|
This entry will serve to summarize what tasks we've completed and still need to complete after last week's GENETIS hackathon.

My focus was on the XF scripting for making the PUEO antenna. Before last week, we had a script which made the geometry of a PUEO-like antenna. |

How To Update PueoSim For GENETIS:
First, whoever updates pueoSim needs access to pueoBuilder, pueoSim, and niceMC on GitHub (ask Will for permissions). |

|
I've been building in XF and have ran into some issues but currently have the following completed:
- Struts are placed, though they are not evenly spaced and the same. I have contacted XF to try and figure out how to get rotation/patterns to
do what we need |

Attendance: Julie Rolla, Alex M.
Today Alex and I met to discuss how to move forward given the COVID-19 restrictions. We have resent out a message polling people's schedules
to create online working sessions. Here is what we are planning: |

This is a multigenerational tracing of our second-best individual's parents and children:
The second-best individual in this evolution was
Bicone 22 from generation 40. This individual is, in fact, a fascinating case as we shall see. But to start the story of this individual we will go back |

Tue Aug 9 15:28:50 2022, Ryan Debolt, How many individuals to use in the GA.
|
One of our foundational questions tied to the optimization of the GA has been "How many individuals should we simulate". Up to now, our minds
were made up for us by the speed of arasim being great enough that the time cost of simulating individuals was great enough that the improvements made
from having more were not enough to justify the slowdown. However, with the upgrade to the faster, more recent version of arasim, I decided to re-examine |

|
We are almost to where we can start the physical building of the antenna!
I've attached all the information I currently have regarding the building project. Some of it is messy work notes and some is well-structured.
I’ve attached the following files for the GENETIS building project: |

Here are some scholarships available to physics majors I've been lucky enough to receive throughout undergrad that allowed me to work on this project
unpaid without needing supplemental income from a separate job or loans.

Attached is the license agreement that each person should sign to be able to use XF on OSC. You can sign it, send it to Amy, and she will return
it to OSC with her signature on it. |

Wed Aug 2 12:49:57 2023, Dylan Wells, Line of Best-Fit Straightened Sides Antenna
|
Previously, we have tried to straighten the sides of the best-evolved curved antenna in elog
229. However, there were potential issues with how closely this line resembled the curve of the antenna.
So, I attempted to create another straightened sides antenna using a linear regression model to find the best fitting line for the curve to create |

|
Currently, the PUEO loop runs pueoSim with 1 pueoSim process per job submitted.
Each of these jobs has 1 node and 8 cores, however, pueoSim only needs a single core to run.
Here is some data I collected by running the same seed of pueoSim with different numbers of cores in the job: |

After discretizing and straightening the sides of the curved antenna that performed the best (Generation 13, individual 84) and running the antenna through
AraSim, the following results and physics plots were generated. |
