2017-09-07 Meeting notes

• 3PM first Thursday

• Environment for sandboxed interactive analysis near data
• Environment for deploying portal-like services for providing views into data
• Tutorial environment
• Provides a suite of services, tools etc. that can be pieced together and dynamically assembled

In every case so far, the sandboxed "toy" environment is only so useful. Good for playing with data, but need to then scale up.

• Partnering opportunity to adopt this approach or collaborate

Sandboxed virtualized environment on a mid-tier system. 

• How to scale that up to HPC

• Preliminary analysis in interactive mode (image stitching)
• How to scale this up to the next stage

Einstein toolkit

•  Host tutorial instance in workbench, ultimately users want to run at scale

• Interest in singuarlity

RDA Meeting
