  1. Test the behavior of Tier0 parallelization of calibrator imaging in the calibration pipelline (provides CASA6 based calibrates MSes as a side effect for imaging run). Results
  2. Demonstrate that the refactored code has the desired memory footprint effect.  We'll start with the referenced data set and then expand to larger data sets.   Results
  3. Demonstrate the runtime cost of the refactored code and whether it's a fixed overhead so it's contribution goes to zero for larger data sets or whether the overhead scales with image complexityResults


Results for the tests described in this page are shown in the results page:

The following data sets will run on NRAO clusters with 8 way parallelization and 128 GB memory limit, some as a check against AWS runs. Of the 5 test data sets 2017.1.00884.S has the highest memory footprint, 2017.1.00983.S is the longest running.
