@Scot Breitenfeld ​

high-level editing tools for the documentation page

@Marc Poinot @Christopher Rumsey ​

Help needed to divide the remaining tasks:

https://github.com/CGNS/cgns.github.io/projects/1

The documentation goes into the source using Doxygen. This work uses the “Doxygen” branch. Examples are given for cg_open and cg_version. The aliases used for repeated variable descriptions are in src/Doxygen/Doxygen.config. We need volunteers to help with translating the remaining APIs to Doxygen.

• A link to the new website is provided on the main cgns web page: https://cgns.github.io/cgns-modern.github.io/index.html

• All the MLL APIs have Doxygen entries, the cgio APIs need to be done next.

• An automatic generation of the website through GitHub action is done.

Still in progress.

Converting CGNSTalk archive to Github Discussion Posts

@Scot Breitenfeld

Hope to be completed by next meeting.

New features being introduced

@Scot Breitenfeld

subfiling, and multidataset updates.

Open

Github Issues

@Scot Breitenfeld

Discussion moving from Jira to GitHub issues to track code issues.

1. Approved to move from Jira to GitHub issues.

Discussion Topic

@ZJ Wang

Short discussion on past AMR CPEX (0008) and whether AMR should be revisited as a feature supported CGNS. Some groups may be already using CGNS with AMR, but not known for certain. The need for AMR support in CGNS is unknown.

@Vicky Moschou @Tobias Leicht @ZJ Wang to discuss progressing CPEX 0008.

No new updates.

Status update on Accepted CPEX #0045

https://cgnsorg.atlassian.net/browse/CGNS-182

@Koen Hillewaert

The branch CPEX45_high_order has not been updated since Feb 25, 2020. An update from @Koen Hillewaert on the status is needed.

@Scot Breitenfeld will get an update on the status.

Discussion Topic

@Mickael PHILIT

Proposal to have Monitoring numerical probes description to the standard. Some groups may already use CGNS to do that, but there is a need to have a shared approach.

No new updates.

Status update on Accepted CPEX #0047 Proposed Data integration Points

@Mickael PHILIT

Working on the new website before creating a new development branch to prevent duplicating efforts.

Started prototyping with python and C and will push a branch on GitHub in the upcoming weeks. (The “C” branch is a slow work in progress)

No new updates.

prioritization, review and attribution of JIRA bugs/issues

@Tony Garratt @David Gutzwiller ​

Next release 4.4.0, Kanban:

General Kanban Board:

https://cgnsorg.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=3&projectKey=CGNS&selectedIssue=CGNS-190

ISSUE CARRIED OVER:

Platform proposals
Windows is under-tested. Suggest Test C and Fortran serial and parallel on Windows 10 x64 as a bare minimum

Do we test both 32bit (legacy) and 64bit API? It's a minor point, but it would a good idea to add 32bit to at least one Linux and Windows

NEW (June 2021). We need to add Intel OneAPI compilers to the list of supported compilers (note: OneAPI C/C++ compiler is very different to existing legacy one)

Bug list:

A priority of bugs to fix in next release

#1

​Crucial to Ansys. Although most HPC is Linux, project set-up often was done on Windows and import/export/sharing of mesh/solution done on Windows, while most runs performed on Linux clusters

• important to have parallel working

#4

#5

#6

@Scot Breitenfeld is working on updating the Multi-dataset APIs in CGNS to use the new array-based API and is testing CGNS with the new HDF5 subfiling feature.
