LIVVkit v3.1.0

We are pleased to present LIVVkit v3.1.0

LIVVkit is a Python-based toolkit for verification and validation of Ice Sheet
Models. It aims to provide the following capabilities:

• Model V&V

  • Numerical verification -- "Are we solving the equations correctly?"
  • Physical validation -- "Are we using the right physics?"

• Software V&V

  • Code verification -- "did we build what we wanted?"
  • Performance validation -- "did we build what the users wanted?"

You can view the latest documentation here.

Changelog

• Fail more gracefully if performance files aren't found
• Ability to add title to the log file section header to distinguish benchmark from test logs
• Some pre-compatibility with upcoming MALI bundle so CISM bundle continues to behave as it should

Changelog:

3.0.0 release:

• Drops python 2 support -- -- commitment to supporting latest 3 python versions (currently python 3.6--3.8)
• More control over multiprocessing pool including the ability to not use multiprocessing (serial option)
• LIVVkit Elements have been moved from a basic dictionary to a class representation:
  • elements have multiple _repr_* methods defined to produce a JSON, HTML, or LaTeX representation of the element when writing the report
  • _repr_* methods use jinja2 templates that are defined by an instances _*_template attribute/property and so can be customized on a per-instance basis (!) instead of globally
  • table elements support Pandas DataFrames
• References can be defined in a Bibtex file and will display on the analysis report page
• Significantly reduced the amount of custom JavaScript used to display the HTML report.
• Clean up of the documentation
• Output website no longer requires explicitly writing index.html in the page URLs
• Lots of community improvements such as a code of conduct, issue and PR templates, etc

Changelog:

This release represents significant improvements to the website, extensions infrastructure, API.

API:

• LIVVkit can now be modified to use custom css, js, and/or image directories allowing for a custom website look
• Numpy arrays will now be serialized when saving to a JSON file automatically (via json-tricks)
• NaNs can be dumped to JSON files
• JSON errors are handled appropriately
• Extensions can be launched quietly
• Optional decorator has been replaced with better exception handling
• livv script will now fire up a simple http server for viewing the website locally

Extensions:

• Full extensions modules/packages can be imported (instead of just individual scripts), and more helpful error messages are generated
• Metadata for the summary page can be personalized for each test case and the summaries no longer have to be grouped
• livv script now how a more general -e/--extension option (currently wraps -V/--validate)
• Extensions can include a YAML file describing additional dependencies needed, and import failures in the extension will suggest a conda command to update the dependencies

Website:

• Display elements have been added:
  • VTable for tables with vertical headers
  • VHTable for tables with both vertical and horizontal headers
  • book element for extensions that create multiple webpages
  • (raw) HTML display element
• jquery and jquery-ui are now distributed for better offline support
• captionjs and lightbox2 now make images much nicer

Other:

• Documentation now uses the python 3 theme
• Documentation now takes advantage of sphinx-js to document js docs
• Documentation has been significantly updated
• More support for OLCF machines
