Hello, Hello I'm getting this error when trying to run Sedov 3D MHD with OpenMP ``` amrex::Error::0::Couldn't open file: sedov_3d_plt00000.temp/Level_0/Cell_D_00000 !!! SIGABRT amrex::Error::0::Couldn't open file: sedov_3d_plt00000.temp/Level_0/Cell_D_00000 !!! SIGABRT amrex::Error::0::Couldn't open...

While resolving #2036 it was noticed that MHD wall-time performance wasn't scaling when adding additional cores.

The calculation of gwstrain() is quite inefficient. There are a lot of MultiFab::derive and then MultiFab::multiply operations. (The calculation itself, once the source fields are available, should not be that...

We should make more unit tests of the different Castro interfaces so we can add them to the CI. We should discuss how too best do this. Do we always...

We should be able to get both Strang and simplified-SDC built in the same executable once #1987 and #1988 are done. We might also need to merge the integrators in...

Now that we template the `eos_t`, do we still need an explicit `USE_EXTRA_THERMO` directive? This is one of the few compilation differences between Strang and simplified-SDC right now. Maybe this...

We only fill the normal velocity and pressure of the Godunov state when doing HLLC, and even this is in an approximate way that is inconsistent with HLLC. We should...

The only quantity in hydro that needs 4 ghost cells is pressure, and that's just because of the flattening algorithm. But we allocate `q`, `qaux`, and `src_q` all with 4...

performance

We should be able to reformulate the CTU method to do the species updates "on demand" by upwinding based on the contact speed (for non-HLL solvers), and therefore not need...

A three dimensional rotating star test would provide a relevant astrophysical test problem for Castro as well as allow a direct comparison with Octo-Tiger.
