Round table
Meeting Notes;
Bi-laws discussion: Dan Stanzione recommends that we get approved to be represented in the EC prior to updating the bylaws. John Towns will present reqeust to the EC. Jeremy to draft writeup for reqeust participation in EC. David Hancock, Dan Stanzione and Mary Thomas to help write up for John. John will also provide feedback on writeup before presenting to EC.
(Mary chat) “RP Forum serves as a vector for new organizations to participate in ACCESS and provide input on new and innovative technologies”
XDMoD discussion: --Monitoring and Metrics, XDMoD
What are the correct metrics to report, and can all resources be visible in XDMoD? Will XDMoD be able to support incorporating all resources? NSF requesting all data (full view of NSF funded resources), one data available other groups to figure out how to present it. Currently only ACCESS jobs reported, to now include NAIRR, and discretionary. RPs to agree to report all usage on NSF funded systems.
-- Recommended: We need to annually check that the data being presented is accurate
-- Need : Clear definition of what MMS expects as a complete set of data. NSF needs to define the views they want to see so that the data provided by RPs is relavent.
– Mary introduced discussion on Interest in creating a set of standardized metrics for reporting for NSF grant
David Hancock(chat): “ Those integration/reporting tasks should ultimately be captured in the integration roadmap and detail that MM requests: https://operations.access-ci.org/pub/access-infrastructure-integration There are usage reporting and performance data reporting tasks that should be maintained by the MM track.”
Dan Stanzione(chat) “I still like reporting in cloud equivalent dollars. Especially because it illustrates so well that cloud costs increase 40% per year right now 🙂For TACC cycles, 2022 cloud equivalent cost (CPU only, no storage or network)… $300M. 2023: $430M. We didn’t add any.”
