News / Management
  • June 6/7 : People visiting from U.Wisconsin's Center For High Throughput Computing to make a plan for how CASA (among others) is to use their Open-Source-Grid, the first likely application being VLASS data processing (this plan originates from AUI and is un-related to ongoing CNGI efforts).

Development

  • Discuss CASA 5.6 Progress
  • Calibration and Flagging
    • N/A
  • Imaging
    • N/A
  • Data Visualization
    • N/A
  • Import / Export
    • N/A
  • Infrastructure
    • Several fixes were merged into master ~last couple of weeks. These PRs fix leaks that were hidden all over our infrastructure. The issues fixed explain ~10s GB of leaks, or >110 GB leaked memory for some ALMA pipeline datasets.
    • Our infrastructure (code/stdcasa, gcwrap/tools/StdCasa, gcwrap/tools) had/has issues everywhere, affecting virtually all tasks and tool functions. Examples: misuse of the Xerces API (transcode, etc.) in XML parsing (stdcasaXMLUtil), issues in the conversion between "casac record" and casacore::Record. issues in CASA tool wrappers in general, several tools frequently used in the pipeline severely affected: coordsys, image, regionmanager, imager, etc., issues in MSSelection, in imager and synthesisimager tools, casac.regionmanager, etc. See CAS-10226 for a list of recent (CAS-124XX) tickets.
  • Simulation
    • N/A
  • CASA 6

Build / Testing

  • Infrastructure
    • Release naming convention
      • Server upgrades mostly done. A handful on Linux machines still need updating.
      • Pending install of the new Macs. Mac Pro upgrades done.
      • Added 10.13 version of Casa6 tools wheel.
      • First "variant" pilot pushed to the download site
      • Remaining tasks:
        • Startup scripts must be modified (Juergen/CIS)
        • Copy current releases to the new directory tree
        • Publish prerelease packages to both directories until the startup script convention is complete
        • Update the release conversion scripts
  • Unit
    • N/A
  • Verification
    • Currently working on gencal test
    • OSX hardware to support CASA 6 has arrived
    • RHEL VM host specs discussed, hardware arrival should be soon
  • Validation
    • (discuss under Development section)

Single Dish Development (5/23/19 and 5/30/19)

  • Wataru Kawasaki
    • CAS-11955 temporarily set to 'Under Verification' to create test packages which SD pipeline team wants to make a trial, then set scheduled again for the remaining work.
    • CASR-411 created a CAS ticket ( CAS-12475 ) and started working on it.
  • Takeshi Nakazato
    • discussion among the team on an implementation of CASA development process at NAOJ
