Now that we're rolling out SWIF, completing the Lustre 2 upgrade, and expect to have the new storage servers and write-through-cache in production in November, it's time to decide what's next. We'd like your feedback on what you and your users think are areas where you would benefit from updates in the software tools and interfaces available for computing on JLab's data analysis cluster and storage with disk and tape. There's no limitation on scope -- brainstorming and far reaching ideas welcome.<br><br>We'll be meeting next week to start on the next round of priorities, so anything that immediately comes to mind will be useful in this timeframe. But as always, we welcome comments/suggestions/feedback anytime.<br><br>Thanks!<br>Sandy, for the SciComp group<br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
