November 2024 Monthly Summary for amrvac/AGILE-experimental focused on API usability, GPU data management, test efficiency, and code hygiene. Key features delivered include exposing reconstruct_LR_gpu as a public API in mod_finite_volume_all (API surface change only; no functional changes); OpenACC data management improvements for bg and ps with validation prints for data integrity; OpenACC data region updates to synchronize bg on the GPU at every time step to maintain CPU-GPU consistency; test suite optimization by reducing grid sizes to speed up tests and lower resource usage; and a typo fix in the finite volume module affecting parallel directives.
