Hackathon Ideas for 2016 All-Hands Meeting

Jun 09, 2016

First ACME Hackathon!

Following an expressed by some interest in connecting with remote team members to code (or hack on) some lingering piece of code, an algorithm or to prototype or test an application or explore some new solutions, we reserved one day to the First ACME Hackathon.

We invite all ACME members to propose Ideas/Teams and Plans for the Hackathon that will take place on June 10th, 2016. Hackathon offers a time to brainstorm, innovate, develop, experiment and improve a code, it fosters creativity and allows one to connect and closely collaborate with otherwise remote team members.

 

Please propose the idea, list team members and deliverables in the table below. The proposed idea should be relevant to ACME mission, ACME code or application development. It should be a relatively small project that at the end of the day should deliver a working piece of code or solution to a stated problem. Idea submission due date:  Tuesday, May 31, 2016. 

Please include in Your submission:

  • short title (in Idea Short Title)

  • your name (in Submitter)

  • members of your team ( in Team Members)

  • explain your idea, please provide short description and work plan (in Idea Pitch/ Description/ Plan)

  • add proposed deliverable that should be achievable at the end of the day (in Proposed Deliverable)

  • if you have any special needs for a specific room, equipment or other, please include it in Special Needs?

  • please add any other notes in Notes section

Land model point mode/UQ hands on

Dan Ricciuto

Dan Ricciuto, Khachik Sargsyan, Peter Thornton

Demonstrate python-based workflow for execution of point-mode simulations for ALM, which can be useful for diagnosis and evaluation of new model developments. We will also walk through the steps required to run a model ensemble and sensitivity analysis. We will take suggestions from users about possible new options, and implement these as time allows.

Improved workflow scripts and documentation for ALM point model and parametric UQ

Interested land modelers are welcome to suggest specific questions that we can target in this breakout.

CIME integration

Andreas Wilke

Robert Jacob, James Foucar, Andreas Wilke, Jason Sarich, Anshu Dubey, Jayesh Krishna

CIME4 is undergoing some changes, e.g. new configuration and scripts, which are improving usability and performance. Those changes have to be integrated and tested within ACME.

The process would be essentially similar for V1 production runs.

UV-CDAT Documentation Sprint

UV-CDAT's documentation needs some touching up; I'm going to be taking a pass through and cleaning up some of the docstrings to allow for a nice autogenerated API document, and working on getting a better documentation suite for UV-CDAT.
