## Wind Generation Regulation Requirement

- Using Statistical Method of Average Deviation
- Since the Regulation Varies Positively & Negatively, We Used Absolute Value of Average Deviation
- The Formula for This Function is:
**1/n ****Σ**** | A –** Ā | , Where Ā is the mean in the data set and n is the number of data in a set.

## Slide 10

## Wind Generation at MB (Capacity 5.4 MW)
Extracted 44, 640 Points of Data (minutes)
For Dec. 2002, we had:
	Absolute Value of Aveg Deviation 1.81 MW
For July 2002, we had:
	Absolute Value of Aveg Deviation 1.75 MW
The Regulation Requirement of 31% for these two months.
Including Jan and Feb. Data, and other Wind Farms, we arrived at 27% Requirements.

## InterLab 06

- In conclusion...

## Thank You ...

- For attending InterLab 06
- We hope your experience was a positive one, that you gathered a lot of information that you can take back, that you met people and established collaborations, that you will continue to support InterLab with constructive input, new ideas,  presentations ....

## We heard about ...

- Usability ...
- Effective Web content ...
- Semantic web, trust, social networks ...
- Web 2.0 ...
- Ajax ...
- e-Labs ...
- Ruby, Rails
- ... ...

## We found that ...

- We all worry about similar things ...
- Content
- Looks
- Design elements
- Search engines
- Accessibility
- ....

## We saw ...

- New ways to present information ...
- We saw a web hacker (he even had the nerve to say it!) in action. Made us wonder on ...
- What do we do wrong?
- Why are things different now for webmasters?
- What has changed?
- Where do we go from here?
- What’s coming up?
- Security, what does it involve?

## Things are changing...

- Web pages are not read only objects anymore
- Web pages expect
- Our interaction
- Our willingness to provide information that can be used for lots of purposes
- Dynamic Web pages are REALLY dynamic ... Everyone has something to say, to add to change ...

## We are heading for ...

- Web pages are evolving
- They look more and more like applications (blame everything on video games...)
- New ways of communication
- E-mail is not a very effective collaborative tool.
- It can only reach the people on a list
- It takes too many messages to finalize an idea
- “Outsiders” cannot express their ideas or objections or ...
- Interactive Web pages (wikis ...)
- Allow anyone (who has permission?) to edit the content.
- Is this the way to go for collaboration?
- Massive long e-mails, what’s their future?

## Webmasters role?

- Webmasters need to adjust
- What will be a web page, how will it look if everyone can edit it, what will be its content, its design...?
- How much work will it take to maintain such pages?
- What are the tools for webmasters?
- Security will play a big role, how can webmasters deal with the volume of attacks?
- What training will they need?

## Where are we going?

- The web started small, then became chaotic (still is, this will not change, you have to know something about where you are going, what you are looking for), now are we heading to total chaos and misinformation?
- How can we protect our pages and yet follow the interactivity trends ?
- Social networks how much will they get into our sites?

## Future ...

- I am an optimist ...
- The web future is bright ...
- It will be different ...
- It will change our way of interacting with web pages
- We need to adopt, take advantage of new “features” yet be cautious or skeptical(?) before adopting
- We need to accept the evolution and work within it
- New things might be scary at the beginning simply because we do not know

## THANK YOUSee you all again at the next InterLab workshop, renewed, with new ideas and new innovative ways of designing web pages.

## Novel Processing of SuperconductorsOscar M. Suarez, University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, DMR 0351449

- To realize the potential of MgB2 based superconductors a multi-prong approach is needed to achieve critical properties enhancements via processing. To this end, high energy ball milling was used to obtain nanosized particles, site specific doping, and creation of disorders necessary for properties improvement while avoiding the formation of secondary phases such as types MgO and MgB4 ones due to exposure to atmospheric oxygen and humidity.

- We demonstrated that this can be achieved by employing tightly controlled processing atmospheres, and, showed that failure to quantify the effects of exposure to atmospheric oxygen can explain the disparities in properties reported for MgB2. Based on our findings, the use of ball milling for achieving property enhancements via doping would prove to be a significant contribution to the development of MgB2 based superconductors.

**Partnership for Research and Education on Functional and Nanostructured Materials**

- Scanning Electron Microscope image of MgB2 particles showing particle size dependence with ball milling

- In 2006 the editorial board of the *Superconductor Science and Technology* journal selected a special collection of articles published in that journal to highlight the quality of their research. One of the 32 selected articles was *“Atmospheric conditions and their effect on ball-milled magnesium diboride,” *authored by B. J. Senkowicz, R. Pérez Moyet, R. J. Mungall, J. Hedstrom, O. N. C. Uwakweh, E. E. Hellstrom and D. C. Larbalestier, Supercond. Sci. Technol. 19 [11], November 2006, pp. 1173-1177.

## Issues

- Hit the limit of our L3 farm at the beginning of the record store 3588 (76.7E30 at D0)New nodes had already arrived and went online before store 3589
- During 3589 we lost the fan in the Central Track Trigger rack in the Hall
- This fan caused us troubles already.
- Replacement takes at least one week.We would have to un-cable and remove 2 crates.
- We were able to get it going so far,but now it definitively died.
- A fan tray has been installedto have some airflow.
- We can run in this configurationuntil the shut-down

- The fan is underneath this rack

## 2 compromised stores...

**Store 3592 (Calorimeter, CTT)**
- Two ADC cards failed for the calorimeter. We could fix this during the store, but needed quiet time to recalibrate the new boards.
- With the installation of the fan tray (replacing a heat exchanger) a water leak developed. The trips caused a hardware failure. No CTT.
- Store 3592 was lost Friday evening.
**Store 3594 (CTT)**
- During the access between stores we were not able to fix CTT.
- It all pointed to one board for which we had to put in a slightly different spare. It required experts to come in on Saturday and do firmware modifications during the store.
- This did not do the trick. It took us until early afternoon to figure out the problem, which was fixed during an additional access.
- Store ended earlier at our request.

## ...and another one

**Store 3596 (Muon)**
- Three independent failures at the beginning of the store:Power supply (replaced in an access)Readout crate (could be fixed during the store)Crate controller (replaced in an access)
- Store ended early due to the earthquake

## Muon  vs. Luminosity

**Muon ******** vs. Luminosity**

- The D0 Luminosity measurement is better than 2% (peak-peak) over the full range of instantaneous Luminosity

- Statistical errors only. Errors smaller than dots.

## Summary

**All days this week were above 1.5 pb****-1**** recorded luminosity. 38% higher recorded luminosity than previous best week**
**Six stores in a row above 70E30 initial luminosity (at D0)**
**1⁄2 fb****-1**** delivered luminosity**
**1⁄2 of the recorded luminosity taken in FY04**
**3 store with compromised data...**
**The D0 Luminosity measurement is better than 2% (peak-peak) over the full range of instantaneous Luminosity.**

## GCP Library Implementation Cost/Benefit Analysis

- Julian Borrill
- Chris Cantalupo
- Ted Kisner

## The GC Pointing Library

- Using explicit pointing data for each detector requires
- a) long-term storage
- b) run-time IO
- Instead, only store/read boresight ("generalized") and sparse-sampled ("compressed") pointing & reconstruct detector-specific dense-sampled pointing on the fly, requiring
- c) run-time calculation
- This is a trade-off that needs to be quantified.
- Initially re-use existing (LevelS, DPC) code.

## Calculation Overview

- Generation of specific full from generalized compressed pointing requires
- interpolation from sparse to dense boresight pointing
- translation from dense boresight to dense detector pointing
- Each of these steps involves
- building rotation matrix
- Bi - interpolating sparse to dense samples
- Bt - translating boresight to detector
- trigonometric functions: O(103) flop
- applying the rotation matrix
- A - same for interpolation & translation
- symmetric 3x3 matrix multiplication: O(10) flop
- Currently GCP comprises ~ 50% of Springtide/MADmap run-time !

## Current Implementation

- Given Nd detectors, Ni intervals & Ns dense samples
-  Nd x (Ni x Bt + Ns x (Bi + 2 x A))
- 			~ Nd x Ns x Bi
- 			~ 4 x 109 x 103 				(Trieste)
- 			~ 4 x 1012 flop

| For each detector
    For each interval | App Code |
| --- | --- |
|         Build translation matrix: Bt
            For each dense sample in the interval
                Build interpolation matrix Bi
                Apply interpolation matrix: A
                Apply translation matrix: A | M3/GCP |

## Proposed Implementation

- Given Nd detectors, Ni intervals & ns sparse / Ns dense samples
-  Nd x Bt + ns x Bi + Ns x A + Nd x Ns x A
- 			~ ns x Bi + (Nd + 1) x Ns x A
- 			~ 3 x 107 x 103 + 5 x 109 x 10 		(Trieste)
- 			~ 8 x 1010 flop

| For each detector | App Code |
| --- | --- |
|     Build translation matrix: Bt | M3/GCP |
| For each interval | App Code |
|     For each included sparse sample
        Build interpolation matrix: Bi
        For each dependent included dense sample in turn
            Apply interpolation matrix: A | M3/GCP |
|     For each detector | App Code |
|         For each dense sample in the interval
            Apply translation matrix: A | M3/GCP |

## Cost/Benefit Analysis

- Cost :
- constraints on application codes
- particular order of loops
- more complex M3/GCP call sequence				(but it may be possible to hide some of this)
- not (currently) standard LevelS/DPC approach.
- additional memory requirement
- persistent dense boresight pointing over an interval 	(but interval length/memory requirement is tunable)
- Benefit :
- reduction in GCP flop-count
- by a factor of O(Bi/A) ~ 100
- by a total of O(Nd x Ns x Bi) flop
- O(1012-13) Planck
- O(1015-16) CMBpol !
