Major Objectives for 2015
Catsim:
Update data sets: bright stars, new galfast, (new galaxies?)
Complete the uncertainty functionality in postions/fluxes
Demonstrate we can ingest arbitrary data sets
Complete the CCD pixel prediction
PCA and speed optimization
Variability rework
Images:
Complete integration of galsim with catalogs (sky background - from opsim, rotation angle of telescope)
Parallelization of galsim
Validation of the PSF classes
Investigate sensor effects for galsim
Site:
Complete the new sky model - add twilight (forward prediction model)
- Need photodiode data (zero points)
- All except twilight
- Then transparency
integrate with catsim/opsim
add cloud (this is an open question of how to implement cloud)
OpSim:
Complete the filter change (april 7th)
Reference run to Zeljko (Monday)
Complete refactoring to modular design (development path)
-- DDS eval (Michael)
-- extract scheduler
-- modularize the scheduler (constraints specification)
-- Telescope model will be the initial design (one model for opsim and T&S)
-- simple scheduler information (ajc)
Prep for workshop
Rolling cadence Tier 2s (+others?)+
Cloud hosting (ajc) for TIer 1's
SRD metrics (email out the srd/science list and which have defined constraints)
Temporal constraint
