This page is for tracking the testing of the CASA 6 cube refactor documented here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jv-t_4k5Vv1Rgh_eYeU4j84UWrrnO3d6INLBFtuMD6s/edit?usp=sharing
There are three primary goals to our tests:
- 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)
- 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.
- 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 complexity
Phase 1, calibrator imaging tests run vs hifacal.py

For all tests below Record tclean parameters and telemetry data for each of the 3 tclean calls.
Run each standard ALMA imaging pipeline generated data set through the following 3 casa revs. All tests run with 8 way parallelization and 128GB memory limit. All tests run within AWS.

As a control the following two data sets will be run on NRAO clusters as a check against AWS runs. Of the 5 test data sets 2017.1.0084.S has the highest memory footprint, 2017.1.00983.S is the longest running.
