I think the fast/slow distinction can be made at the CMake level instead of the filesystem level. You can probably introduce some kind of `ENABLE_SLOW_TESTS` and start putting `if(ENABLE_SLOW_TESTS)` around...

So, there is a lot of confusion generated about why I want to separate things by disk space. If it were up to me, Albany would be two separate repositories:...

Hmm.. on closer inspection of Tpetra's definition, only the owned maps can ever be "contiguous" https://trilinos.org/docs/dev/packages/tpetra/doc/html/classTpetra_1_1Map.html#aa6cea53165b7f4d3dbec708d47996c4b And thats if they also do global numbering such that each rank's owned global...

- If the model evaluator returns blocked objects, there is a casting issue unless we actually use Teko - The Discretization is right now responsible for the DOF maps, consider...

Some initial debugging suggests that our concern is valid: ``` DEBUG: computing residual in step 0, scaling it by scaleVec from step -2 DEBUG: computing residual in step 0, scaling...

@rppawlo Right now all the scaling logic is hardcoded deep in Albany, and the scaling happens before we return the Residual and Jacobian from our Thyra ModelEvaluator. The scaling factors...

If we just require Kokkos to be available at compile time, we can make this a runtime instead of a compile-time decision. Like: ```cpp if (kokkos) { Kokkos::parallel_for(...); } else...

The organization of tests into a "large" directory was based entirely on an effort to reduce the size of the Albany source repository. I wanted to move all tests to...

Yea, the Panzer parser is a Trilinos version of things I've written to solve the problem of evaluating expressions on GPUs. it was commissioned by Eric Cyr but I don't...
