Software Continuing Maintenance & Enhancement (CM&E)

1. Scope

This project encompasses all discretionary software-only project work designed to improve the performance or operation of the GBT, which is not covered by any other project. Software CME subprojects are classified as small (less than one cycle of effort), medium (1-2 cycles) or large (2+ cycles).

2. Strategic Value

This project seeks to further develop existing telescope capabilities and/or observing modes. CME projects may be instantiated to satisfy operational support issues which are chronic or have wide impact.

3. Personnel

Cross-Departmental impacts are reviewed and assessed by the ChangeControlCommittee
Project Manager: NicoleRadziwill
Project Engineer: Software development staff as appropriate (leads)
Project Scientist: RonMaddalena, RichardPrestage, or other scientific staff as advisable (sponsors)
Project Team: GBT Single Dish IPT

4. Work Packages

See outline of small, medium and large issues at ChangeControlCommittee page

5. Short Term Goals (Q1-Q2 2005)

Reduce small items list by as many items as feasible within 1-2 FTE/cycle allocation
Eliminate IF Manager dependence on LEDA
Support IDL project by resolving SDFITS/CFITSIO memory leak

6. Longer Term Goals

Complete Linux Migration Project (Q3)
Upgrade to latest gcc compiler (Q3)
Complete Red Hat Enterprise Migration (Q3)

Strategic:

Eliminate backlog of maintenance & enhancement work (described at ChangeControlCommittee page)
Reduce the frequency of critical failures requiring callout and/or operational support to as near zero as feasible
Reduce MTBF/MTTRs for each of M&C's primary components (e.g. Spectrometer) - first, current values must be assessed

7. Resource Requests for Cycle 5 2005 (Feb 14 - Mar 31 2005)

Software Development Division Request

8. Accomplishments

done C8 2004 Make sure all of M&C primary systems have simulators, to reduce our wintertime telescope time needs
done C8 2003 Reduce daily builds to 0 Errors/0 Warnings
