| Item | Who | Notes |
|---|
| Review of last meeting notes | | |
| Dedicated batch compute | | - needed to meet project deliverables/milestones
- LSST does not have an allocation process
- There is an (undocumented) operating principle that reasonable resource requests need to produce project deliverables
- Case at hand; Rob & Hsin-Fang are gearing up to do production HSC-PDR1 runs in mid-Feb and need dedicated resources
- the only way to do this right now is with reservations
- in the future, more robust job/queue management capabilities will be added
- However. We need an allocation process to address this long term.
- Will advertise via login banner & maintenance page
- no objections from the infrastructure WG
