ECP Updates

  • KPP-3
  • Meeting with Jim at ECP AM
  • Budget estimations for FY24
    • Our budget estimations are foobar as always
    • Unless you tell me otherwise, I am going to ask to estimate based on spend plan and ask for 1/4 of FY23's budget
    • BTW, it looks like SNL and LANL are running hot. Make sure you leave enough funds to the end of the year.
  • Get key people on AD allocations
    • The following AD codes will be running early on Frontier
      • LatticeQCD, ExaSMR, ExaSky (HACC), CANDLE, EQSIM, Subsurface, WDMApp, WarpX
      • For WarpX: they have already run their KPP-1. Further KPP-3 will likely be in ALPINE's project (CSC340).
    • If we are providing software assistance for any of these, or we are planning a KPP-3, we should have a member as part of their allocation.
  • Let's think about possible highlights
    • App engagement
    • Success with porting (e.g. run on Aurora)
    • Engagement with other ST teams (e.g. using Kokkos)
    • WDM
    • Possible highlight slide on particle advection with WarpX
    • Some work with MFIX. Going to execute on Summit. Might wait for run on early access machine before highlight.

Porting Activities

ECP task updates

ECP/VTK-m Project Management

Roundtable

No meeting next week. See some of you in Houston.

Meeting at ECP AM for production Vis right after the VTK-m meeting.

Failures of performance tests.

Decided on doing 4 "early" KPP-3 metrics

  • Flow for WarpX and/or WDMApp
    • Springboard off Abhishek's thesis work
  • Ascent integration
  • ParaView integration
  • VisIt integration

R&D100?

  • Thinking of submitting for 2023
  • Big stumbling block: needs to be "created" between Jan 2022 to March 2023
  • Plan: Release VTK-m 2.0, do a copyright assertion

Rename master branch?

  • Need to wait for some changes to git before the transition (for some automated features of repo).
  • Can we for a time have a master that mirrors the new default?
    • Don't know, but seems possible. Will have to look into that.
