Run-time I/O and Multiple-Core work for Jan. 1st is complete now.
Need to finish up the mesh specification document.
- Boundaries are defined as cellsOnEdge containing a 0 as either of the cell IDs.
- The 0 cell should always be cell2.
Need to add the required attributes from the mesh specification document to mesh generators
The current time manager has some issues:
- 4 digit years
- Integer overflow with large time intervals
- Time intervals that cannot include months and years
- As a result, the fixes for these issues will be scoped out at a later point, but we could consider writing a custom time manager.
Next Run-time I/O and Multiple-Core work items are the namespace conflicts.
- Beginning with: Variable pools
- Developers need to be aware of the impacts of this within each core.
- A design document will be started for this project but it should encompass:
  - Variable collections (var_structs)
  - Variable pools (individual vars)
  - Namelist pools (To replace configure)
  - Possibly constant pools as well. (Might be able to use namelist pools)
