Implement GPU performance checker

1

We should have logic in the code that detects if we are likely going to have poor GPU performance, and aborts the run if so. The simplest logic here is...

In some cases at sharp composition gradients, the artificial viscosity may result in a term that is larger than the local flux, and in particular can flip the sign of...

It's possible for gamma to go negative when tracing if the timestep is much larger than it should be. Since the sound speed goes as sqrt(gamma), this results in c...

Several examples in the mhd category triggers not implemented error

1

The following examples in the mhd category (Castro v22.05) - BrioWu - DaiwoodWard - FastRarefaction - OrszagTang - RT triggers an not implemented error when setting a none zero value...

Remove grav_source_type and rot_source_type parameters

20

## PR summary The current default values (4 for both; the conservative energy formulation) are now the only option. Closes #156 ## PR checklist - [x] test suite needs to...

reassess parameter defaults

The default behavior of Castro should be to use the values of the runtime parameters that give the best accuracy or performance. Some default values have not been updated in...

advecting_white_dwarf setup sees substantial heating

4

This setup resembles the sort of advection across the grid seen in wdmerger. When running at the problem's default (low) resolution, the star heats to a maximum temperature of over...

[WIP] clean-up the transverse flux correction

1

## PR summary The transverse flux correction is done to the conserved interface state variables after we do the normal interface prediction. Previously we were doing a transverse correction on...

create a method to compute lateral average of state for derived quantities

1

It would be nice to be able to easily compute T' = T - as a derived variable for a plotfile. This means that we need to be able to...

experiment with the MultiFab version of ParallelFor

2

There is a version of ParallelFor that an iterate of MultiFabs directly. We should experiment with this in some places where we don't create a lot of temprary FABs.
