Description

Weekly FPGA stand-up meeting at ORI. This week we talk about Remote Lab repairs, and Andre successfully completed LDPC work and is starting on more GSE blocks.

A

All right welcome to the fpga stand up at open research institute for november 2nd 2021. This is a stand-up where we do what we've done over the past week, what we have planned to do over the next week, if there's any resources needed or any roadblocks that need to be removed, and you have the floor. Paul.

B

Okay, well in the remote lab, we've still been working on cleaning up the broken disk drives. It turns out. There are two disk drives that have a problem. One of them was throwing errors and the other one actually has a broken connector on it.

B

So we've replaced those with two new drives and two more new drives are coming in to enhance the array, so we'll be back to we're already back to where we were to start with, with two discs in the area plus the two cache drives and when we're done, we'll have four disks in the array, plus the two caster eyes: double parity and twice as much storage, so that'll be a nice upgrade that should be done by the next time we meet here, maybe even sooner than that, and we're working toward doing the uh the video demo again this time on video for a zoom call for a local club and that's about all that's going on, I don't have any any roadblocks or anything really planned for next week, except finishing that.

A

Okay, yeah and I'm all in on the demo, and look forward to giving that presentation. It will be tomorrow evening, u.s time and then that recording will also be be published to to youtube um and the that'll conclude the demo for this particular incremental product and we'll be packaging up by a beacon for southern california and anywhere else that wants one the design will be be published and the goal is to make it reproducible.

A

Okay. That concludes my report as well. I don't have any any. I don't know of any roadblocks or any resources that that are needed. Moving forward um yeah, I think we're in we're in good shape for tomorrow, night.
