Minutes for the for Terapix meeting of 7th April 2009

Yannick's summary document

Present: Yuliana, Fred, Henry, Patrick, Mathias M., Yannick

Youpi ( Yuliana and Mathias M.)
-  Yuliana would like to have a list of all the images used in T0006 in Youpi; Mathias will provide a list that can be cross checked with Yannick's list.
-  All the mix21 Youpi output will be moved to fcix5
-  Comment from Fred: ftp is better for big files / rsync better for small files.
-  T0006 processing: all output and input files will be stored on fcix5.
-  Still not decided if we should include the pre-survey images as this will make the calculating the astrometric solution very challenging.
-  Yuliana will use the production database for W4.

Wircam (Patrick)
-  Discussion with Bouvier who wanted reprocessing of old data (not possible -- these data have been long since removed from the disks.)

-  Also it seems that some Bouvier data was missing in previous runs (it was only partially transferred from CFHT) Unfortunately this will have to reprocessed
-  Bouvier run on mix10 processing finished
-  Lodieux processing / report almost finished
-  Two new requests from Guillaume Dubus comprise large amount of data (>1000 files).

Discussion of WIRCAM processing

-  Patrick and Yuliana must spend more time on development (two days/week for Patrick and one day for Yuliana)
-  Fred will also spend one day on development
-  Yannick suggests that there should be one weekly internal meeting discussing development projects.
-  How do we reduce the load on TERAPIX (principally Patrick and Yuliana) for processing PI data?
-  Bouvier has two postdocs -- can they help with quality control / data processing?
-  Need to find some way to reduce the load on Patrick/Yuliana but before we have something concrete to project PIs (like Terapix/WIRCam or /MegaCam cookbooks for users) it could be difficult.
-  In the short term, Mathias S. should spend more time at TERAPIX to work with Yuliana for T0006.

Youpi development (Mathias M.)
-  Processing selector modified
-  "Start searching" button added.
-  We need to reimport the grades.
-  Need to work on adding the .ahead files
-  Bug in SWarp that still needs to be fixed.
-  Statistics page needs to be redesigned.
-  Before working on SCAMP
-  Condor logfiles are now clickable and can be retrieved from the Youpi interface.
-  It would be good to have a unique identifier for each logfile. Mathias says this should be easy to implement.

Hardware (Fred)
-  All software has been installed correctly on fcix5 including PFSex and Skycat. (hopeful now that this version of PSFEx can be incorporated in qualityFITS).
-  The new machines will received this updated system first, then it will be copied to the older machines.
-  There could be one or two days of downtime on clix.
-  Top priority to have the machine with 64 Gb of ram accessible for large SCAMP jobs
-  mix10 system disk changed; network switch port connected to this machine was also bad.

Misc
-  Funding: 15keur arrived PNC
-  30 from INSU- 9 keur from PNC for NGVS project
-  total should be 48 + 9
