Staff Priorities - Fabio

Yesterday:

• Fling Study
  • We are now 40/42
  • Remaining scenarios all running on GEOSYS
  • Updated wiki tables: http://scec.usc.edu/scecpedia/Fling_Study#Codebase_URS.2FURS.2FURS.2FURS
• Running full validation test for URS
  • Comparing trunk and 11.2.3 on broadband.usc.edu
  • LP and LA passed, waiting for NR to finish running
• Trac #122: Allowing users to specify alternative data root directory using env variable: Done.
• Continued work on adapting run_bbp_parallel scripts to run Fling scenarios in 1 pass
  • Problems running on /scratch
  • Changed to /tmp and was able to run Fling scenario 101 in 46 min (versus 1h34m using regular scripts)
  • Compared new Fling scenario 101 with previous HPCC run (from 11.2.3) and it matches 100%
  • Running Fling Scenario 104 using new script (previous runtime was 2.5 days)

Today:

• Fling Study
  • Monitoring running scenarios
• Package new running scripts and check them into svn as part of BBP
• Continue working on the testing framework
• Work on Cruise Control setup (pending John Yu install)

Blocked:

• John Yu: Installing Cruise Control

Followups:

• Meeting with Phil to talk about Broadband development priorities @ TBD

Ongoing:

• Look for ways to break up the GF directory layout, some ideas are:
  • Figure out how to separate the validation data from Greens Functions
  • Create separate validation package
  • Separate events and codebases from each other
