Today's Tasks

Julie: I finished the Python assignment. I am making sure my solutions encompass all of the different ways to solve this, and will then start on the C++ project. 

Mitchell, Evelyn, Eliot, Ryan: Work through my bash project.

Leo: At 4 pm today Leo will begin his "physics of antennas" lecture series! 

Alex M: All scaling is corrected to be set at the bash script level. Alex is now going to work on commenting code!

Alex P: Still working on our AraSim edits!

TO-DO List

The following is our coding to-do list:

1. Get our Ara sim errors fixed

   1. Explanation of issue (1): Usually 1 of ~100 AraSim jobs never completes. OSC shows "completed", but the flag is never written and the output file is not filled in entirely. The error file shows the following.

      1. UPDATE: Alex still trying to figure out how to input Car's suggestion. He also needs to add this for the flag files that are being saved. Here is his most recent question:

Alright so I have pbsdcp working with generic files and I now have it working in the AraSim call but my current worry is that it wasn't creating a file unless I had

./AraSim setup.txt $runNum outputs/ a_${num}.txt > $AraSimDir/outputs/a_${num}.txt

So I just did this to have some a_1.txt, before we had the last line writing directly to our antennaPerformance metric (this makes the AraOut file typically I just kept it as this name for testing purporses), now if I get rid of the portion after the > or the part after outputs/ it doesn't seem to make a file that we need. I think I don't understand to get the full output of AraSim without using this. Because I don't understand how using this is and then using pbsdcp is any more efficient.

Now maybe if I had the portion right after the > go directly into TMPDIR instead of using pbsdcp to both scatter to and gather from TMPDIR that would be better

1. Make the following variables in the bash script. 

   1. UPDATE: Alex M. finished editing the scaling factor to be at the bash level for every piece of code that uses it. 

2. Turn tournament on in the GA. 

3. Parallelize the AraActualBicone job.

   1. The AraSim run in Gen 0 that gets Veff for the ARA actual bicone input file is not currently being parallelized.

4. Comment code thoroughly

   1. UPDATE: Alex commented code that utilized the scale factor (Part_E.sh). He is now going to begin commenting the other code to clean it up. We want it to be read as cleanly as our GA.
