Known bugs and limitations

RH 1.5D is always evolving, and there are likely to be bugs and limitations. If you find bugs, please file them as issues on github. They will be dealt with as time permits.

Current issues

  • Check the github RH issues page for an updated list.
  • If the scratch or output directories are not present, the code will crash. The error message is not very clear.
  • In keyword.input, if one sets a SNAPSHOT value to be more than what is in the atmosphere file, the code will stop with an error message: Index exceeds dimension bound. This error should be made more clear.
  • The atom files must not end with a blank line, otherwise gencol will fail and the program stops.
  • Line buffered or full buffered log options still require the user to change the source code.
  • Depth refinement fails in some cases due to problems caused by cubic interpolation artefacts.
  • Using more than 4000 cores and writing full output may cause I/O slowdowns and Lustre contention in some systems.

Planned features

  • Support for multiple snapshots in the output files.
  • pool mode be more flexible, with the possibility of several overlord nodes, useful for running with more than 4000 processes.
  • More flexible control of what output is written.
