- Brian Crane graciously agreed to wait, allowing ChemIT to start and focus on Hoffmann's new cluster instead.
- Crane will email Kyle Lancaster with an update. Plan is to move forward with retrofit of Lancaster's cluster (new OS), pending Kyle's approval. See above for more details. No need for interim solution from ChemIT.
- Oliver to meet with Kyle to review steps and timing in more detail.
- Having come close to completing Collum's cluster retro-fit, Oliver estimates Lulu being able to start in ~8 weeks. BUT, we can and should start work with Brian and designates much earlier (4 weeks earlier!) to spec and order hardware so it can be ready for Lulu to work with in ~8 weeks.
- Oliver to provide Crane a status report every 2-3 weeks, until we start
- Idea: Have Lulu install SBGrid on Lancaster's cluster so Crane's group can test. This might help inform hardware spec if bottleneck(s) identified using Lancaster's current compute nodes.
- Oliver to discuss this idea with Lancaster. Then, determine when Lulu would have time to invest in this installation.
