Known Issues

Open tjhei opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

There are a few known issues with the current master version of ASPECT. If you have any questions about this, feel free to comment here or in the respective issues:

  • checkpointing/resume with large files (>4GB) fail, see #4349. Workaround: use deal.II 9.3.2 or newer
  • crashes related to periodic boundaries and adaptive refinement (#3262 https://github.com/dealii/dealii/pull/10604 ). No known workaround
  • system error crashes with the deal.II development version on some machines, see #4040. Workaround: use DEAL_II_NUM_THREADS=1
  • large vtu files fail to write with Intel MPI, see https://github.com/geodynamics/aspect/issues/4037#issuecomment-970717298
  • an installation of ASPECT version 2.3 (make install or using spack) can not be used to compile plugins, see #4498. Build ASPECT manually and/or switch to the development version.
  • If you encounter linking issues of ASPECT or deal.II (especially with Intel compilers, seen on TACC Stampede2 and Frontera) in the form "bad symbol offset", please specify -D DEAL_II_LINKER_FLAGS='-fuse-ld=bfd' as deal.II option.

Would the wiki be a better place to document these sorts of things?

I prefer this as it is much more visible.

updated to include #4040 and updated checkpointing workaround from 10.0 to 9.3.2.

Let me close this issue. It currently really only points to one open issue, but we haven't kept this issue here up to date. I think a better scheme would be to use labels on issues to indicate important bugs or issues.
