Agenda

Present:

Apologies:

Loopy sprint:

The sprint is happening next week.

Sophia: Arrange a meeting to prepare the sprint -> Advertise it in the loopy slack channel

Continuous Integration:

CI needs to be replaced for various reasons. Currently, the build testing is done via Jenkins.

We have got the money to replace it, we need to figure out how much work would that represent.

An alternative would be Github Actions, we would need to migrate little pieces from build into Github Actions. It runs the way end user would install.

-> Prototyping can be done using a machine on campus

Merge PRs:

  • CW: Refactoring assemble: Merged -> Cache parloops directly on the form and do other optimizations. -> Consequence: Speed up significantly assemble() (x4-5) at the cost of a small overhead for the internal API create_assembly_callable() (x2).

  • Annotate +=, *=, etc.: Merged -> Annotate augmented assignments. It basically puts an AssignBlock on the tape and encode the augmented assignment in the assign input. Adjoint does not do the right thing for *= and /= for nonlinear assignment.

  • Interior bcs: Review needed -> Remove the non topological identification of boundaries that consists in identifying the boundary nodes as those where the basis functions cancel out (implying that the nodes are dependent from the basis). Instead we only keep the topological association.
