Feb 1, 2026February 2026 — idaholab/moose: Focused on distributed scalability, correctness, and test reliability. Key features delivered include Nemesis support for solutionUO base references (refs #32288), distributed mesh support with tests and a replication option to mitigate ghosting/partitioning, symmetry boundary conditions support for linear FV flow physics, and a mesh renumber option to improve memory locality. In addition, test infrastructure modernization and expanded test coverage were pursued, along with documentation updates to strengthen SQA. Major bugs fixed during the month included the symmetry walls pressure term bug (previously prevented using the 2-term pressure on symmetry walls), friction type error message in flow physics, and cleanup such as removing a deprecated MG name from subMG usage. There were also improvements in event ownership clarity in step interval output and related solver messaging to reduce confusion during runs. These fixes contributed to more robust simulations and clearer diagnostics across platforms. Overall impact: These efforts enhanced scalability and reliability of distributed simulations, improved physical accuracy for symmetric domains, and strengthened the developer experience and governance through better test coverage, harness modernization, and documentation. The work supports broader platform compatibility (including tet14 tests on all platforms) and improved reproducibility across architectures. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++ feature work, distributed testing patterns, test harness modernization (Python-based test discovery and harness improvements), enhanced parameter handling and code clarity (enum handling with strings, lambdas to reduce duplication), and comprehensive documentation/SQA updates.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 (2025-11) performance summary for idaholab/moose. The month focused on delivering a mix of new capability, robustness improvements, and maintainability enhancements across the physics stack, with a clear emphasis on business value and reliability. Key features delivered: - Polyline generator along a nodeset with sphere heuristic: implemented a new mesh/polyline generator that follows a nodeset using a sphere heuristic, including test coverage and documentation; added a second heuristic to ignore nodes. This enables more flexible geometry generation for complex meshes and improves modeling fidelity with minimal user intervention. (Commits: e97c9376..., 800a964c..., 422d0dcc..., ecb842ea...) - 2D Newton solver enhancements: extended the 2D Newton solver to support degenerate case 1D solves, added debugging information, and tuned parameters (tolerance and iteration limits). Also added support for computing rho from p and T using VE tabulations, enabling more robust coupled solves. (Commits: f57b8a4b..., 50d01191..., ae43a6cf..., 65555bbd...) - VE/VP tabulation derivatives and FP integration for p,T and v,e workflows: introduced derivatives-enabled VE/VP tabulations and supporting functions to enable derivative-driven workflows, including FP source handling and GlobalParams FP compatibility. (Multiple commits across this area) - Distributed multigrid restriction improvement: restricted distributed multigrid usage to edge/quad/hex topologies to simplify templating and improve scalability. (Commit: db0f1d53...) - Testing, documentation, and quality improvements: expanded test coverage for degenerate Newton solves, fluid properties, and test reliability; improved documentation formatting and dedicated references pages for linear WCNSFV; improved logging and I/O consistency; refactoring I/O to Moose::out. (Multiple commits) Major bugs fixed: - Tabulation loading robustness and IO: prevented empty columns, validated initial guesses, and improved error messages when loading VE and p/T tabulations to reduce user confusion and failures. (Commits: 55f4dd4d..., ac3f8443..., 9f8fdd86...) - Serial mesh gating: limited mesh generation to serial meshes to avoid parallel-induced issues and incompatibilities. (Commit: fc9fd02a...) - Robustness and regression fixes: addressed segmentation faults, restart issues, and scaling in turbulent diffusion; refined initialization and passthrough handling to stabilize runs. (Commits: 758092a..., 5e1e70a..., 79da6750...) - Timestep failure handling and recovery: enhanced time-step control, cache management, and restepping logic to recover from failed steps without disturbing restarts. (Commits: 22839588..., f0e41ac9..., c2104993..., f2ae6a9a...) - ERCOFTAC input and time-related cleanup: fixed deviatoric term for regular mu, removed unused time interval parameter, and resolved related test issues to improve stability of ERCOFTAC scenarios. (Commits: 49ef45fd..., e04dff38..., a4d381cc...) - Test reliability and coverage: addressed test failures, improved initial guesses, and expanded validation to cover AD, VE, p/T tabulations, and surface/volume junction scenarios. (Multiple commits: 7a52ad70..., feeeae72..., 9314b18a..., d56752ec..., 1fe305c3..., 1e83a5ed...) Overall impact and accomplishments: - The month delivered high-value capabilities for complex physics workflows (VE/VP tabulations, AD-enabled derivatives, and robust 2D Newton solves) while stabilizing core execution through serial constraints, improved IO, and reliability fixes. These changes enable more accurate, derivative-driven simulations with better error reporting, maintainability, and scalability. The combination of new features, targeted bug fixes, and quality improvements reduces risk for production runs and accelerates adoption of advanced multiphysics capabilities. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - C++/Moose framework enhancements, AD derivative workflows, and VE/VP tabulations - Kokkos gating and feature-guarded code paths for portability - Robust testing practices: expanded unit/regression tests and improved test reliability - Improved I/O and logging practices (Moose::out) and documentation quality - Performance-conscious changes: targeted MG gating and topology restrictions to optimize distributed execution
