ENM Pipeline Conference Call 20 Oct 2004

This is version 5. It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.
[Back to current version]   [Restore this version]

Participants

Discussion

• Dan gave overview of pipeline refactoring
• Discussion of how to handle distributed execution
• Dan has "bulletin-board" model in mind right now
• Matt would like a more 'cluster' oriented approach with a controller
• Ricardo suggests that we should reduce granularity of inputs to make it computationally tractable and then address the parallelization more comprehensively in a second iteration

Decisions

• Delay parallelization effort until we can do it right
• Implement a simpler GARP workflow that can run in one day on one machine
• Preprocessing to a reasonable grid density
• Choose fewer species (i.e., 10-50)
• Implement whole end-to-end iteration in the workflow for demonstration purposes
