  • When configuring cmake I get the first error, concerning a CMP0057 error.
    I get rid of it by editing the file Source/CmakeModules/MercuryDocumentation.cmake and commenting the first line (cmake_policy(SET CMP0057 NEW)).

Now the docker is tested on Windows(Enterpirse, with Hyper-V activated), Mac(10.15) and XUbuntu(18.04) with the possibility of sharing the files between the container and the host machine.

The draft instruction is on the confluence page: "Docker Instructions", please take a look and let me know if you have trouble in following that instruction.

Could someone download docker on his Windows(Professional) system and test it?

Hao needs to check if there is a possibility to make docker works also on Windows(Home).

If this is settled, we could use it for the MercuryDPM course.

Update: Docker works now, on Win, Mac, Linux, can be used in course

Jinja or Jinja2

Do we want to add a python interface to MercuryDPM in the future?

Would be useful to use in combination with GrainLearning.

We also have the Mercury command line interface, but that cannot pass functions.

Starts April 20; first week we give the MercuryDPM courses (April 27-May 22)

• Anthony Thornton Book Vrijhof or Performance Factory

There is a student from Erlangen (attanded DEM8) who might be interested in writing this interface in the MercuryMonth [from Hao]

• h.shi-1 remind him

Remind luca, Cambridge, paolo wants to come

Sebastian would like to come to MM.

Paolo: work from home

Johnny: ask via MercuryDPM team 

• We will use Google online tools to hold the MercuryMonth (action management team to set this up)

• Anthony Thornton link it on the MDPM website

Documentation/ needed for:

1. Advanced tutorials (written by the developers)
2. New tutorials
3. Interaction::computeNormalForce
4. Tutorials
5. Consolidation of coupling
6. Release
7. Marnix mu(I) code
8. STEP Files
9. Syndey demo programs for teaching
10. Add logo in MercuryDPM
11. Oomph: Non-dimensionalisation is needed, we need to find out why. Hong uses the output function to produce dimensional output.

Julius wants to use MPIIO for parallel output.

Julius showed profile of Mercury showing that most time is spent in computeForces(p,q). mcount, output is removed. virtual functions are still costly

Parallelisation works now; need to be included in MercuryDPM proper; first in Branch; with OMP library included in MDPM; to be discussed in Julius' meeting

0.2fte of his salary can be used to hire a technician. Any volunteers are welcome. Please contact Anthony.

Juan will work on management, documentation 8h/w
