Albany TODOs

This page itemizes the current Albany TODOs, based largely on the moderated discussion session at the 2017 Albany User Meeting. This list will likely be moved to the Albany github page at a later date.

Project Management

• Come up with systematic way to "tax" current Albany projects to cover Dan Ibanez' time as Albany "shepherd".
• Move Albany to a different space on github than gahansen, after figuring out logistics for how to do this.

Code Maintenance

• Give Dan Ibanez access to machines where current CDash testing happens.
• Create "master" CDash tests with everything possible enabled.

Tpetra/Thyra/Kokkos Porting

• Convert the following physics/capabilities in Albany to Tpetra/Thyra:
  • ATO (in progress by Irina Tezaur)
  • QCAD (conversion needs to be completed)
  • MOR
  • Embedded UQ? Porting of embedded ensembles in in progress by Jeff Fike
  • Complete Tpetra transition for PDE-constrained optimization
• Remove Epetra from Albany? Issues with this include:
  • Certain physics/capabilities are still based on Epetra (see above)
  • Tpetra linear solvers not as performant as Epetra ones (affects FELIX in particular).
