please go to the following page: http://python-in-astronomy.github.io/2016/ and follow the link to the application form. Applications should be submitted by 9th October 2015 at the latest, and we hope to let you know by mid- to late November whether you have been accepted. Contingent on sponsorship, we hope to offer financial support for travel for a few participants. If you would like to apply for financial support, please indicate this in the last section of the application form. Please forward this email to anyone who may be interested! Best regards, The organizing committee: Kelle Cruz Perry Greenfield Eric Jeschke Mario Juric Stuart Mumford Chanda Prescod-Weinstein Thomas Robitaille Megan Sosey Erik Tollerud Jake Vanderplas

PHOX implementation

by Barbara Ramirez

Hello again John! I'm not sure what you mean with changing the number of chunks in the .yt/config file? I did change the number of chunks and lowered the exposition time to get one photon list, but is that list enough? Don't I need to merge it with another observation? Or you meant changing the photon_per_chunk parameter somewhere else in the yt code? Or perhaps you meant I should try the first option (run it in a machine with more RAM / parallel)? I'll try that right now anyway! Thanks for everything, I'll keep an eye on the patch! Barbara ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Barbara, Any chance you could try the option I mentioned where you change number of chunks in the .yt/config file? That way you might be able to avoid doing merging altogether. This is a bug I fixed yesterday?when I have some way of getting the patch to you I will let you know. This happens when you choose parameters for project_photons that would result in a higher number of photons being drawn than exist in the original set that you generated. I?m going to change this error message so it?s more informative. Best, John

Re: [yt-users] optimal resolution for frb

by Slavin, Jonathan

Hi Nathan, Thanks very much for the detailed response. I had no idea that ds.index contains so much information. I've looked at the grid data for a simulation I did and it's quite revealing. Unfortunately for my case, a 2D simulation, it seems that ds.index.get_smallest_dx() includes the third (unused) dimension, which for some reason is given a (very small) thickness in FLASH data. As a result, I get that very small dimension from ds.index.get_smallest_dx(). Nevertheless, it seems that it should possible to get the smallest grid dimension in each direction via the use of ds.index.grids.RightEdge and ds.index.grids.LeftEdge. I'm working on it now.

Error updating yt3.1 to yt.3.2.1

by Joshua Wall

Dear YT users, I have yt installed with pip, and it reports being version 3.1. However I'd like to use the new particle plot function, so I tried updating it with sudo pip install -U yt and got the error: Downloading/unpacking yt from https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/y/yt/yt-3.2.1.tar.gz#md5=5cda4af043… Downloading from URL https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/y/yt/yt-3.2.1.tar.gz#md5=5cda4af043… Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip_build_root/yt/setup.py) egg_info for package yt Cython is a build-time requirement for the source tree of yt. Please either install yt from a provided, release tarball, or install Cython (version 0.22 or higher). You may be able to accomplish this by typing: pip install -U Cython So I did this. Then I checked Cython with cython --version, it reports version 0.23.2, but the same yt install error remains when I attempt an update. I'm guessing there is something I need to refresh, but I'm unsure of how to do this. Thanks for the assistance, Josh -- Joshua Wall Doctoral Candidate Department of Physics Drexel University 3141 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104

optimal resolution for frb

by Slavin, Jonathan

Hi all, I've been doing FLASH runs in 2D and using yt to manipulate the data for display -- that is, I've been creating frb objects from slices (which are not really slices since the data is 2D anyways). One thing that bothers me about this is the need to specify the dimensions of the frb. For some reason 800 x 800 seems to be preferred in the yt docs, but it seems to me that there are certain optimal dimensions that depend on the grid structure. For example an frb that uses pixels the size of the smallest resolution element/cell or some integer multiple of that (of course less refined cells would be split into multiple pixels). How would one find what that grid size would be? I guess what I'd need to know is the dimensions of that most refined cell in the computational grid. How does one access the grid structure information in a dataset? Jon -- ________________________________________________________ Jonathan D.
