• Lulu and Liang, with Barry, work out timing for when server gets moved from CCMR to ChemIT, and the necessary steps.
• Lulu and Liang work out downtime required for Lulu to replace OS with an OS ChemIT can support.
• ChemIT staff propose file share service to be used by Eldor post-migration, with pricing estimates.
• File share system goes through a technical review by Barry, Liang, Peter (and others?) so they can recommend it to Jack.
• Jack approves the  file share service his staff recommend.
• Migration done per schedule created in previous to-do's.
  • Server is moved to ChemIT.
  • Lulu removes the GPUs and gives them to Peter.
  • Lulu installs OS.
• Lulu and Liang test server post OS change.
• Lulu and Liang to work out service windows for Lulu to do necessary periodic server administration tasks.
• Liang confirms server is operational.

  Peter writes (4/5/13):

Removing two power-hungry C2050 GPUs will make the process lot easier.

There is no current use for them in this system, but we need them for 3D EM simulations. There is no need to develop anything for 3D EM, since this is supported by the vendor.

At some point in the future we may develop useful CUDA support for NLLS.

This development process, however, will be well served by a smaller CUDA-enabled video card.

Strategy: 2-part

Get Liang set-up with CAC's services (RedCloud?) so he can create the software and test it. And pay per drink at that smaller scale.
