Story Details
VE-226: Continue work on spectral line modes in VPM branch
Ray not present but Joe reports that he has a manager version with the mode parameter as an enum.
VE-216: Continue work on Matrix book keeping
Testing switching book keeping.
VE-227: Continue Manager/Matrix interface work
Defined all interactions between manager and matrix.
Will allow one to run "classic" HPC or Matrix HPC, which will be helpful for regression testing.
VE-231: Shared memory bug on dev-test
Two issues
Could not compile due to cfitsio version conflict.
Configures for GUPPI shared memory parameters but needs VEGAS version.
Both of these should be fairly easy to fix.
VE-228: 32-channel BOF files
Randy and Jason a i0800x0032 BOF and emailed Natalia for testing. Randy not present; Jason not sure of status of other modes.
VE-229: Update existing BOFs with delay register and wrap behavior improvements
Luke building a c0800x4096 BOF with fixes and a 24-tap PFB.
VE-230: High time resolution modes
No updates.
VE-222: Upgrade post-processing scripts to handle multi-bank data with overlapping frequency coverage
On hold while Ryan was on vacation. Ryan needs to make sure data from different files are being collected properly using MPI.
VE-215: Spectral line regression testing
Waiting on release candidate. Target date for testing is May 4th.
Additional Work
Identified hardware for second bank of development environment. Has necessary memory, GPU, and 10-gig card. Not sure where it came from but Dave Woody scrounged it up. Dave and Wolfgang are working on set up and software team can then configure as necessary.
Jason also located the additional 10-gig switch, which is curently in the beamformer rack. Beamformer team will be shipping their own within a week or two, at which point this switch will become available.
VEGAS Pulsar Project Meeting - Sprint Planning: 2017 April 3rd 2:00 - 3:00pm ET
Note: The team's "velocity" has been consistent at 11--13 points per sprint. We should aim for 12 points per sprint for planning purposes.
Backlog
Prepare a release candidate for the re-based VPM branch that can run spectral line modes as expected
Spectral line regression tests of release candidate
Various Matrix work
Continue work on high time resolution modes
32-channel BOF files
BOF file cleanup and improvements
Post processing scripts for multi-bank data
Fix shared memory bugs in dev-test (related to cfitsio and software versions)
Critical Issues
M&C system and regression tests
Manager parameters and interface with CLEO
This may be close to done on the manager side. Will need to coordinate with Ron to make sure that CLEO has everything it needs to build GUI.
New Stories
Joe will continue Matrix work for bookkeeping and FITS writer, as well as LBW spectral line mode work.
Will need to pull Ray's changes for mode enums in manager.
