ePIC Software & Computing Meeting at UIC

20 Sept 2023, 12:00 → 22 Sept 2023, 13:30 US/Central

613 (UIC Student Center East Tower)

Markus Diefenthaler (Jefferson Lab), Olga Evdokimov (UIC), Sylvester Joosten (Argonne National Laboratory), Torre Wenaus (BNL), Wouter Deconinck (University of Manitoba)

Welcome to the first in-person meeting of the ePIC Software & Computing effort! We are thrilled to invite you to this exciting event taking place from September 20 to 22 at the University of Illinois Chicago campus. 

The purpose of the meeting is to collectively drive forward priority targets and provide an avenue for new collaboration members to actively engage: 

• Reconstruction Workflow: What is the algorithmic workflow for a holistic reconstruction of physics events?
• Streaming Computing Model: What open questions require attention prior to the ePIC Software & Computing review on October 19 and 20? What is the progress status of the review preparations? The charge of this review covers an assessment of the ePIC Computing Model in preparation for the EIC Resource Review Board (RRB) meeting in December 2023. 
• User Learning: How can we expedite the process of creating instructional material for onboarding new users and developers
• Validation: How can a collaboration member access the accuracy and quality of our simulations?

We will use Live Notes to capture the discussion. 

In-Person Meeting: The meeting will be held in room 613 in the Student Center East Tower located at the corner of Halsted Street and Harrison Street near downtown Chicago. Please see the map for details. 

Remote Meeting: We will use Zoom for the remote meeting:
