 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 |

|
Work in progress. Update on H-pol XF design. The first plot is the gain pattern with ferrite rod sets (blue) vs. with nothing but the copper plates.
The second plot is the gain pattern with everything but the ferrite rod sets vs. with nothing but the copper plates.
The ferrite rod sets function to narrow the gain pattern. |

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

Wed Dec 2 15:24:39 2020, Alex M, Guide for Loop Errors
|
Attached is a .txt file you can find in the Evolutionary_Loop directory as Loop_Error_List.txt. It's a list of the current errors we sometimes experience
in the loop, along with how to fix them if you encounter them while running. If people encounter errors that aren't in the list, let everyone know
in the #genstudents chat on slack and update the file with the error message and when it was encountered (what state the loop was in) and the possible |

Mon Jun 5 15:00:07 2023, Ryan Debolt, Github tests
|
We want to automate tests in pull requests in GitHub to run unit tests on individual functions to ensure they return the expected results. This will
help prevent bugged code from being pushed to working branches. We will add a list of unit tests to this ELOG as we design them.

Thu Jun 29 12:05:45 2023, Alex M, Gain at various source heights 17x
|
Here are a collection of antenna gain patterns with the antenna power source located at various heights at 500 MHz. The heights are indicated in the
name of the images and were located at 3cm, 6cm, 12cm, and 24cm from the base. One thing to note is that the power source becomes longer as a function
of height (since it's connected to the ridges, which slope back). |

As of 01/30/2020, the proposal was submitted! The project description and summary are attached below.
Bicone Loop Status Update:
The loop currently runs; however, it does seem
that if AraSim jobs are left to run while the user is away, it doesn't properly write one or more of the flags, and makes the loop get stuck at |

This is an entry for the usual Wednesday working meeting GENETIS holds. We are largely carrying on from last week's hackathon hammering out the remaining
pieces that need to be fixed. See the previous ELOG post for a list of those.

Attendance: Julie, Evelyn, Mitchell, Ryan, Alex M.
Since we have been having issues with the lack of availability of GPUs on OSC, we have come up with a new to-do list:
Try to keep running on Pitzer with 1 core instead of 40. Based on first attempts, it is saying this will reduce wait times to ~3 hours |

Mon Sep 14 17:23:26 2020, Alex M, GENETIS Update 9/14/20
|
I just wanted to give an update on what I've been doing today for GENETIS. I went ahead and recorded myself running the loop. It should be useful
for new people we're onboarding but I also went through a whole generation, which I think is interesting for everyone to understand the timescale of
each part of the loop. I'm making a small edit (I have no clue how to edit videos haha) so once I'm done I'll try to send it via email and |
