Minutes
- Beth is now working for Jay Alameda's group at NCSA
- Kepler is put to bed;SR2 will be in February, small fixes since 7.0.3, nothing critical
- bug 417230 Steve wants sync fix. is it in 7.0.x build? not done yet, John will approve and publish via Gerrit
- John committed another fix recently and had trouble merging 7.0 into master, several conflicts from earlier commits. Greg will have a look. There are conflicts in doc plugin too, Greg will have a look.
- Luna M4: Greg has updated for M4 build, updated versions for 8.0
- SC13
- PTP BOF small crowd but interested in PTP - Steve and Wyatt will send me some slides overviewing what they demo'd
- Jay talked with James Howison at SC13
- also Jay got SC13 BOF surveys, no news
- Greg can't logon to XSEDE resources; sent email to Jay to renew our XSEDE allocations - Carsten needs access too.
- Hackathon possibly hosted at LSU? Steve is happy to host, need to pick some dates. April? Contingent on Jay funding travel. Steve will make a Doodle poll to query for available dates.
- Git/Gerrit - Beth posted some instructions on wiki
- Greg has been watching CDT use of Gerrit, they are very active.
- Beth talked with NVidia SW Proj lead at SC13, they have some of their changes into CDT, need more
- EclipseCon: Greg's talk was accepted - catalog the Eclipse remote frameworks
- PTP-user meeting
- Dave Hudak
- John - sync/build with remote
- topics for future: Wyatt: short 5-min videos to do brief tasks in PTP. He will send link to remind us where his sample videos are.
- e.g. creating sync project, configuring sync project to do X, module configuration, etc.
- Tutorials for next year?
- SC for next year: Steve agrees that half-day tutorial may be more palatable to the tutorials committee, and increase
- Beth will set up some meetings in Jan or Feb to start discussing
- Status Reports
- Greg W: about to commit a few remote tweaks
- Brian W: wkg with Doug James at UT: modification of module system to handle lmod better based on UT's Stampede requirements
- Wyatt S: wkg on parametric testing system, wkg with JAXB XML-based launching and testing. Harder to modify launch delegate. Targeting for Luna.
- Can have multiple launch configs with different parameters, launches all, collect data from all the runs automatically. Good for scaling studies, run and look at multiple output. Initial implementation was done before the switch over to JAXB-based. Greg had questions about things like this at SC, e.g. large weather models submitting multiple runs. Multiple executable workflow model.
- Carston: proposal for new features in monitoring were accepted at SC (with Wolfgang) , new project at JSC institute. Hoping to develop more new features. Carston has announcement from Jay Roloff at NCSA, forwarded to Greg
- John E: progress on cmake system, tying into synchronization. Reviewing new terminal support code.
- Beth still looking at what to do, plans to look at Perfsuite and check on GIG status
- Next meeting Jan. 14
