Description

Describe the bug Sometimes if only run on the cluster, there seems to be a problem with dealing with sparse matrices. One local run can circumvent that

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run 'flare stack/analyses/skylab_crosscheck/calculate_skylab_sensitivity.py'
  2. Set sin(dec) to 0.25 and run in the cluster
  3. See error: 57164053_stderr.txt

Expected behavior No error.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the stderr log to identify the sparse matrix error. Try reproducing locally with sin(dec)=0.25 and compare the environment (package versions, BLAS libraries, etc.) to the cluster. Trace the code in calculate skylab sensitivity.py where sparse matrices are handled and check for any assumptions that might depend on the computing environment.
