Dear Leo,

Thank you for your answer and for sharing your experience.
No, I hadn't received a reply to my question yet.

So it seems that macros such as @ALLOCATION@ (or any other SimFactory 
placeholder) can be changed via :

  *
either editing the <machine>.ini file
  *
or specifying the relevant command line option (i.e., among the ones that come 
up when doing "./simfactory/bin/sim --help").

And if I understand correctly, it seems that whatever is specified as a 
command-line option for sim takes priority over what is specified in the 
configuration files.
Is this correct?

If yes, then these placeholders could be simply left alone when editing the 
submitscript and runscript, and set via the respective sim command-line option 
when submitting a simulation. Right?

And to reiterate part of my initial question:

  *
If these @FOO@ macros for SimFactory are documented somewhere, I would be 
grateful if you could point me to the relevant page.
  *
If such documentation does not exist, then it is also ok, and this empirical 
understanding will have to suffice for now. I was just asking to make sure I 
was not missing some obvious documentation source.

Best,
Panayotis

Dear Iosif,

I hope this message finds you well.

I'm not sure you already got a reply, but in case you haven't, my understanding 
is that placeholders like @FOO@ are there to indicate things you need to change 
yourself, manually.

So when you see something like:

#SBATCH -A @ALLOCATION@

then it means you should replace @ALLOCATION@ with the name of your allocation 
in the specific cluster.

Someone else can correct me if this is not correct, but that's how I usually 
handle these.

Cheers,
Leo

Hi,

I have been following this document, 
https://einsteintoolkit.org/seminars/2022_02_24/index.html , to set up ET on my 
cluster, working also on some example configuration files.

While preparing the submit and run scripts, I wanted to check the description 
of the @FOO@ macros that SimFactory uses.

I checked these places but found no information.

  *
https://simfactory.bitbucket.io/simfactory2/userguide/ (no mention of macros)
  *
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simulation_Factory_Advanced_Tutorial 
(1 mention of the @USER@ macro and a pointer to a section 
#Macros<https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simulation_Factory_Advanced_Tutorial#Macros>
 that seems missing)
  *
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Configuring_a_new_machine (there is no 
information on the submitscript and runscript)

So I would like to ask:

If e.g. I have this line in my submitscript:
#SBATCH -A @ALLOCATION@

Where is @ALLOCATION@ "read" from?

My guess is that this is specified in the .ini file in this line:
allocation = <project_account>

Could you confirm if this is the case?

Is there another source of documentation (that I might have missed) describing 
what these @FOO@ placeholders do?

Best regards,
Panagiotis

Hi people,

I have used ReadInterpolate successfully for different applications in the 
past. I'm now trying to use it to interpolate onto a new grid that has 5 ghost 
zones i.e.:

CoordBase::boundary_size_x_lower     = 5
CoordBase::boundary_size_y_lower     = 5
CoordBase::boundary_size_z_lower     = 5
CoordBase::boundary_size_x_upper     = 5
CoordBase::boundary_size_y_upper     = 5
CoordBase::boundary_size_z_upper     = 5
Driver::ghost_size                   = 5
GRHydro::GRHydro_stencil             = 5
But I'm getting this error:

CCTK_Proc569.err <==

/home/mvxcombi/ET_Zelmani/Cactus/arrangements/EinsteinInitialData/ReadInterpolate/src/read.c:559:

The original grid has 3 ghost zones. I'm using the following parfile:

"

# Fixing the read-in data
# -----------------------
ReadInterpolate::shift_read_datasets_by[0] = 0.
ReadInterpolate::shift_read_datasets_by[1] = 0.
ReadInterpolate::shift_read_datasets_by[2] = 0.

ReadInterpolate::enforce_symmetries_after_reading = no  # Default
ReadInterpolate::fix_cell_centered_origins        = no  # Default

Any suggestions on how to solve this issue?

Thanks a lot!!
