Plan is that John stays working on VLA pipeline heuristics for the next few ~years, though bugs and small feature requests can be made by NMOps. NMOps should identify someone to work with John and (eventually) take over. Similarly, VLA-relevant WS improvements could be done by having Amy or a senior DA move into the product owner role at some point in the future now that major development for VLA is mostly complete.
Science Ready Data Products
Testing of cal+img underway
Expect completion by Monday
Pipeline test version pending last ticket that needs minor fix
One remaining ticket
Again, should be done early next week
QA-related pipeline requests in the "no flagging" era
Laura will set up meeting to discuss DMS involvement in TACC GPU testing.
ML to write plan for DMS needs for VLASS-II, including estimated FTEs, schedule etc.
JHU has available computing, but need to pay cash...
VLASS-II priorities:
Validate pipeline for 1" cubes wit tapering (SECC)
Need to profile memory and decide on tapering. Still not clear why SECI cubes needed 187GB in 6.5. Also could consider making cube planes different sizes/samplings and regridding at the end.
Validate and profile hpgawp (GPU) pipeline locally (L4s)
Still needs bug fixing
Get awphpg running on different GPUs
VLASS manager changes/data origin setup.
K Scott has "read only" version running, need to get products back.
30 GPUs arrived, asked K Scott to install 3-4 for testing.
Have 200TB of space in /lustre/projects/vlass until Feb 2026 (then goes back to 100TB).
Ep3 QL catalog - Dillon to write-up paper with catalogs, we will put them on VLASS website.
Dillon's median stack QL images now available from the VLASS cache, ML to write eNews article and contact CADC.
New Ep1+2 catalog for SECI masks being tested
Seem OK! Juergen will check with Rui about implementation, might just be a recipe change
Calibrator uv ranges - Tierra testing.
2.1 SECIs at end of processing chain to be placed "on ice" (~ 100 images) in case improved calibration can be implemented in CASA by the end of VLASS-II
Sergio looking into changing PB limit for some of the diverging ones that converged in QL
