PyCBC Remote Meeting 16 17 September 2021
The broader PyCBC community is holding a virtual meeting on the 16th and 17th September 2021. This will consist of two afternoon sessions on those two days. The first day will focus on updates about infrastructure changes and developments, with chance for people to highlight short-author work using PyCBC through sparkler talks. The second day will be a chance for people to work together, and participate in a "hackathon" to remove python2 backwards-compatibility from much of the PyCBC code base (and in doing so learn a little about how everything all fits together).
All times are given in UTC. UK time is UTC+1, CEST is UTC+2, PST is UTC-7 (those are the two timezones that Alex and I work in, please add others here so I don't get it wrong!)
Many of these are from the several workshops held by the GWOSC.
- Accessing open data / calibration : Argata Trovato
- LIGO Strain and data quality : Jess McIver
- Searches for Compact Binaries: Ian Harry
These follow materials in the PyCBC Tutorials repository.
- Basic of PyCBC: Alex Nitz
- Parameter Estimation with PyCBC: Collin Capano
- 12:00 (15 minutes) - Introductions
- 12:15 (10 minutes) - Retiring python2, v2.0.0 release plans, high-level roadmap (Alex Nitz)
- 12:25 (20 minutes) - Pegasus5 and PyCBC workflows in v2.X.X. (Ian Harry)
- 12:45 (10 minutes) - Using PyCBC to solve the problems of 3G observatories (Duncan Brown)
- 12:55 (20 minutes) - PE developments (Sumit Kumar)
- 13:15 (10 minutes) - Challenges of including LISA into PyCBC (Connor Weaving and Laura Nuttall)
- 13:25 (10 minutes) - How can we make PyCBC more accessible to new users? (Archana Pai)
Sparkler talks for short author works. Duration will depend on number of interested parties. If we get few requests these can be longer talks, if there's lots we can do shorter APS, or even sparkler-style talks, with a longer recorded talk available (if desired) to give more details to anyone interested??
Deadline Friday 10th to email Alex+Ian with interest.
Hackathon and group discussions. We'll use Zoom's Breakout Room functionality for this (make sure you have an up-to-date Zoom client!), which allows you to freely join and move about breakout rooms.
Possible Group Discussion Topics (Please propose more!)
- Future detector development
- 3G oriented developments (ET/CE/NEMO)
- low frequency / space-based (LISA/TAIJI/TIANQIN/DECIGO)
- Integration of PyCBC with Astropy
Hackathon Topics (please add your own items of interest!)
- PE optimizations
