Updates

David Hahn

  • PLBenchmarks: ready for review

  • Good discussions with OE folks: Chris, Gaetano, Simon, Jeff

  • Some simulations with Mobley Lab

  • Still thinking on how results should be stored in repository

  • David is going to drive forward with some ideas on how to organize data as needed for downstream conclusions

Updates

Simon Boothroyd

  • Working to get paprika merged

    • some way off in terms of what’s needed for evaluator, what’s needed for paprika

    • want to make sure Jeff’s work feels supported, so aiming to get this resolved quickly

Updates

    • Simon is planning to review

Updates

David Dotson

  • QCArchive work; prod environments now under our control for deployment

  • First MM dataset rolling through with openff, amber ff

Paprika

Simon

  • Initial implementation wasn’t great

  • There have been ad-hoc additions since

  • Simon will create a new feature branch, with a PR per component module into that branch

    • new component branches are far along

    • there are places that he is refactoring to be broken up into more reasonably-sized workflow components

    • Once PRs are up, David review

  • David will focus on getting the paprika (package) PR to merge

    • Needs docstrings, for example

    • David will focus on getting a release of paprika with this PR

Data Management

Simon + David Hahn

  • Cooking up ideas for data storage, especially wrt physical measurements

  • These are places where new schemas likely make a lot of sense

  • DD: I would like the diagram of our pipeline expanded to include physical properties, free energies so we can then reason about how these pieces fit together at a high level

    • very excited about these next stages, and what ideas Simon and David (Hahn) are brewing!
