• lsst-dev7 'beta'

Notes

• The notice to dm-devel bounced last night. Not sure what the issue was. Unknown User (jalt) will follow up with Ian.
• KT: Integration environment useful without Pan Starrs, don't let that delay deployment
• Pan Starrs not available until summer, only stack images needed
• Jason to make sure Swinbank is included in friendly user releases
• Jason to talk with Jacek Becla about significantly expanding the Qsev node count at NCSA
• KT: lsst-dev probably not useful once lsst-dev7 is fully deployed and transitioned. Possibly move lsst-dev to Nebula for reference and very light use
• Jason: Goal of development environment:
  • Support shared stacks as long as the developers prefer that environment
  • Consolidate batch clients to lsst-dev (think of lsst-dev as a cluster head node with multiple queues available complete with GPFS)
  • Nebula to be used for large scale testing/development, user-run services
  • GPFS to provide native access to non user-owned systems. Benchmarking samba for read / write use in user-owned systems (ex Nebula)
