(DRAVG Issues and Concerns)

Notes from WBS entries

a) Tasks required before the start of the survey:

Task	Due	Who	State	Notes
IPP to OTIS interface	3/12	CZW	DONE	we now need to iterate with OTIS
Detectability Server : psphotDetect	3/19	CZW	DONE	output values must be double-checked
Detectability Server : pstamp integration	3/26	CZW	DONE	Tested and Committed.
Raw Distribution	3/12	WS	DONE
DVO large-file upgrade	3/21	EAM	DONE
DVO merge catalogs	3/25	EAM	DONE
DVO Image-indexing	3/27	EAM	DONE

b) Tasks not required for the survey start:

Task	Due	Who	State	Notes
Finish Extended Source Analysis Code	3/31	EAM		petrosians, surface brightness profile done
Stack Photometry Process	4/30	EAM		Initial version of the code is now working
Stacks : example PS1 astrometry	3/19	PAP	DONE	this led to discovery of a 1/2 pixel error which caused many problems
Stacks : masking strategy	3/26	PAP	DONE
Plan for 3pi re-processing for stacks	4/30	PAP
Full-Scale Photometry & Astrometry Relative Calibration Demo	3/31	EAM	DONE	once with SAS, again with 3pi yz data
IPP->PSPS : missing detection fields	4/31	RH		requires input from EAM?
IPP->PSPS : missing difference fields	4/31	RH		requires input from EAM?
IPP->PSPS : stack tables	4/31	RH		blocked by 'extended source' task above
IPP->PSPS : finalize recalibration process	4/31	RH		blocked by 'Full-Scale Photometry.. Demo'
ISP automation : create detrends	3/31	HAF	DONE
ISP automation : update recipes	4/7	HAF	DONE
Distribution of Detrend Images	3/31	CZW	DONE
Integrated Release of Uncorrected Data	4/30	PAP

Tasks for the Immediate Future (these overlap the above)

• major missing features : required for the start of the survey
  • detectability server (integration with postage stamp server in progress)

• major missing features : important, but not blocking start of the survey
  • extended source analysis
  • stack photometry
  • ipp->psps interface
  • integrated release of uncorrected data
  • processing recipe for final stacks

• major demo month lessons to be addressed
  • keeping the pantasks queues filled
  • address large load spikes
  • operational rigidity
  • how to deal with down machines (on-the-fly replication?)
  • address real vs nfs failures
  • address real failures
  • more load and disk space balancing (machine limits by job?)
  • better targeting of data to nodes
  • more regular operations schedule - procesing czar
  • better tools for examining current state (more ippMon? more other tools?)

• current dev tasks
  • addstar imports from UKIDSS & SDSS
  • optimize dvo image lookups

• cluster management
