Project Meeting 2021.06.15

Agenda

• Rebooting our project management plan moving forward
  • AMPO working on contract routing / NTPs
  • Tuesday meetings from now on have specific topics planned ahead of time
  • Thursday remains an admin meeting
  • Will discuss project admin plan some more on Thursday
• Transit pass model documentation updated
  • Document updated, please @Review
  • We can update doc once SEMCOG finalizes the implementation
  • MTC and Joel will be doing this for TM2 as well
• Getting started on SANDAG performance improvements review
  • Goal is to understand performance differences from 1 zone to 2 zone
  • Compare model specifications for model implementations
  • Tour mode choice slows from 1 zone to 2 zone, why?
  • Trip destination submodel slows down as well
  • Want to control hardware configuration as well
  • Maybe some stuff from #377 could be helpful as well
  • @Ben and Jeff Newman compare specs and review logging
  • @SANDAG share logfiles, run with same specs across runs, and update example_sandag (by testing on a fork)
  • Created issue #431 for this
• Getting started on conda forge improvements
  • Conda forge is volunteer run and they do quality checks / build process QA/QC
  • Takes a day to a week to get a response from conda forge
  • Need to create conda forge automation script (yaml file kinda like travis) for build process
  • Will need to first create for openmatrix as well
  • Once you tag a release then conda forge does the rest
  • Will do a PR to update the activitysim install and software dev process docs as well
  • Will continue to support pip as well so we have a non-conda compatible version as well
  • Will add folks to conda forge resource owners
  • Will put a copy of the conda forge yaml in the asim repo (and openmatrix repo) so we don't lose track of it
  • @Jeff get started on #424
• ARC update issues
  • Ran into a couple issues updating the ARC model to v1.0, #428 and #429
  • Can we do a PR of changes back to the original repo?
  • Let's improve communication of revisions to agency examples to get the tests working
  • Let's try to make small, separable pull requests labeled with the agency name to better notify partners
  • Try to run tests on the real example
  • Periodically it's good to update the agency examples used in the test system
  • ARC memory issue likely due to need to reconfigure for chunking improvements, i.e. training
  • @Clint to test and let me know if he runs into issues
  • Small ARC test example passed tests but bigger/better/full scale example not part of Travis since the machines are small, like 4GB RAM
  • We need to keep working on improvements to our test system
