- Good production will all sites at or near capacity after MWT2 recovered from the dCache upgrade (and before too!)
- NET2 did extensive work on their network which led to some reduction in production.
- Quarterly reporting submitted before official deadline but well after Shawn's requested date.
- Still working on getting HEPSpec06 to run on the benchmarking machines that Dell provided.
- Needed to compare HEPScore to HEPSpec to understand how the $/HS stacks up.
- NET2 has negotiated a good price ~$5.30/HEPSpec for servers with dual 128C/256T AMD 9754 Bergamo CPUs (512T total).
- Dell tells me that NVMe is cheaper than SAS and Rafael's results show using NVMe improves the HEPScore significantly.
- There will be no Tier 2 technical meeting next week because of S&C Week and the reminder email will be marked as canceled.
- I have corrected the length and dates of the technical meetings in Indico.
- I will miss the Jamboree because of a conflicting TRT meeting in Bonn. I will join the S&C week on Wednesday morning.
- I need a speaker for the topical talk in two weeks...
