Notes:

• Discussed the three new PRs from debugging streams
• Critical error files:
  • Would like to be able to write multiple lines
  • How much scope creep is acceptable?
  • Might like to write out call stacks, to help get debugging info.
  • Might be nice to have something like: stacktrace++
• Contiguous support made MPAS-O ~13% faster (according to ACME folks)
• Still need to submit an integer*8 PR to CIME
• Had a discussion about the debugging streams design document
