• State of play
  • Where are we up to?

    Shane: We haven't done anything (although we've probably learned some things).

  • Can we make some timelines and milestones again?

    Shane: Would like to set time scales for achieving something.

    • Shane: Do we know enough to tell the new employee what to do?

      Fieldml meetings are happening separately. Not much to talk about in this meeting.

      Martyn: Development program (from wiki) is a good starting point.

      Shane: Can we refine that.

      Martyn/Greg: Prioritize solve in parallel (rather than assembly).

    • Greg: Is the problem that we want to get everything right before we start?

      Shane: It is important to do it right. But the first version is not our final product. What we do now should not hold us back from doing it right later.

    • Greg: Can Andre's fem through cmgui be rewritten with MPI.

      Karl: Another option is libmesh which appears provide a more comprehensive existing fem framework.

• Resourcing
  • MPI job progress

    Being levelled when last heard.
