* fix a bug found by Yosef Zlochower:jthorn2005-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a multiprocessor run, AHFinderDirect finds different horizons in parallel on different processors, and doesn't broadcast horizon shapes to all processors unless it thinks they'll be needed. However, the "the information will be needed" calculation doesn't take into account the possibility of the HorizonRadiusInDirection() aliased function being called on another processor, and in this case this function returns a wrong result if AHFinderDirect hasn't broadcast the horizon shapes. * introduce a new Boolean parameter always_broadcast_horizon_shape (defaults to false) * document in interface.ccl, param.ccl, and doc/documentation.tex, that this parameter should be set to true if you expect HorizonRadiusInDirection() to be used * inclusive-or this parameter into the "should we broadcast the horizon shape?" calculation in src/driver/find_horizons.cc git-svn-id: http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/cactus/EinsteinAnalysis/AHFinderDirect/trunk@1419 f88db872-0e4f-0410-b76b-b9085cfa78c5

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on a per-horizon basis: The old parameter set_mask is now replaced by two new parameters: set_mask_for_all_horizons set_mask_for_individual_horizon[n] For most purposes, you can just change set_mask to set_mask_for_all_horizons in your parameter files. If you really want to control the setting of the mask on a per-horizon basis, read section 4.6 in the thorn guide to find out how the new parameters work. git-svn-id: http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/cactus/EinsteinAnalysis/AHFinderDirect/trunk@1222 f88db872-0e4f-0410-b76b-b9085cfa78c5
