Areas of concern and ideas.ChemIT's roleNotes
Participants bring own laptop which can run required software. (none)Must specify OS, hard drive space, and capabilities (RAM, proc). Other info?

All software required for the workshop portion must be properly characterized and made available.

  • Q: Require only non-computationally intensive examples for the workshop?
  • Q: Timing? Get information and software ahead of time to facilitate provisioning participants' laptops and any backups. Deadlines matter!
  • Q: How much variety will be acceptable in OS (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, etc) and applications (versions)?
 (none)

Q: Will participants have time to install, configure, test and de-bug software?

Q: When will they do this, with what support, and still have time to participate in the workshop?

Includes dependencies such as operating system (version, bit-level) and required supporting applications (such as Matlab).

Provision back-up resources to participants' laptops.

Explore ideas, with John Franck, and clarify related procedures to the degree ChemIT is involved or otherwise responsible. Timing matters!

Effort and turn-around time required to provision backups is a concern for a one-day event. Especially to provision "just-in-case" needs.

For nowInitially, focus focused on these ideas:

  • VMs provided by workshop, for participants to use on own laptops.
  • CISER (Windows, Matlab)

Other ideas include:

  • . Oliver found cost and process. Not a good fit since workshop is using 2 OSes, Linux and Windows.

Starting 514/15, started to focus on one of our other ideas:

  • CloudVM (Amazon, Azure, etc). Create and clone. Price?
  • Loaner laptops from CCB undergrad labs. Turn around effort and time to clone to meet workshop's needs?

Other ideas include:

  • CloudVM (Amazon, Azure, etc). Create and clone. Price?
  • ACERT's Eldor: What services can it provide? And will it only be able to support just a few people (6-7?) at at time, due to performance limitations?
  • Use public computers, such as at Mann Library and the like.
