PCP-KNL news
************
Lots of you have asked for BEO access lately and sometimes it had been long to treat them. svp@cines.fr have been notified so they pay more attention to your demands.

Some issues in thread pinning. This can impact performances a lot.
Feedback needed for cache/flat mode on PCP ?

DAVIDE news
***********
The command to get some energy informations on DAVIDE is :code:`get_job_energy <job_id>`. It returns lots of informations and this is still uncertain of wich one exactly match our needs. However "IPMI Measures/Cumulative (all nodes)/Total energy" should the metric that we are looking for. Since don't have detailed documentation I wish you save the whole output of the command for the jobs so we can reprocess the result afterwards.

A. Emerson asked for his contact in Bologne to have more informations.

.. note:: Jobs ran one week ago should have energy metrics reccorded. However, before that the energy stack were not up so you should re-run your jobs.


PCP-FPGA news
*************
Machine has been opened. The 3 people that asked access, now have it.


Questions, concerns and report from BCOs
