Attendees: James, 

Agenda (Primarily a getting organized meeting)

  • Purpose of group meeting
    • Coordinate all DMS effort to support VLASS SE imaging internally and externally
  • Coordination/Logistics
    • Track everything here or just major targets and let groups track their own deliverables deliverables and JIRA tickets (I'd prefer the latter)
      • Answer: Track effort globally for confluence and then link into JIRA via label
    • Use of tags to make clearing house pages easy (ie select for all tickets in SSA/SCG/CASA/CASA-pipeline/ARDG with tag 'XXXX'
      • Answer: need a label james will come up with.
  • Schedule (broad strokes, need to flesh out details)
    • Demonstrate 100 sq degrees via HTCondor external to pipleine pipeline by October 1st.
    • VIP script implemented as pipeline by ?  (would like October) (Likely Q2 FY21)
    • SSA natively uses HTCondor for SE job submissions by ?  (would like September or October) (Likely Q1FY21)
  • Pipeline
    • Is the plan to make a separate task or leverage existing task
    • how to manage pybdsf and other external python apps 
    •  
    SSA
  • Split pipeline
  • HTCondor
    • apps (largest concern), could use sequence manager class to iterate over tclean in different ways, may be able to use
    • Can each tclean() call be checkpointed and restarted.
    • Packaging question w.r.t. pipeline for external packages
    • cfcache tracking is a workflow issue not a pipeline issue
    • Can some external scripts be reimplemented in CASA pipeline or always externally called scripts
    • Weblog completely uncertain 
  • SSA
    • Split pipeline between data selection and mstransform and imaging (should this be done in the pipeline recipe, ie hifv_splitms() or some such)
    • HTCondor effort, when to start, how to coordinate, how to set up test environment (want to start in June, need to discuss what it should look like)
    • How to incorporate into workflow manager vs vlass manager
    • How to track SE-continuum products and their possible inclusion in SE-cube imaging (relevant in the short term,  inputs to Cube need to be known so they can drive continuum products  (IDs, name formats etc)
  • SCG
    • Return to effort to create an external imaging approach with decomposition along the major/minor cycle and SPWs. Imaging with HTCondor
    • Assist other groups, set up test environments
    • Coordinate with CHTC NRAO-CHTC HTCondor collaboration
    • Can we split the pipeline in to the PSF and MASK steps and the final imaging steps, has utility for the
