BBP Development

This page lists current Broadband Platform development activities:

Development Work

We are working to certify broadband platform on multiple computing platforms. First step is to compare the performance on two environments, the

Top Development Priorities

1. Create wiki entry describing setting random SEED for three High Freq Modules
2. Create "optional" patch distributions separate from official bbp 11.2.2 release
   1. Define acceptance test patch
   2. Define option parsing patch
3. Define wiki entry on how to run one acceptance test to run one at a time
4. Define Graves study (including list of output files) and create wiki entry
5. Define Kottke study (including list of output files) and create wiki entry
6. Setup Graves study using batch tools
7. Setup Kottke study using batch tools
8. Create a wiki for batch tools for broadband platform

Development Activities

1. Modify broadband distribution to use gnu build tools
2. Create minimized software installation distribution for clusters
   1. Remove dependencies on gmt,imagemagic,...
3. Develop prototype distributed broadband queue manager
4. Distribution tracking
   1. Check for updates capability
   2. Download counter for software
   3. Optional registration announcement
5. Simplify distribution to use one scattering.dat file in SDSU High freq
6. Define data query interface for bbp results

Future Developments

1. 3D wave propagation capabilities
2. Concept for integrating 3D wave prop with BBP
3. Change name of main executable to remove 2g label
4. Define query interface for data products
