Serialbox version 2.6.1

Improvements (#245)

Thanks to @ofuhrer, @rheacangeo.

k-buffering

• increase maximum number of buffers
• better error message

pp_ser

• allow to refer to savepoints via variables
• allow to load reference data from a separate directory

Bug fixes

• Remove hard-coded -march=native (#233)
• Fix mapping of std::int64_t in FortranWrapper, fixes a problem with MacOS (#244, #242 thanks @jdahm)

Infrastructure

Serialbox version 2.6.0

New feature: data_kbuff directive

Adds the possibility to serialize data inside a k-blocked region of code. It buffers data(:,:,k) for each k-iteration and serializes data(:,:,:) out once a field is completely filled.
New !$ser data_kbuff k_value=k k_size=nz name=field(:,:) that can be used as a drop-in replacement of !$ser data name=field(:,:,:) but within a k-loop.

Bug fixes

• Reverted libnames to v2.4 style: In v2.5.x the libraries had a Shared and Static suffix by mistake. If your setup relies on the exact names (i.e. you are not using the targets exported by CMake), you need to update to the new library names.

Infrastructure

• Moved from travis to github actions
• Converted all line endings to unix-style

Bug fixes

Core

• Update CMake to handle superbuild projects (#201)
• Support for Cray 8.7 compilation (#200) (thanks @wdeconinck)
• Cleanup SerialboxConfig.cmake: remove some boost settings (#217)

Python

• Handle boolean data field in compare.py (#212)
• Replace deprecated axisbg (in 2.0+ of matplotlib) by facecolor in visualizer.py (#216)

Testing

• Add arolla to the set of tested machines

Setup new kesch env

v2.4.4

Bug fixes

Bug fixes

• C: Don't overwrite json in read mode
• C: Respect zero size dimensions
• FTG: Bug fix in ftg_cmp_print_deviations_*
• Fortran, FTG: Support for strings in Fortran
• GridTools: Update to GridTools v0.21.0

Env update for Kesch test from 2.4.2

Update env for kesch-test

* update the env for kesch-test env

* add netcdf root

* fixin netcdf paths

Bug fixes

Bug fixes

• Fix CMake for case where NetCDF is enabled. Activate NetCDF tests on jenkins for gnu environment.
• Fix for Intel compiler: remove pointless init of boost::shared_ptr
• Support for shared Fortran library

Environment

• Fix pgi and gnu environment on tave

FTG

• For scalars, matching values are now printed by ftg_compare

FTG compare module and bug fixes

[FTG] compare module

Introduced new Fortran module m_ser_ftg_cmp.f90 which contains one public subroutine (interface) ftg_compare for the FTG interface that compares size and content of a passed variable with a stored one from the Serializer.

Bug fixes

• Fixed C library name in Python module serialbox/common.py => SerialboxCShared
• Compile gtest as static library

Environment

• Compile with gcc 5.3 on daint

Refactored CMake

Serialbox now exports targets in SerialboxConfig.cmake:

• SerialboxStatic (core library)
• SerialboxCStatic (C bindings)
• SerialboxFortranStatic (Fortran bindings)

Bug fixes

• The json library is removed from the public interface (resolves problems when compiling with user code with nvcc)
• [FTG] Fix segfault due to undefined pointers in ftg_allocate_and_read_pointer_*
