<p>Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p>We just received a first draft of the JLab Scientific Computing
Review. I added the document to DocDB:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/doc-private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=6314">https://halldweb.jlab.org/doc-private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=6314</a></p>
<p>GlueX was commended on its documentation efforts, analysis
preservation practice and containerization strategy, which are
exemplary at JLab. The initiative to use the OSG for real data
processing as well as the synergy with EIC in the development of
SRO/ML-FPGA were highlighted. The migration to JANA2 remains the
only real recommendation, stressing benefits in robustness and
maintainability. A new hire in the EPSCI group was promised to
support this transition.</p>
<p>Thank again to everybody who helped putting the material
together.</p>
<p>Have a great weekend,</p>
<p>Alex<br>
</p>

<p>Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p>I submitted a first draft for the document to DocDB:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/doc-private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=6314" moz-do-not-send="true">https://halldweb.jlab.org/doc-private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=6314</a></p>
<p>I managed to stay below the 5 page limit by moving a few items
to the appendix. Thanks to everybody who contributed to the text
so far.</p>
<p>For completeness, you will find the announcement and the charge
for the Computing Review in DocDB as well. I may edit the
document tomorrow to address some of the charges and/or
recommendations from the last review more explicitly.<br>
</p>
<p>Any corrections and suggestions are highly appreciated. The
document will be made available to the reviewers tomorrow
evening, even though further edits are still allowed.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Alex<br>

<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-unicode">Dear Colleagues,
<p>JLab is undergoing another Computing Review and Hall D is
one of the subjects of the review. The meeting is scheduled
for February 1-2, 2024.<br>
</p>
<p>As computing coordinator for Hall D, I am expected to
present a 20+10 min overview talk to address the charges. In
addition, we should provide a short "Pre-Review Handout" one
week in advance (Jan 26) with additional context and
details. The announcement asks for "<5 pages", but I
doubt this will be possible given the multitude of
activities.<br>
</p>
<p>I started a wiki page to coordinate our contribution:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Software_and_Computing_Review_7" moz-do-not-send="true">https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/Software_and_Computing_Review_7</a></p>
<p>This page has links to charge and announcement, which have
more details about the requirements. It also includes links
to the previous computing reviews and their recommendations.</p>
<p>I used the handout for the last review in 2021 as a basis
for the new draft, where I identified possible co-authors
for the different sections:</p>
<ul>
<li>Online skim system (Sergey)</li>
<li>Calibration (Sean)</li>
<li>Reconstruction (Igal)</li>
<li>Analysis (Alex)</li>
<li>Simulation (Peter)</li>
<li>AI/ML (Naomi)</li>
<li>GPU (Alex)<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Since the document is already much too long, the assignment
for the authors is mainly to update the existing info and to
remove redundant or outdated information.<br>
</p>
<p>Please have a look and feel free to send me your thoughts.
I will schedule a meeting with the authors towards the end
of next week to discuss a consistent message.</p>
<p>In case the document is missing any new developments and
you would like to contribute as an author, please come
forward.</p>
<p>Have a great weekend,</p>
<p>Alex<br>
