Attending
Tom, Thomas, Don, Hans, Beau, Xin, Walls, Luke
Minutes
Thomas
- Working with and testing OpenAD on MPAS prototype
	
- Fails on numerous structured, Fortran90 oriented capabilities
 - Working with Jean Utke of Argonne to resolve and understand incompatibilities
 - OpenAD team amenable to resolving issues together. The Argonne team does not yet view OpenAD as a turnkey solution; it still requires iterative tweaking
 
 
Don
- Documentation of wrf4DVar stand alone project
 
Beau
- Testing an porting to Macintosh
	
- Cleaning up code issues that arose from Mac-specific g95, pgi, and ifort compilation
 - Working on mpich incompatibility
 
 - wrf+ documentation additions
	
- namelist.input document improvements
 - Visual flowchart for test_solve_em()
 
 - Variable isolation
	
- Have isolated relevant variables
 - Working with Thomas N on pressure and rain bugs/ issues
 
 
Walls
- Summary report on optimization efforts
 - Working on bugs with Xin
 
Xin
- Resolving bugs in extra cost function for lateral boundary case
 - Working with Walls on wrf+ bug issues
 
Tom
- Compiling summaries for end-of-year ACAP status report, due Friday
 - Planning for multi incremental 4DVar
 
Action Items
- Thomas:
	
- Timing/benchmark data of mpas prototype for acaps report.
 - Check if Tapenade can handle allocated arrays.
 - Ask Argonne about coding standards for OpenAD use.
 
 - Don: report to Tom
 - Beau: Testing of just mu in wrf+ tests; resolve apparent pressure bug in variable isolation
 - Xin:
	
- Work with Walls to capture tests; bugs; and optimization efforts.
 - Document differences between Walls' "original" branch and the reference branch.
 - Investigate 4DVar crash after 20 time-steps (observed by Walls) on Bluefire with 32 procs and more.
 
 - Walls: investigate if the MPAS AD code generated with Tapenade can be optimized.
