MS:
Steve Binkley not any more head of ASCR, promoted to new position.
Dustin Anderson @ CERN interested in joining project.
Xavier new Lederman fellow @FNAL, may be interested in collaborating.
Name of the project: MS HEP-TrkX or HEP.TrkX
Dates of kickoff workshop: proposal is Nov 1-3, at FNAL. Accepted by folks on the call.
Github private repository https://github.com/cmscaltech/HEP.TrkX (the cmswill dissapear)
Steve’s ID: sparticlesteve
Mayur’s ID: mudigonda
Jim K: jbkowalkowski
FIle sharing: MS made a 50GB Box @ caltech. → Paolo to test
Data Storage: JBK
Talking with Amitoj in SCD about storage. Still working things out. Asked about getting 10 TB of space
1) Simulation data generated from resources at Caltech, LBNL, FNAL.
2) FNAL hosts ALL the simulation data generated from the 3 resources mentioned in step #1? yes.
3) Primarily LBNL consumes the simulation data hosted at FNAL for testing algorithms and for training "deep learning” networks (including generation of training samples). Are there any IO requirements here for remote access to data hosted at FNAL? Answered that more that LBNL will be processing the data
4) FNAL will ALSO store the training samples and any output data produced from step #3? yes
Web page: MS will be ready this weekend
Computing platform:
PC submitted NERSC ERCAP request for 1.2M hours 5+5 TB storage
MS setting up GPU tower
Other news from Caltech (09.23.2016): one of MS grad students, Dustin Anderson has decided to become a data scientist after graduation. He is at CERN and will get back to Caltech in Dec. He will start spending time on ML and he has already done some v serious technical work on setting up distributive MPI architecture with JR (who spoke with Jim about this). I foresee engagement in our project. Also Javier Duarte (former student who just defended) has started as Lederman Fellow at FNAl and he is terrific -- we discussed he would join from FNAL side. On the side of Caltech I some have administrative issues but Panagiotis is helping.
Lindsay, Jean-Roch, Josh at Caltech Oct 8-10.
