# MeteoSwiss work to improve integration

###### tags: `functional cycle 8`

## Appetite

Half a cycle
Developer: Matthias, with contributions from Ben (then moves to Stencil or Field view)

## Tasks

### Improving integration:
- [x] **BW** Automatically detect paths of Serialbox and Claw using Spack
- [X] **MR** Rename horizontal subdomains, make their names consistent with half-open interval notation
- [X] **MR** Print all horizontal subdomain markers in LOG file
- [ ] More DSL-specific information printed in LOG file
- [X] **MR** Give stencils better, more consistent names
- [x] **BW** Revert deviations from icon-nwp/master (if possible)
- [X] **MR** Go over nbh lists, check if 1 entries in Fortran become 0 entries in DSL, and 0 entries in Fortran become -1 in DSL
- [X] ~~(_Optional_) Evaluate (semi-)automatic way to integrate stencils (pp_ser?), include merged stencil call generation into task, report~~ **MR, BW** shape this for next cycle
- [ ] Evaluate using `mkexp` interface (`/icon-cscs/utils/mkexp`) to define experiments, or solve builbot problems with traditional way of defining experiments (talk to Remo)

### Performance:
- [ ] **MR,CM** Evaluate impact of switch from CUDA 10 to CUDA 11
