[Go-essp-tech] CMIP5 Web interface requirements matrix

[stephen.pascoe at stfc.ac.uk]

Dear all,

I have merged Luca's suggestions into the CMIP5 GUI requirements matrix and reorganised it substantially.  Apart from those items that are architecture-specific I include most of them, sometimes under a different section.

I'm aware there are some architectural assumptions embedded in this sheet.  For instance, there has been a recent discussion about whether master/replica is the right model for depicting replicas.  It's a pity we're having this discussion now!  For the moment I've kept the replication section as-is.

All scores are my opinion based on variable information.  Sometimes I've assumed something works or is planned in P2P without verifying it, sometimes I've assumed it doesn't after a quick test.  Where there is a "?" anywhere it would be really useful for the developers to contribute.  To this end I'd like to go through the sheet on Tuesday, or make a start at least, so that I can clarify what some items mean.

I know a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since I started this process.  No matter what strategic decisions the CMIP5 cores centres take on our future deployments I hope this matrix will be useful in focusing on the core CMIP5 requirements.

Thanks,
Stephen.

Dear all,

To help the CMIP5 centres plan our upgrade to the next major release of the CMIP5 archive system BADC has been collating a
spreadsheet of web interface requirements with input from PCMDI, DKRZ and MOHC (see attached).  We hope to use this sheet as a tool to plan migration of the CMIP5 web interface at the main CMIP5 centres: PCMDI, BADC and DKRZ.

The sheet is still work in progress and there is lots to discuss and clarify.  I have begun to suggest scores for the three systems being considered, Gateway 1.3.4, Gateway 2.0 and P2P, but these are speculative at this stage, particularly for the P2P system with which I have the least experience.

If there is time I'd like to briefly introduce the sheet at the GO-ESSP telco today and schedule a time for a more thorough discussion.

Cheers,
Stephen.
