Python 76b

• Significant progress in reporting in this version.
  • kpar is now included in python directly
  • Thread 0 is the only one which prints to screen
  • the exception being with parallel messages, which are printed to screen for all threads using new kpar function Log_parallel
  • Error summaries are collated with scripts py_error.py and watchdog.py
  • xsignal only writes to sig file for zeroth thread
  • Diag file now saved under diag_root folder
  • multiple printf and comment statement cleanup
• Bugfixes
  • #29 free free issues- some major free free issues fixed by NSH
    • Fixed errors in the calculation of gaunt factors
    • Error in Z in Sutherland data gives wrong f-f- heating for nenautral H regions
    • Error in reset of array pop_kappa_ff_array() gives too high f-f heating
  • #23 printf statements in code- largely dealt with
  • Bug fix in rtheta.c check which fails when grid not square due to incorrect MDIM, NDIM order
  • #28 wrong collisional deactivation rate in matom()
  • #31 incorrect loop in bf_estimators_increment which reporting wrong matom heating
  • Incorrect helper array sizes in python.c- this is a fairly major change in terms of lines of code
  • #38 incorrect assigning or t_r in p_escape, very minor
  • #30 gcc compilation error
  • #41 r-theta runs cannot be restarted
• makefile syntax edited to make D python for debugging mode. Makefile uses mpicc but can specify gcc with CC=gcc
• Code improvements / enhancements
  • Incorporated a new scheme for zeus data. Now if you ask for rtheta with 'proga' it generates a grid based on the zeus grid
  • changes to ionization.c and wind_updates2d.c to move adiabatic cooling from part of the temperature dependant cooling into the 'fixed' heating side
  • Minor change to py_wind_sub, velocity components now correctly written to x,y,z files rather than rho, theta, z files. Also py_wind_write now outputs x and z coordinates to 4 dp, which permits r theta grids to be properly described
  • Changes to the 'e' option in pywind, to get it to report all heating and cooling mechanisms correctly
  • maximum temperature implemented in ionization.c for proga models
  • kpar is now included directly in python which is reflected in new .c files and the makefile
• Files changed:
  • too many to list
  • major changes in
    • rtheta.c, python.c, ionization.c
  • new files included directly in python
    • log.c, rdpar.c
• Limitations
  • Note that this release does not yet include bugfixes to macro atom issues #37, #40 and #43 as they are still a work in progress
  • We also still ahve the problem of linearly interpolating between Xsections, #45.
• Error reporting python scripts py_error.py and watchdog.py are attached

kpar_76b_2

This is kpar_76_b_2, for use with Python 76b_dev and upcoming 76b release.

EDIT: This is no longer required in Python.

Python 76a

• Precursor is Python 76
• Certain features have been parallelised
  • ionization cycles photon propagation
  • ionization cycles spectrum
  • ionization cycles wind update
  • makefile now uses mpicc
• certain mpi libraries now used in python.h
• Files edited:
  • Makefile
  • python.h
  • python.c
  • wind_updates.c
