We are off again with a new team. The new team consists of Alex Machtay, Alex Patton, Cade Sbrocco, Eliot Ferstl, Evelyn Shank, Mitchell Halley, Scott Janse. A spreadsheet of tasks and deadlines can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CkcdbediFbripdlwPw6UmhAHdAl5IdkL2efaseJkTTM/edit#gid=0

Updates:

We are now running on OSC. We have acquired a version of XF on OSC and have now transferred the loop to OSC. All of the xmacros for XF should be functioning, and we have managed to make the bash script auto import the xmacro scripts to XF when it boots. The loop exists on /fs/projects/PAS0654/BiconeEvolutionOCS. This is a shared copy so that everyone can run off of the same installation. This is important so that we can make sure everyone is pushing edits regularly, and so that everyone is always running with the most up-to-date edits. 

The loop had not yet been tested for it's current status. Alex M. is testing it and we are waiting to hear back. 

Tasks:

• Check continuity of loop
  • Update: Alex M is testing this
• Install Arasim to /fs/projects/PAS0654/BiconeEvolutionOCS to be edited and messed with
  • Update: this has been completed as of 11/5/19
• Test Alex M's code for editing Arasim's Setup.txt variables
• Clean bash script
  • Update: Mitchell is working on this.
• Make version of bash script which writes .job scripts for Arasim
  • This must write a different .job for each individual so it parallelizes Arasim running for each individual
  • The number of .jobs written must depend on $NPOP
    • ie this bash script should be writing .jobs from scratch each time as (1) the number of them we need depends on $NPOP, (2) the names of the input and output files depends on $NPOP. 
      • It should also delete .jobs at the end -- ie when all generations have completed so that we don't have a random number of .jobs floating around. For example, say we run with 10 individuals one time, and it writes 10 .jobs ($NPOP=10), and then the next run we only have $NPOP=5, we will have 5 extra .jobs floating around not being used unless we clean them all at the end line of the run in the bash script. 
  • Update: Work on this has begun by Alex M, Cade, and Evelyn (Alex P has also been messing with Arasim).
• Make XF be submitted as a job
  • Cade has ideas for this.
