Thanks Abid. Would you please change the protections to editable by all so 
that all can contribute to the live notes.
I made an agenda
https://indico.cern.ch/event/750428/
that should be accessible to all. The live notes are linked from it. Those 
not experienced with Vidyo please click 'join' a few minutes before the 
meeting and follow the instructions to download the VidyoConnect app. Once 
you have the app installed and click 'join' again you should be connected. Or 
just come to my BNL office 510A 1-220!

Oops, as Doug just noticed, that time conflicts with our new event 
service/HPC ops meeting.
So we will meet Tue Aug 14 at noon eastern. Sorry for the noise.

We’ll have the first meeting of the distributed training WG on Wed Aug 15 
10am eastern time. Thanks to all who responded to the poll. Agenda to follow, 
suggestions appreciated. We’ll use Vidyo (the ATLAS/CERN standard 
videoconferencing tool) unless that presents a problem for someone.

Hi Rob,
Very interesting, thanks! It does sound relevant. For a future meeting you're 
able to attend...

Hi Torre

Unfortunately I’m on ‘staycation’ until Aug 22.  I keep missing these 
important meetings!  I did want to mention potentially relevant work we did 
supporting  this year’s CoDaS-HEP training event at Princeton 
(http://codas-hep.org).  We (Ilija, Benedikt, Lincoln) built a portal and 
backend to scale out to CHASE-CI — gpu resources on the Pacific Research 
Platform:  http://codas.slateci.net/.  There were some lessons learned there 
about sign-ups (using institutional identity management) and Kubernetes 
scheduling (we had 60 JupyterLabs running each attached to its own GPU).  We 
plan to create a version of this to support the new ATLAS analytics platform 
(for ML to Elasticsearch for ADC analytics), in time for the Oct S&C week.   
It looks like this might be a little outside the scope here but perhaps parts 
could be re-purposed for potential user frontends.

Cheers,
- Rob

Hi,
We are planning a first meeting of the distributed training working group, 
one of the working groups defined at last month’s US ATLAS / CSI workshop at 
BNL. If you’re interested in attending please fill in the doodle:
https://doodle.com/poll/iayykxwd94isqdf4
The distributed training WG is to examine the scaling out of ML training 
across distributed/parallel resources in order to minimize the turnaround 
time on network tuning and ML studies. The technical approaches to be looked 
at include those discussed in the workshop; cf. the talks of Abid (Horovod), 
Alexei (PanDA), and Amir.  It was agreed at the workshop to define concrete 
objectives for the WG by the end of September, so that will be the main topic 
of this meeting.
  Abid & Torre
