Agenda

  • News

  • Program Administration
    • DA search status Amy Kimball 
      • 29 qualifying applications, committee meeting next week. Will do a round of interviews then invite people for a site visit to whom we are likely to make an offer.
    • Relative priorities of VLASS items: QL cal/imaging, SE imaging automation, etc.
      • Needs some thought, but one possibility would be to work on SE automation during the "lull" between B and BnA in April/May if we are not too far behind on QL.
    • Possibility of cross-training DAs between sites.
      • Still would be useful to have some VLA training for NAASC DAs. Tony R said he would talk to Phil and Erica.
    • DOIs for VLASS Memos (and other NRAO Memos), eventually for data collections too - discuss with library? - AI on ML to talk to Tony R and Lance
  • Project Management
    • How to add capabilities ("SRDP 2.0") as part of the transition plan to operations.
  • RADIAL update
    • From meeting with Jennifer - UPRM trying to work out how to deal with power issues, Morgan State working on their bid, also University of Virgin Islands. Likely all 3 can be funded.
  • Science Ready Data Products
    •  Problems with VLA imaging traced halted the imaging for about 1 week. Traced to interaction between CASA memory checks and "glide-in" jobs. K Scott working the issue, but may need more help. Two DSOC nodes moved to HTC (so now 3 non-VLASS HTC nodes), imaging operations restarted but may still fail intermittently if these fill up and a glide-in node is activated. Issue with glide-in memory now resolved so imaging operations fully resumed.
      • Amy will set up meeting to discuss allocations of nodes, HTC/Slurm/Torque etc.
    • New NGAS settings for ALMA AAT jobs were not updated by SSA leading to a ~1 week of "silent failures" for ALMA/AAT downloads/restores.
    • Emmanuel wants to make things more efficient for the DAs processing non-SRDP data
      • Getting rid of CIPL and having everything go through workspaces
        • Probably possible with WS2.
  • VLASS
    •  AAS ABQ splinter session being planned.
  • AOB
Overdue Action Items:
        • 9
      • Considering not having DAs look at non-SRDP data at all (or at least a very minimalistic check)
        • Some checks can reveal issues with the telescope though.
      • Emails to users with regard to non-SRDP data would be automatic with workspaces?
        • QA pass emails are sent for non-SRDP automatically, but not QA fail -
