Agenda SWIM General Conference call 1-10-07

• News Batchelor (5 min)
• IPS (30 min) Discussion on progress on near
  term tasks from last call
• Physics tasks (20 min) everybody
• Progress on framework (10) min Bramley
• Slow MHD (25 min)
• Schanck/Hegna/Kruger

News etc

• We need a designated scribe for this call who
  will do it?
• Our joint RF SciDAC/CEMM/SWIM Incite proposal for
  time at NCCS was approved for 2007 at 2M
  processor hours on Jaguar. We used a total of
  1.9 M hours in 2007.Fred Jaeger got a separate
  project on specific AORSA calculations for
  500,000 hours.
• I am asking for a short summary from everybody on
  first quarter FY07 progress and FY07 money spent
  quarterly from now on
• Propose next conference call Wednesday Jan. 24 at
  100
• FYI US/Japan workshop on Integrated Modeling of
  Fusion Plasmas, Jan 29-31, at ORNL
• Doug McCune has posted a preliminary write up on
  the plasma state on the cswim.org web site. You
  should have a look at it.

Near term tasks to accomplish these milestones
IPS

• Physics
• CQL3D running reliably on PPPL computers (Harvey)
• Equilibrium and Transport component wrapper
  written, coupled to Plasma State and launched by
  physics layer driver script, documentation
  (Ku/Jardin)
• MHD component wrapper written, coupled to Plasma
  State and launched by physics layer driver script
  (Kruger)
• Regression tests run, documented and archived
  (all)
• Port everything to Jaguar in anticipation of real
  physics runs (all)
• Continue refinement of AORSA component and
  generate TORIC component (Berry/Jaeger/Bonoli/Wrig
  ht)
• Coding camp (possibly remote) on use of Plasma
  State (Berry, Feb 1 after US-Japan WS)
• Computer Science (2 parallel efforts)
• CS 1 physics layer script
• Finalize working directory structure, naming
  conventions, file moves or links to input files,
  plasma state working files, and results directory
  (Bramley, Elwasif, Bernholdt)
• Formalize the build system and its interaction
  with svn repository so that mere physicists can
  grasp how it works (Bramley, Elwasif, Bernholdt)
• Figure out how to make this work on Jaguar
  (assuming the physics codes run on Jaguar)
• CS 2 framework
• Merge physics layer driver existing components
  with framework and test
• Produce complete framework physics using dummy
  physics codes
• Port framework to Jaguar
