Notes

Updates from MolSSI

  • BP - Not much. Ongoing discussion about SPICE. Some talk about new postdoc doing resubmission, but that may not be the best idea.

  • PB – DD will discuss SPICE with JC.

    • DD – Just spoke with JC. Near-term I’ll give PE direction on how to filter dataset for hdf5 creation, and he’ll upload a new version to zenodo. Medium term (not urgent) they’re thinking of offloading ML dataset stuff on OpenFF or MolSSI postdoc from NIH grant. BP, thoughts?

    • BP – Not sure it’ll be handy to learn about current QCF/QCP when we’re going to change that in a few months with the next release. MY postdoc is only learning the next branch.

    • DD – Once the next branch is out, would that postdoc be useful for datasets?

    • BP – To some extent, they’ll mostly be doing new feature work but some dogfooding could help them as a developer.

    • DD – Gotcha. JC and MS will contact you soon. I’ll spearhead resubmission. OpenFF isn’t obligated to do SPICE stuff unless the new postdoc comes online.

    • JW – Right, eventually openFF would get to this, but this would be in at least a few months. If it’s needed sooner then someone else would need to provide the resources.

    • PB – Will new postdoc help wtih porting qcsubmit?

    • BP – That’s on my plate, it’s about 75% done.

    • DD + JW – Thanks, BP!

  • BP – Ran backups over the weekend. Still waiting to hear about college of science grant for new equipment.

Infrastructure advances

  • JW – ForceBalance 1.9.4 is broken. If you use it you’ll get errors. If you somehow don’t get errors, stop using it.

  • PB – Yeah, I got those erros so I’m using 1.9.3.



Throughput status

OpenFF PEPCONF OptimizationDataset v1.0

  • PB – 4025 → 4039 (2 weeks), 156 errored out, may be they are large jobs and taking time to error out and also there are not many workers. Not a priority now, can set up workers and leave.

  • DD – I’ll check on this when I have time.

User issues/questions

 

Science needs

  • CC – May add protein datasets after I see how the first round of protein benchmarks does.

Move to semiweekly?

  • DD – SHould we make this call semiweekly?

  • (General) – Yes

  • PB – I’ll update the calendar.
