Attendees

  • Kenneth (UGent)
  • Alan (CECAM)
  • Martin, Ivar (SURF)
  • Davide (MS Azure)

Notes

  • unclear whether OCRE credits really expire end of 2024...
    • Alan/Kenneth remember that as a no
    • ~50k available from OCRE credits, can also be used for EESSI
    • also ~40k available for EESSI (from start, sponsored by MS Azure)
  • current burn rate for EESSI
    • ~6k for dev.eessi.io for 2024Q4
    • last 6 months for "EESSI HPC Research": ~20k
      • expected for 2024: ~30k
    • would be good to limit burn rate going into 2025
      • 5k/month for 3-6 months into 2025 would be OK
    • could bring down dev.eessi.io cluster in Azure, and move that somewhere else
    • could move some stuff to SURF Research Cloud
  • should have a plan by end of 2025Q1 on how to continue with sponsored credits
    • need input from Laura on this
  • any follow-up calls similar to OCRE?
  • upcoming events related to EESSI
    • presence at HIPEAC 2025
    • ISC'25
      • tutorial submission + EESSI BoF
