Scheduler Requirements Document Discussion
#2

We will set up bluejeans connections for all sessions

Modifications to the current schedule:

  • Move ANTARES to 11.00am (needs confirmation from Abi et al) but will make it easier for Sandrine
  • Move weather discussion to 4pm
  • Phosim session is at 11.00am

9.00 - 10.30 Scheduler requirements document review (Steve)

  • ajc will post current scheduler requirements document and use community to collect comments
  • we will ask people to post items they want to comment on in the community page
  • Francisco will be present his comments at the meeting
  • goal is to have a completed document at end of session

1.00 - 12.00 Weather information and available data (Peter)

  • Sandrine will discuss gemini data
  • Peter will discuss all sky and ir camera data
  • How to fold weather into the scheduler
  • Steve will discuss long term forecasting

12.00 -12.30 MAF comparison scripts, outputs, format and storage (Peter)

  • Peter will walk through the timing for MAF
  • General discussion of how we will store the outputs

1.30 - 2.30 ANTARES technical details (ANTARES team)

  • Darko: present talk from Bremerton and updates. Walkthrough how to communicate and connect to the alert stream, e.g. what info should we pass, how do we pass filter information in xml
  • Scott: what variability models we have in the sims and how they are attached to the source populations
  • Steve: discussion of variability model from Kepler and what are the next steps to model this

9.00-10.30 Presentation of the scheduler design (Francisco)

  • requirements flowdown
  • design and context (performance and interfaces)
  • where we currently are, what functionality is there, how code is being laid out
  • how to configure the proposals (will be in a few months)
  • multithreading discussion
  • integration and testing
  • update of milestones and delivery

11:00 - 12.00 SysEng DB versioning and next design (Scott)

  • Talking with Brian and how to access the xml output
  • Parsing of the xmi files and how envisage maintenance of examples

12.00 - 1.00 Running at NERSC using Docker and Shifter (Debbie Bard)

  • Have a demo running at NERSC. How to run and produce outputs
  • Where the data go - run maf locally. Can NERSC support web access. MAF discussion of how it displays output
  • How to pull data out (globus connect). Command line tools
