IPP Progress Report for the week YYYY.MM.DD - YYYY.MM.DD

(Up to IPP Progress Reports)

Eugene Magnier

Serge Chastel

• Czar on Thu and Fri
• Added ssp database to mysqldump from ippdb01 to ipp001. Changed isp dump host (was: ipp001; is: ippdb01).

Heather Flewelling

• isp
  • updated isp database
  • processing several days of isp on ippc13 (as I notice a day finishes, I process another several days). The plan is to do this:
    • find/catalog failure modes of isp astrometry/photometry
    • build a dvocatalog
• ssp
  • jt transferred ssp to ipp004
  • heather created ssp database, and is in the process of ingesting the 100,000 ssp images (i'm about 95% done)
    • there are 2 copies of each in nebulous
• jtmd stacks
  • mostly done! there are 45 missing ones that need investigation
• helped pavlos - he can't install ipp, i'm working with him on that
• helped larry/peter on ipp installation
• sick half day

The bulk of my work this week was on code to speed-up the ingestion of DVO data into MySQL while not breaking the existing mechanism of using the C-API for reading DVO data on an exposure-by-exposure basis, as this will still be more efficient for parts of the sky with thin coverage. One big speed-up came from removing the need for 'SOURCE_ID', which I had been carrying unnecessarily per detection in my MySQL database.

The other development task was figuring out how to queue available data to load to PSPS by region on the sky based on the ratio of exposures I have to load and the size on disk of the corresponding DVO FITS files. An algorithm is required to decide when it is appropriate to load on-the-fly, exposure-by-exposure, and when it is more efficient to pre-ingest a region of DVO. This becomes especially confusing as I have a multi-client system where clients, thus far, worked independently of one another. This will have to change.

Other work included:

• after a couple of weeks of testing new features, I released new version of PSVO
• tested new STILTS release with ippToPsps

Mark Huber

• Czar Tuesday and Wednesday, lotsa LAP and system crash headaches.
• Sick Thursday
• Finished ironing out final wrinkles in the TSS event/name server setup on ipp003 (crontab not setup for account/permissions) and adding more open IP access for mysql from odyssey cluster.
• UK liaison? Looking into some oddities with the SAS2 data release.
• Started looking at the DIFF_* and FLAGS2 for diffims in more detail for Larry and for possible feedback with some of the possible convolution issues.
• Continuing to monitor convolution direction comparisons with recent data and add to ppSub testing plan wiki when time.
