• This WP task was listed in the original Phase B proposal with the accompanying text, "The workflow will also be ported onto generic High Performance Computing (HPC) systems e.g. DiRAC/IRIS".
• @mandabanerji explained that the task was included in WP3.5 at its outset when it was not clear what would be involved in porting to other HPC systems.
• @mandabanerji and @raphaelshirley explained that it has proven easier to undertake and reported on this HPC porting and execution as part of the other already ongoing WP3.5 tasks and so it no longer requires a separate WP task.
• @tms-epcc will note this in the change request for MS26.

• Change request C050 explains

  In the original Phase B proposal, task WP3.5.4 from WP3.5 is titled “Import and execute workflow onto generic HPC systems”. The proposal also includes the following text referring to the task, “The workflow will also be ported onto generic High Performance Computing (HPC) systems e.g. DiRAC/IRIS”. In addition, requirement R5.08 is “Results of running benchmarking tests on the pipeline in order to scope out future computational requirements”. The WP3.5 team wish to remove this task from their ongoing plans since this activity is already being undertaken as part of other WP3.5 tasks and so no longer requires a dedicated task. The results of the cpu time and disk space benchmarking associated with the requirement have been reported in deliverables D3.5.1 and D5.5.2 and final benchmarking results for the latest version of the LSST Science Pipelines will be presented in the final deliverable D3.5.3 due in March 2023.
