Jeff has been looking at splitter beam problems we’ve been experiencing as of late. The splitter is not able to process all beams because one of our two data streams is having a problem where it will miss buffers, thowing throws the blanking signals out of sync. Maybe he could figure out how many buffers were missed and then correct for it later.

Also, NTPKCr is running really slow right now.

Dave had no news for this week.

Hey everyone,

Eric is working on proposals for most this week, and is still hard at work on Zone RFI Definitions.

Dave asked for hardware that he could use for BOINC. He has the BOINC alfa project running, and he’d like to have a separate server to run projects on. Eric said it would be fine if he ran it on marvin, it’s pretty stable, so it should be alright.

Jeff, recently back from Nepal, didn’t have too much to say today, but right now he is working on testing out the RADAR blanking software with Matt. He also shared a fantastic photo (one of 1600) of the Himalayas. Although his trip was great fun, he did admit that it was a “scientific wash”—there was no Yeti to be found.

Dave is back from the BOINC conference over in Europe. There was a lot of people there, a lot of talks and papers. The main topics of discussion were GPUs and computing in virtual machines.
