Beginning with 2nd June, only the "Single Sign On" option for login to the GitLab web interface will be possible. If you don't have an MPCDF wide second factor so far, please get one at our SelfService (https://selfservice.mpcdf.mpg.de). The GitLab internal second factor will not work.
checking MPI equality of large fields explicitly can crash and lead to segmentation faults, that's why we introduced the possibility to just compare hashes. We didn't add it to the check in the _single_value_sample_list
in optimize_kl.py and I run into an issue there.
