Meeting minutes 2019 11 15 - Geant-RnD/ExascaleProxyDocuments GitHub Wiki

Attendees: Philippe, Guilherme, Soon, Seth, Yunsong, Paolo.

Paolo: Thanks for the SOW.

Philippe: You are welcome. Wheel are in motion on our side to setup the contract payment.

Yunsong: Jonathan distracted in the last couple of weeks.

Guilherme: Navigation testing is working better (commenting the vector implementation for now). Fixed compilation in device code. NavigationState does not have the CopyToGPU function. Had to extend some of the code to support both NavigationStatePool and individual NavigationState. Fixing the test and then moving back to GPUs.

Soon: I uploaded crude EM physics model and process into the GeantX proxy subarea. Basic functionality is there. Starting to connect TrackState and connecting the Material. I noticed in the geometry that the test we had no material information (physics needs material cuts and atomic numbers).

Soon: I need the navigationPath to be filled in, so for now I create a dummy one and dummy material information.

Soon: I put Compton so far, later on I will add the rest of the physics process. 3 process for Electrons and 3 process for Photons.

Soon: We are currently dealing with CPU transportation, what is the plan for GPU.

Philippe: We need to make the proxy to run something on the GPU. Need to both have a scheduling part and data transfer part.

Philippe: Connected Magnetic field propagator to navigator. Next is connecting it to proxy and then work with Jonathan to get stuff working on GPU.

Seth: Nothing to mention for the this project. Not sure what I will be working on next. Probably work on the Secondary creator and downloader.
