Agenda

  • Update on BoF proposal for SC19
  • Discussion of changes for V1.0 in time for SC19
  • Any other Business

SC19 proposal is due end of July. Ryan has draft text. Mostly time is planned to discuss things. Not much of that to be done this year (10 minutes). Crowd based discussion is the idea. How PowerAPI fits into the power work being done. Ryan asked for other ideas on presentations, ... Natalie wishes to send it in today. Steve and Sid offered to help as needed. Ryan said there is text to differentiate PowerAPI and Power Stack. Sid is glad for that. They will share between the two groups.

For V1.0 approval last voting time would be late October. The connections to Power Stack is planned but the PowerStack working groups are not yet started. PS plans to start early August for the WG meetings. Sid asked for PA people to participate in the right groups. Ryan and Sid to discuss when PS is more ready. Ryan asked are there other spec changes to be voted on. Matt to find time to discuss with Steve and then to discuss with Ryan. Extra stuff on scheduler side (probably late august/early september) from Ryan. He will push out notifications to github.

Sid asked about interoperablitly between PA and PS. Sid/Ryan will get together on it.

Sid asked if next venue for F2F is set. Ryan says not yet still working on it. Sid is looking for a time frame is possible so he can schedule. PS will has meeting week before SC near Denver. Ryan said not at SC and it will be earlier. Snark from Steve and Jeff on using Chippewa Falls as a meeting.

Ryan points to ARM work on SNL on Astra. Barry asked is there a RAPL plugin? Ryan says yes but it is sufficient. Barry has PhD student working on power control for ARM so they will sync up.

Sid points out that at PS seminar there is an interest in the community to write a white paper to use for system procurements, proposal writing, ... to highlight having different layers of the software stack to interact. Leverage some of the existing results from research groups. Need for system level power management while being aware of application level. PS plans to work on this white paper before SC. Since it is community effort Sid was asking for once the structure is set he'd like to have PA people provide their data. Ryan asks what are the use cases since they can be variant. Sid agreed and plans to have a sectional approach so that they can aggregated/split as needed. Ryan asked how will participation be done? PS will have a separate working group to write the paper(s). Sid will announce when the group is ready via slack channel and mailing lists.
