Will send you my notes and solicit confirmation / further comment by Larry & Joe. These notes are of several types: a = Annotation - Explanatory stuff w = Wondering - When not sure what you had in mind i = Input - For your consideration This by beginning with the CSIL Service Areas, page 1: a - Ocean SGI - Think this is Jim O'Brien's system, climate1, used by folks in COAPS - Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies w - CSIL Portal - Web based ? Globus stuff ? What skills needed by the staff person? a - Terascale Access for CSIL users - Wireless Domain Both 802.11b and Blue Tooth technologies continuing with CSIL Service Areas, page 2: w - Education Technology and Support - Meaning not clear for "ODDL does outside / CSIT Core" w - What does Access Grid refer to? Is it part of the Globus stuff ? Is it the multiple video tele-conferencing system as at ANL ? w - CSIT Web presence and Information - Would adding "TeX" to the last line of Software/maintenance column be a good thing? continuing with CSIL Budget 2000, page 1: Category Equipment: i - dirac replacement by a pair of Intel platforms ~= 8,000 i - Network Monitor project ~= 12,000 wi - Production Visualization, not sure what to get ~= 25,000 i - Wireless Domain, both 802.11b & BlueTooth startup ~= 25,000 w - Access Grid - High & Low End - Not sure what you mean a - Research Visualization Configuration - should include UPS capacity in the $250,000 Category Infrastructure CSIT UPS - not sure what you wanted here - Parts for a system with ~4 times the current capacity is about ~31K, *BEFORE* discount, if any. Shipping installation and rewiring to use it would be more. SWAG at total ~= 50,000 w - Sliger Generator-OTI - Is this enough for phase II ? How big a generator is it? w - Sliger UPS-OTI - Is this enough for phase II ? How much capacity does it have - KVA/ KW ? How long would it last ? Category Staffing i - Strudents(8) - 8x20 hrs/wk x 50 wks x $15/hr =120,000 Category Expense: w - Origin 2000 maintenance - When does it make sense to shutdown climate1 ? i - H/W maintenance = 75,000 (including printer replacement, Liebert refurb) w - Office equipment maintenance - What did you plan to include here ? wi - Need to have a budget for expendables? ~= 10,000 ? paper / toner / cable / connectors / ...
