Present: Bill, Chris, Etik, Gabrielle, Sam, Steve, Yosef, Roland, Qian, Ian, Vassili, Peter,

Tutorial machine at NCSA:

• have final confirmation, about to deploy instance, should happen

this week

• contact current outstanding requests about current status
• Roland suggests to take down tutorial page using QueenBee and instead

point to Simplified tutorial instead for the time being

Working groups

• need to pick this up, last action was sending around working group

document

• Ian suggests working group for lower level infrastructure in the ET
• add to next week's agenda

ET workshop in Mallorca:

• creating video of early days of Cactus, request old photos

Supercomputing:

• Steve is going, will have poster about Cactus
• not ET related demo planned, no planned use of Cactus
• NCSA has demo (Wolfram and NVIDIA) about deep learning with Daniel

George and Eliu Huerta

KNL status update

• Peter has his cosmology code running on KNL, gets fairly decent

performance

• this code is quite different from eg McLachlan

Yours, Roland

Hi

Concerning supercomputing and an ET demo: in the past we used a neutron star simulation on a Raspberry pi cluster and instant jpeg slices for visualization. It was slow, but worked. With the new pis we could try either the same, or a very low resolution binary neutron star simulation (but that might still be too much, even with the new pis), just for demonstration. Would there be interest? The code still worked on the pis last time I tried, earlier this year.

I would volunteer in trying some parameter files, but would need a connection to the (full) new cluster.
