[FLASH-USERS] Code crash when moving to an AMD based machine

[Reyes, Adam]

Hi Haakon,

Could you share a bit more context about what you’re observing, maybe the exact error from FLASH and the boundary conditions that you’re using? Are you using the same compiler between the two machines?

The crash occurs during a call to the subroutine that is responsible for filling guard cells. My debugging has lead me all the way into the paramesh routines. The error, guard cells being filled with bad values, happens at a refinement boundary. The test is done in 1D.

I am not sure that the root cause is in paramesh, but if anyone have experience anything similar I would love to hear about it, maybe it will help me identify the issue.
