Announcments
Mark encouraged people to start thinking about what talks they want to give at the upcoming Collaboration Meeting in the Offline session.
Parallelism Workshop
David gave some impressions from last week's [??? Workshop on ???]. Fifty five people registered and a like number attended. There were lots of interesting and informative talks, featured among them talks from folks outside the JLab community. See [??? David's email] for his summary for the participants and a link to the virtual machine that has the hands-on examples loaded on it.
In discussion Matt asked if JLab has licenses for purify??? and quantify???. Graham said that it did; he would look into who owns them now.
Review of IT Readiness for the 12 GeV Era
Graham described the upcoming review of all computing plans for 12 GeV era. The review will be comprehensive in that it will include accelerator controls, data acquisition support software, the Computer and Network Infrastructure Department (CNI) and the Management Information Systems Department (MIS). Some of his points:
- want to determine if we can handle data coming from experiments
- need an outline of remarks by all speakers by end of month
- the review will be around the 2nd week of March
- Graham will send around a spreadsheet, asking for updates to computing requirements from various groups
- scheduled speakers: Bob Michaels from Hall A, Dennis Weygand from Hall B, Mark Ito from Hall D, a representative from Hall C--TBA, and Graham with an overview
- current computing requirements:
- Hall D: compute intensive
- Hall B: storage intensive
- storage more of a worry
- this will be an internal (to JLab) review
- a pre-cursor to external review in a year or so
