Minutes of meeting:
-------------------

Update on machine availability
******************************

 - E4/GPU Rack are physicaly inside CINECA, openning is planned around 13 October
 - No change for now for FPGA cluster - available mid October

Login procedures
****************

 - E4/GPU: Still no new from Carlo Cavazzoni but Victor Cameo Ponz should see
   him in person next week


Basics for energy mesurement on BULL/Atos KNL machine
*****************************************************

Update for BEO, that is now available.
 - Generate an rsa key and send the public part to svp@cines.fr.
 - You will be able to call BEO through SSH and get basic job energy reports.
 - Please consult a more detailed documentation on the machine itself:
   ``/opt/software/frioul/documentation/beo_usage.txt``
 - You will also find complete user guides for HDEEVIZ (vizualisation part not available yet) and
   BEO in the same directory


Figures that will be included in the final deliverable (performances & energy related)
**************************************************************************************

 - it could be interesting, if possible and meaningfull, to run the same simulation on
   different set of nodes to get some kind of scalability on power figures.
