Strategy check in and product owner notes (done pre meeting by Chad)

These are things that I feel like are looming over us but very close to resolving

  • Online MDC - things to be fixed/changed for MDC12
    • Pastro - is that now solved? Victoria’s recent plots seem to look pretty good. We need just a couple more definititve statements on this and we should try to wrap this up this sprint
    • I think it is time to start building more QoL tools and services for our observation run, e.g., additional diagnostic plots such as
      • dt dphi LR terms
      • custom event pages showing details about the state of the analysis around events
      • ability to run code to follow up events in case e.g., an analysis was down etc
  • Online real data
    • A discovery is possible and we want to be ready
    • Did we restart with the fix to PSD message and reburn in? I am worried that or LR distribution was too wonky and the hypothesis was horizon history. We need to sort that out.
    • Be ready to upload to gracedb and to setup alerts if possible
  • Code versions
    • Is it time to start working towards a release and plan for how we do O4 code updates and management (online primarily)
  • Offline analysis
    • We need to close the loop on R&P injections plan, things are looking good there though!
    • We need to close the loop on online rerank but things are looking good there too
    • Offline workflow rework: going through a small bns test recently has solidified my optinion that our current workflow tries to automate too much and we are constantly hacking around it. I would like to see continued pushing towards modular bits that are well polished and can be combined together to solve a particular problem. Some of this work has already begun, but I think that we still need to discuss it further, but off the top of my head we need
      • A svd bank dag that is robust (I think this exists)
      • an injection file making dag that is robust*
      • an injection frame generation dag that is robust*
      • (* R&P will do this for us, but we still need to be able to do it ourselves)
      • a PSD measuring dag that is robust
      • a filtering only dag that is robust
      • an injection filtering only dag that is robust
      • a rank (rerank) dag that is robust
    • The filtering dags should be written to scale on the OSG and support
      • One SVD bank per job processing more time
      • We need to check that the clustering built into gstlal inspiral is “good enough” to produce small files for the rerank (it seems to be true online)
  • Calibration monitoring
    • It seems we have no choice but to get things working in Conda igwn
  • Online.ligo.org
    • We need to put on a good showing here when meeting with David and Peter, you only have one chance at a good first impression.
  • Papers
    • Performance
    • Count tracker
    • LR
  • CC* compute for the PIs and tracking our OSG contributions.

ISSUES OF NOTE

Perhaps things that need issues?
