<p>Dear Flash users,</p>
<p><br>
I am currently testing FLASH on a machine with AMD CPUs, specifically <span>AMD EPYC 7763</span>. Previously, I have only used the code on Intel based architecture. I have encountered a bug, which I believe is related to guard-cell fills, but I have not found
the root cause yet. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am doing core-collapse simulations with paramesh, the code initializes and writes the first checkpoint file, but then crashes in hydro-solver. 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.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The puzzling part is that the code, with the exact same setup, runs just fine on a different machine (an intel machine). I am wondering if anyone have seen similar behavior in the past. 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. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best,<br>
