F: It uses " export " underlyingly .
F: But , if you F: i It 's meant to be run one job at a time ?
F: So you could fire off a thousand of those ,
F: and it doesn't know any one of those doesn't know about the other ones that are running .
C: So why would one use that rather than P - make ?
F: Well , if you have ,
F: um F: Like , for example , uh if you didn't wanna write a P - make script
F: and you just had a , uh an HTK training job that you know is gonna take uh , six hours to run ,
F: and somebody 's using , uh , the machine you typically use ,
F: you can say " run command " and your HTK thing
F: and it 'll find another machine ,
F: the fastest currently available machine
F: and and run your job there .
C: Now , does it have the same sort of behavior as P - make ,
C: which is that , you know , if you run something on somebody 's machine and they come in and hit a key then it F: Yes .
F: Yeah ,
F: there are um F: Right .
F: So some of the machines at the institute , um , have this attribute called " no evict " .
F: And if you specify that , in in one of your attribute lines , then it 'll go to a machine which your job won't be evicted from .
C: Mm - hmm .
F: But , the machines that don't have that attribute , if a job gets fired up on that , which could be somebody 's desktop machine , and and they were at lunch ,
C: Mm - hmm .
F: they come back from lunch and they start typing on the console , then your machine will get evicted your job <comment> will get evicted from their machine and be restarted on another machine . Automatically .
F: So which can cause you to lose time ,
F: right ?
F: If you had a two hour job , and it got halfway through
F: and then somebody came back to their machine and it got evicted .
F: So . If you don't want your job to run on a machine where it could be evicted , then you give it the minus the attribute , you know , " no evict " ,
F: and it 'll pick a machine that it can't be evicted from .
F: So .
C: Um , what what about C: I remember always used to be an issue , maybe it 's not anymore , that if you if something required if your machine required somebody hitting a key in order to evict things that are on it so you could work ,
F: Mm - hmm .
C: but if you were logged into it from home ?
C: and you weren't hitting any keys ? cuz you were , home ?
F: Yeah ,
F: I I 'm not sure how that works .
F: Uh , it seems like Andreas did something for that .
C: Yeah .
C: Hmm .
F: Um .
C: OK .
C: We can ask him sometime .
F: But F: Yeah .
F: I don't know whether it monitors the keyboard or actually looks at the console TTY ,
F: so maybe if you echoed something to the you know , dev dev console or something .
C: You probably wouldn't ordinarily , though .
C: Yeah . Right ?
F: Hmm ?
C: You probably wouldn't ordinarily .
C: I mean you sort of C: you 're at home and you 're trying to log in ,
C: and it takes forever to even log you in ,
F: Yeah , yeah .
C: and you probably go , " screw this " ,
C: and  You know .
F: Yeah .
F: Yeah ,
F: so , um ,
C: Yeah .
F: yeah .
F: I I can I 'm not sure about that one .
C: yeah .
F: But uh .
C: OK .
A: Uh , I need a little orientation about this environment and uh scr s how to run some jobs here
A: because I never d did anything so far with this X emissions
F: OK .
A: So ,
A: I think maybe I 'll ask you after the meeting .
F: Um .
F: Yeah .
F: Yeah , and and also uh , Stephane 's a a really good resource for that if you can't find me .
A: Yeah , yeah , yeah .
A: Yep .
A: OK ,
A: sure
D: Mmm .
F: Especially with regard to the Aurora stuff .
A: OK .
F: He he knows that stuff better than I do .
C: OK .
C: Well , why don't we uh ,
C: uh ,
C: Sunil since you 're haven't haven't been at one of these yet , why don't yo you tell us what 's what 's up with you ?
C: Wh - what you 've been up to , hopefully .
A: Um .
A: Yeah .
A: So ,
A: uh , shall I start from A: Well I don't know how may I how A: OK .
A: Uh , I think I 'll start from the post uh Aurora submission maybe .
C: Yeah .
A: Uh , yeah ,
A: after the submission the what I 've been working on mainly was to take take other s submissions
A: and then
A: over their system , what they submitted ,
A: because we didn't have any speech enhancement system in in ours .
A: So A: So I tried
A: uh ,
A: And u First I tried just LDA .
A: And then I found that
A: uh ,
A: I mean , if if I combine it with LDA , it gives @ @ improvement over theirs .
