Cycamore 1.4.0

Cycamore 1.4.0 Release

The Cyclus core team is excited to announce the latest stable version of the
Cyclus ecosystem!

Major Features

Compatibility:

• C++ 11 support is now required to compile Cyclus and Cycamore.

Cycamore

• Added Storage archetype. This Facility is intended to hold materials for a
  user specified amount of time in order to model a storage facility with a
  certain residence time or holdup time.
• Added Mixer archetype. This facility Mixer mixes N streams with fixed,
  static, user-specified ratios into a single output stream. The Mixer has N
  input inventories: one for each streams to be mixed, and one output stream.
  The supplying of mixed material is constrained by available inventory of mixed
  material quantities.
• All Cycamore archetypes now uses the tolerance_resource for all the buffer
  Pop.

Summary

Since v1.3.0,

• Cycamore: 158 commits resulting in 70 files changed, 4674 insertions(+), 2070 deletions(-)

The Cyclus core team is excited to announce the latest stable version of the
cyclus ecosystem!

Major features

Cyclus

• ~3x speedups for recipe-based simulations
• Basic inventory policies added
• Support for recursive containers in archetypes
• Many new recursive containers added to sqlite backend
• Regression tests run on macs!
• A MockSim interface for full simulation testing without input files
• Added customizeable TimeSeries output for recording archetype-specific time
  series
• Added json-to-xml conversion capability
• Added new ResMap container
• Decay added (via Pyne)! An input file flag can be set to
  • never: never decay
  • manual: archetypes must call the decay API manually
  • lazy: materials are decayed as needed when their Material::comp function is
    called

Cycamore

• New facility archetypes added
  • Reactor
  • FuelFab
  • Separations
  • Enrichment
• Other facility archetypes removed
  • BatchReactor
  • EnrichmentFacility
• Some experimental archetype APIs updated
  • GrowthRegion
• Much better end-of-life fuel handling in reactors
• Regression tests run on macs!

Cymetric

• First release for a new analysis and visualization tool for Cyclus simulation output
• Command line tool and Python interface
• Calculates metrics of user interest from a Cyclus database
  • Writes metrics back to database
  • Simple for users to extend the suite of metrics
    • Designed so calculations can be based on dependencies (other metrics or root metrics)
    • Uses pandas data types
  • Uses PyNE for nuclear data
• Visualization available from the command line via matplotlib
