Current Work

The ongoing work and completed work includes:

1. Discussed PAPBNRR compilation with Angelos.
   • Angelos compiled everything successfully
2. Discussed the required script modifications for PAPBNRR with Angelos.
3. Locate process pinning within ITK (Fotis' version)
   • This has been temporarily resolved by reserving an entire node on Turing
   • Modifications to ITK to remove pinning are on the todo list
4. Focus is currently on reduction of intermediary temporary files
   1. Locate where files are first written and remove need for empty initial files
   2. Locate where files are read/used
   3. The goal is to keep structures in memory and
      1. pass the in-memory structures between PAPBNRR and PODM
         • CBC3D requires a separate set of modifications independent of PODM
         • (Converters)
      2. keep data structures in memory between PAPBNRR iterations

The current focus (i.e., immediate action items) include:

1. Review the scripts created by Angelos (Accessible Friday, 6 April, afternoon).
2. Explore feasibility of the gnu parallel utility within Angelos' SLURM scripts.
3. Modify MPI driver to archive output (image, deformation, HD) for each job
4. Explore Python Multi-threaded driver

These items are short term expected to be complete end of day Monday, 9 April.
