Not this time A number of overlapping projects with base program Scalable Systems Software (Remy funding thru Science Appliance) Science Appliance – Linux BIOS and Fault tolerance ukernel effort – for C-Plant Advanced Programming Models – looking at performance and expressibility About mid-summer will have a all CS PI meeting including the above. What is the view of this particular ISIC Notebooks get a gold star Training other ISICs to use this He sees two goals – interface standard and reference implementation Both need to be made progress on. Grab low fruit early. Have very clear measures of progress

Meeting notes What do you want us to do WRT filling out the interaction chart There are parallel startup connections The PI meeting may show other connections Need a clear statement of what interactions SSS are appropriate Getting information back to the user ASCI coordination with SciDAC is underway.
