Notes

Project updates
  • 6 interviews this week for admins (Libby & Sandra replacements).

  • T&S Software — various issues (instability in SAL, staffing problems) to be resolved this week.
  • TMA schedule difficult need to get through tests this week. Dome receipt schedule disappointing.  Bill/Victor meeting EIE next week re dome. Need to understand the impact. Need ETC for AMCL in January.
  • Key meetings: Big Bang. Aux Tel, M1M3 glass safety and pre-test review.

  • Bugs (“actual insects”) in open top containers arriving in Chile: AURA want fumigation and will delay us.

  • First risk meeting with new tool (Jira) on Friday.

Test plans due in the next 45 days

  • We should close plan tickets and open a “make the test report” ticket when the plans are approved.
  • Some unclarity about the status of LDM-503-08/08b.
  • LDM-503-06 not started yet; execution of the plan is pending DAQ availability.
  •  John Swinbank shift due date for LDM-503-06 test plan to March to better match with DAQ availability.  
Planning for middleware

Planning meeting was held 11/16. Short term assignments/targets as follows:

November:

    • astro_metadata_translator for obs_lsst for DBB delivered to NCSA. (Tim)
    • laptop activator bug fixes / enhancements (Andy S.)

December:

    • DBB able to ingest raw data using astro_metadata translator. (NCSA)
    • BG3 registry views in Oracle implemented (NCSA)
    • Design subsetting interface (Michelle G. + Andy S.)
    • RFCs for other activators submitted (Andy S.)
    • Examples of PipelineTasks (Coaddition, ISR, processCCD) delivered to NCSA (Jim + Nate L. + Chris W.)

January:

    • Demo: ci_hsc (previously — ie, at the DMLT — PipelineTasks + coaddition — so this is an expansion of capability) on single node as PipelineTask through PipelineTask activator using BG3 (Jim et. al.)
    • Demo: TBD workflow without BG2 (NCSA)
    • Clear definition of Pegasus/BG3 interfaces (preflight, subset = repo from scratch, and merge) (NCSA)
Overdue RFCs
  • RFCs with "Planned end" past "now". (See query table below.)
  • RFC-538 does not actually specify the bandwidth available for alert streams, and does not therefore satisfy previous DMLT actions.
    • Not clear which document that should be recorded in; perhaps LDM-148.
    • Opportunity for new documentation here describing capabilities in operations.
  •  Wil O'Mullane, Leanne Guy , John Swinbank , Zeljko Ivezic — coordinate production of document describing when & how operational capabilities will be made available (e.g., when do alerts become available? What is the latency? What is the bandwidth? etc)  
Technical papers
  • T/CAMs to think about technical papers which could be written as part of commissioning.
    • e.g. Qserv.
  • We should think about an A&C special edition.
  •  Leanne Guy — forward list of science papers from commissioning to the DMLT.   
Trailed star cadenceSimon Krughoff
  • David Thomas (Camera Team) working on a cadence white paper on trailed stars.
    • And wants a GPU cluster at the base or NCSA to help.
  • This is an enhancement; it is not of immediate relevance to DM construction and will go for SAC review.
