Physics Software and Computing Kickoff

Tuesday 26 Nov 2024, 13:00 → 14:00 US/Central

Zoom

* David Lange:
-- Received FY24 funding to support a few months of a postdoc to work on analysis software.
-- Recent progress on coffea/edm4hep integration, working through a breaking change in data format.  Few months away from tools ready for broader use.

* Paolo:
-- Speaking on behalf of HEP-CCE, they are happy to help and support these efforts with HPC requests, etc.  Interested in GPU-friendly version of detector description for core s/w, multi-threading generally, etc.
-- -- David: there is effort on multithreading in GEANT, can discuss more offline.

* Sapta:
-- What is the plan for coordinating across different communities?  Will there be liaisons/coordinators?
-- -- Mike/Lothar: Will appoint L3 managers to cover activities in PS&C.  No "official" liaisons at the moment, will re-evaluate this frequently as US community takes off.
-- Will there be inputs from this community to ESG?
-- -- Mike/Lothar: Yes, on behalf of US-HFCC.  PS&C will prepare inputs for HFCC, which will then be collected with other Level-2 area notes into a summary for ESG.

* Frank Gaede
-- Great to see US efforts launching
-- EOI's for detector concepts due in January, US should consider participating there
-- Monthly US-timezone-friendly Key4HEP meetings, feel free to join

* Sasha:
-- Can SLAC meeting cover a summary of available datasets, timelines for future MC campaigns?
