Developer Reports

Monday Meeting
  • Sanjay Bhatnagar
  • Sandra Castro
    • Followed up on split2 and cvel2 users testing. Removed excessive stacktrace messages from mstransform/cvel2.
    • Fixed a small bug in the way the temporary MMS directory is created. Fixed in release and trunk branches.
    • Started to use pipeline data sets for MMS testing.
    • Still running tests on cycle 2 script and MMSs. We now have a small cluster of 2 computers, 8 and 12 cores, with a SDD disk shared between them for the mpi tests on this sript.
  • Lindsey Davis
  • Pam Ford
    • Set up Mac workstation and installed CASA trunk and 4.3 for Plotms tickets
      • CAS-7044 RTT
      • working on CAS-7042 (not a blocker)
    • Out on leave Monday 11/10/14
  • Kumar Golap
    • Working on cleaning out bugs.
    • Profiling on Multi-MS partitioned in time (did not help).
  • Justo González Villalba
    • Finalized testing casacore of support for SORTED_TABLEs bigger than 2GB
    • Implemented propagation of Weight Spectrum in mstransform to be used by channel average (all transformations in general)
    • Follow up science testing, preparation of a testing cluster in Garching, minor unit test fixes
  • Jim Jacobs
    • Fixed cache issue with old VI/VB
    • Looking into ROSubtable
  • Jeff Kern
    • Two days in Utah working on visualization
    • Lots of meetings
  • Susan Loveland
    • Plotms: CAS-7050, CAS-7074
    • Viewer: CAS-6782
    • CARTA
      • Fixed two errors from previous check-in: server version not working & segfault for invalid image path
      • Work on region selection.
  • David Mehringer
    • Continued stats framework implementation.
    • Was pinged re (CAS-5836) Create new task imrebin. Apparently only a warning is now wanted. I had thought more was involved. Requested exact verbiage of requested warning and exactly the circumstances under which requested warning is requested to occur. Pointed out that a single message in one place in the code is not feasible at this point because of architecture issues. Asked requestor his preference on how this should be done.
    • Responded re: release notes and noted several ia features that seem to have been left out.
    • Responded re: known issues re: immath. I'm not aware of any problems like this on Linux and have no such tickets to support this immath "bug" on Liunx. If there is such a Linux defect, someone needs to open a ticket to me or it will never get fixed. Most of these "issues" have been resolved in the past once users have RTM. I do have a ticket which has an example of this issue on OSX, but until I can actually build and debug on OSX that will remain uninvestigated.
  • George Moellenbrock
    • Finished my PEP
    • Resurrected holography data parsing python class (for S. African SKA collaboration) I started many months ago
    • Advised several EVLA workshop participants (that stayed for another week of data reduction) on polarization calibration
    • Initial testing of Justo's SIGMA_SPECTRUM work
    • Jansky Symposium
  • Dirk Petry
    • Mark pointing out 4.3 Undertest Item wvrgcal issue (CAS-6982)
  • Urvashi Rao
  • Darrell Schiebel
    • EL6 tests are now running
    • Automating OSX tests
  • Rob Selina
  • Julian Taylor
  • Takahiro Tsutsumi
    • Makemask modification (fixed copy mode behavior for the output with an internal mask) - CAS-6912
    • Fluxscale issue (CAS-7064) - turned out to be the user error (he ran gaincal on the same field with append=T which caused the caltable to contain duplicated entries per timestamp) and so it was not a bug but added a check for such case to issue more user-friendly error message
    • Setjy: started to look at CAS-7066 ("Butler-JPL-Horizons 2012 standard shows strange behaviour")
  • Ger van Diepen
    • Created a MultiFile class to combine multiple files in a single file in order to reduce the nr of files used by the table system. Changed Tables such that the storage managers can optionally use MultiFile (controlled by a Table constructor argument or aipsrc variable). All casacore test programs run well when using MultiFile. I need to do some performance testing though. It would also be interesting to do performance tests on Lustre; could somebody at NRAO do that?
    • Some time ago I made a python script to count the number of code lines (ignoring lines with alphanumerics, e.g. a line containing only a brace). The casacore statistics are:

Friday NAOJ Meeting
  • Kanako Sugimoto
    • removed old SD tasks from trunk
    • updating the mirroring script of CASA at NAOJ
    • circulated base list of release notes to call for comments and corrections (Bunyo will collect release notes and known issue list for single dish)
  • Wataru Kawasaki
    • updated SD unit codes for testing flag data handling
    • fixed a sd.rasterutil function to return TaQL query to select a raster scan. committed to the trunk, and merged it to the 4.3 branch
    • fixed a bug in sd.scantable.stat() that it fails for spectra with all channels flagged. committed to the trunk also merged it to the 4.3 branch.
    • started working on CAS-6985. this seems to be an issue of NRO filler.
  • Masaya Kuniyoshi
  • Takeshi Nakazato
    • worked on importasdm issues CAS-7053, CAS-7054, and CAS-7075
    • CAS-6986 velocity and rest frequency issue on NRO data: will discuss with NRO testers offline
    • test support for 4.3 release: CAS-6589, CAS-6596, and CAS-6121
    • code review: unit tests for sdbaseline, sdcoadd, sdlist, sdsave, sdstat, sdscale, sdimaging, sdmath, and sdcal
  • Shinnosuke Kawakami
    • building GC-casacore + casa-code completed 100% by modifying some source codes.
