All, Unfortunately I won't attend todays conference call since it is overlapped with my terrible class hours (3pm-8pm). These wield class hours will be moved to Friday from the next week. Here is my status. I am working on SSM test bed, and last week I went through SSM requirement and the specification of current testing servers which are shared with many other project works. Also studying on SSM test codes. Best regards, Seok Bae Yun

libssi0.3 Super Alpha Drop (resend!)
by Curry, Matthew Leon 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Sorry for the delay on this. We're still kicking tires on it, but there's an initial checkin for libssi at the following URL: https://svn.cis.uab.edu/hpcl/Nebula/SSI/ssi-0.3 The README has valuable information on how to use libssi, and a quick-and-dirty port of the storage server module has been included. Let me know if there are any questions. Matthew

Dear all, I am currently in India and won't be able to make the call today. For my status update, I am currently implementing the max flow algorithm for the bottleneck analysis and will finish it this week. Along with that, I am working on setting up experiments for determining time stamps for authorization of LWFS. I will be on the call next week. Thanks, Benafsh
