Agenda & Notes

Behavior of RestartCompleteSequences = True and what code actually does (Kem & Francisco).

  • restartCompleteSequences - restarts ENTIRE sequence so in WFD it needs to finish all filters for a field before observing more in any filter.
  • overflow - fix the way it is supposed to, if you get requested visits in a field, set priority for that field to very low, not zero so it can be observed if nothing else can be.
  • implement these "standby" methods as time allows 

Report from Francisco on filter change limits discussion with camera team and potential impact on proposals (DD in particular

  • George - trying to understand if 4 filter changes happen at once, will the heat generation be destructive?
  • Impact on deep drilling programs is not horrible but then all allowed filter changes are taken up and Universal maybe heavily impacted.
  • May need a better thermal design, will need simulations to tell.: mplement full camera model and see what the impact on (re-optimized) science is.
  • what are metrics for srd specs? clearly show that we can or can not meet the srd.
    • need to gather these - zejlko and lynne - srd based on Steve's document -
    • Cathy to send out Steve's document
    • Lynne to send out google doc extension

Refactoring status and developments (if any)

  • need to get reviewers feedback on documents
  • need to sit with Dave mills to get DDS to work
  • vetting telemetry streams
  • vetting configs
  • Francisco is traveling/moving and sparsely available
  • Andy: take one area and do in more detail - API seems good but needs more detail to comment on design - see notes for two areas to work on , e.g. telescope model.
  • Michael - detail development as per notes from Sims meeting presentation
  • Francisco - has an implementation plan for the filter constraint. It's 2 parts. Telescope model and look ahead. I can describe the needed changes in the telescope model for Michael to consider doing that

Tier 1 runs with v 3_2_1 summary/analysis and discussion of key elements needed for cross simulation comparisons (Kem & all)

  • Have been re-run - all runs completed
  • first analysis complete; detailed analysis in progress
  • main difference is increased downtime - no major issues seen so far
  • enigma is now a functioning production machine.

Outstanding MAF issues with current sstarDriver (Cathy).

  • new sstarDriver - Cahty/ Kem to check out
  • currently use SRD design as benchmark specs, we would like to see how well we do wrt requested visits - Lynne can write a util to get # requested from Config (already in Summary) can be available when running the sstarDriver, and specify requested as benchmark
  • consider splitting first loook (srd spec) and engineering (requested) and SRD analysis; obsims wants both.  This is a proposed hack for the workshop

Summary of last sprint and new sprint items (preparations for Workshop).

  • Sprints will end on Wednesday morning, and beginning on Wednesday afternoon (EOW)
  • Reviewers - can we change the JIRA notification that specifies the reviewer; and pair with "in review" and "reviewed".
    • how do you find out when you are assigned a reviewer?
    • email notification; filter in dashboard; message in Stash;
    • Cathy will followup with Frossie for best practices
  • Kem - runs with permutations of priority and NES  - talk with Lynne and Zeljko to pin down priority
    • Lynne working on metric for recovering orbits with visits; rolling cadence will help
    • try and down-weight priorities; spend less total fraction of visits - you could have 13%, then 7% for other science.
  • ScienceType Tags - need to change in default configs; JIRA  needs to hand off the next steps; be better about setting up follow-up JIRA actions
  • Add Jiras for workshop presentations etc. from KEm's email

Move to Standup Meetings?  next time

  • No labels
