Minutes

1. System Requirements Discussion

• We will implement some prototypes to prove the concepts that are being discussed in order to make a decision.
• Julian will implement a prototype that can send parallelised tasks to a chosen number of cores. This will allow to test sending for example, 3 flagdata commands of 3 EBs, in non-blocking mode.
• Justo will prototype a non-blocking send for the non-parallelised tasks to available idle servers. He will first try with plotms.
