| Num | Label | Milestone | Expected | Certified |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | A | Software engineering plan completed in compliance with template provided by GSFC. This includes: Software Engineering / Development Plan, Configuration Management Plan, and Quality Assurance Plan. |
01/15/02 | 04/02/02 |
| 2. | O1 | Linux Cluster Installed. Installation of a 48-node Linux cluster at UM. A 48-processor dual-processor Athlon-based (or equivalent) Linux cluster is configured, ordered and installed by the University of Michigan. UM will contribute $50K to the purchase of this machine. The machine will be used for code development, performance evaluation, and production runs. |
01/31/02 | 07/26/02 |
| 3. | E | Code baseline completed. Baseline GMM module with AMR on the fly (based on BATS-R-US with electrostatic UAM) at maximum resolution on the CT Testbed and CT Linux cluster for a space weather event. Will provide code scaling curves demonstrating at least P/2 scaling to 256 processors on the CT testbed and to as many nodes as available on the Beowulf. Deliver specification of the physical problem being simulated. Documentation includes: Requirements Document/v1.0 (requirements traceability matrix), and Software Design Documents/v1.0. Documented source code made publicly available via the Web (ITAR regulations apply). |
03/31/02 | 11/03/02 |
| 4. | H | Design policy for interoperability and community delivery agreed on. Define and deliver document for software framework supporting SWMF. Hold at least two community workshops to define interfaces between physics domains. Present the design to a review board composed of representatives of CCMC, NOAA SEC, the ESMF design team, and the CT Project. Documentation is reviewed by the CT Project. Design policy (PDF, PostScript) posted on Web. Documentation includes: Updates to Requirements Document and Design Documents, and Initial version of Test Plan/Procedures Documents. |
07/31/02 | 01/06/03 |
| 5. | B | First Annual Report delivered. Submit FY02 Annual Report to CT via Web. |
08/31/02 | 01/06/03 |
| 6. | F | First code improvement completed Improve time to solution of Baseline code by 5 times with same resolution both on CT Testbed and CT Linux cluster. Provide code scaling curves and deliver documented source code via the Web. |
01/31/03 | 03/12/03 |
| 7. | I | Interoperability prototype from Milestone H tested with improved codes. Demonstrate interoperation of IHM, GMM, IMM, and UAM in prototype SWMF. Deliver documented version of code to CCMC and NOAA SEC for testing and evaluation. Present the prototype to a review board composed of representatives of CCMC, NOAA SEC, the ESMF design team, and the CT Project. Documentation is reviewed by the CT Project. Documented source code made publicly available via the Web (ITAR regulations apply). |
07/31/03 | 12/19/03 |
| 8. | C | Second Annual Report delivered. Submit FY03 Annual Report to CT via Web. |
08/31/03 | 12/19/03 |
| 9. | G | Second code improvement completed. Improve time to solution of Baseline code by 15 times with same resolution both on CT Testbed and CT Linux cluster. Measure accuracy against a fully explicit run. Provide code scaling curves. Documented source code made publicly available via the Web (ITAR regulations apply). |
12/31/03 | 04/05/04 |
| 10. | J | Full interoperability demonstrated using improved codes. Demonstrate faster than real-time full interoperation of SCM, EEG, SEP, IHM, GMM, IMM, RBM, and UAM in SWMF using at least 256 nodes on Teraflops Scalable Testbed. Present SWMF to a review board composed of representatives of CCMC, NOAA SEC, the ESMF design team, and the CT Project. Documentation is reviewed by the CT Project. Documentation includes: Updates to Requirements, Design, and Test Documents; Test Reports of interoperability tests; and Initial User's Guide. Documented source code made publicly available via the Web (ITAR regulations apply). |
06/30/04 | 11/05/04 |
| 11. | K | Customer delivery accomplished. Port the SWMF to a different architecture than the Teraflops Scalable Testbed and demonstrate its operation (such as the CT Linux cluster and machines used by CCMC and NOAA SEC). Demonstrate science capabilities by running a space weather event. Documentation is reviewed by the CT Project. Documentation includes: Updated Test Plans/Procedures to reflect portability tests; Updated User's Guide; Maintenance Manual(s); and Updates to Requirements and Design Documents to reflect as-built system. Documented source code made publicly available via the Web (ITAR regulations apply). |
09/30/04 | 04/22/05 |
| 12 | D | Final Report delivered. Submit Final Report to CT via the Web. |
