David, I've not participated in this meeting before, so ignore this if you wish. For Friday, benchmarking performance changes due to Spectre/Meltdown parching. It's all very app-dependent, and the community has to have a quantative answer in defence of a user whinging "it's all got much slower." -- Martin Bly Tier1 Fabric Manager ________________________________ From: David Colling<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Sent: ý15/ý01/ý2018 23:33 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Read this and make suggestions - or else it is your own fault! Dear All, I hope that you are still refreshed from the Christmas break and that the hallow that you have from dry January has not started to slip. For once, I am trying to send this email out in plenty of time. This is a call for two related items: - we are due a technical meeting on Friday and we need something interesting to discuss. - we have GridPP40 coming up in April and we need an interesting set of things to discuss there - otherwise it will turn into predictable tedium and we will have nobody else to blame except ourselves! So I suggest that we have suggestions for both and that on Friday we have a technical discussion and then a discussion about what technical issues that we want to discuss in April. So suggestions please. Best, david
