• HTCondor-CE operation is smooth. No longer see lost heartbeats in Panda (was due to the CE incorrectly marks running jobs as completed)
  • Installing the top-of-the-rack switch for the new blades. Next will be to test configuration with bare metal host, 8 core VMs, 16 core VM, etc. to understand the overhead. 
  • Event Service jobs seems to be running OK. Still  have the issue about preempting those jobs. May need to change the job definitions (Existing jobs run for many hours, and can't be preempted. So we can't use them to fill the opportunistic resources)
  • Power work today (Wednesday) and in January.
  • Working on spending the remaining 2015 funds on blades (same configuration)
