SPELL

  • Raymond and Wen worked on putting on Amazon cloud
  • SPELL running on Amazon cloud
  • What next?
  • Need to be careful about running a cloud instance
  • Elastic IP? No, not yet
  • What are the requirements for SPELL? Free instance is currently sufficient
  • Need more memory for the start-up process
  • Haven't yet figured out a way to do stress tests
  • SPELL does not have many users (~500 queries per month)
  • Free tier available for only 6 months and then gone
  • Need to determine what the build requirements are (needed for every build/release)
  • Only want one copy of it (so we aren't paying twice)
  • Single canonical AMI
  • First step, firgure out build requirements (need more memory during build?) and runtime requirements
  • Free instance 2GB memory (upgraded) for build, 600MB memory OK for runtime
  • What will it take to maintain one of these instances for a year?
  • Double up SPELL queries with the main WormBase instance on the cloud to consolidate?
  • How to more fully incorporate SPELL into WormBase?
  • Integrate SPELL into the new WormBase App? (branding, tracking access)
  • Running under Apache; Ruby-on-Rails
  • Could maintain cloud instance for now and see how it will function (and what it will cost) over the year
  • Better if elastic IP assigned (25 cents/day? Or free once attached to an instance?)
  • Can it run in a micro-instance? Yes
  • $175/year for cpu plus disk space and transfer
  • Switch credit cards (from Raymond's to Caltech)
  • Follow logs to assess likely costs later on

NAR Paper

  • Ranjana having Editing trouble
  • Karen will format tomorrow for the bibliography and so will be off Google Docs
  • Paper due at end of October
  • There is discussion of submitting other papers to other journals; Worm?
  • Want consistent presence in Worm? Ad space?
  • Journals: NAR, BMC (Bioinformatics etc.), Worm, Database
  • What content would be appropriate for each journal? Who is the target audience?
  • Ongoing short editorial (or something) in each issue of Worm? "Hints from WormBase"?


Caltech Internet/Network issues yesterday


Aldrin Montana

  • Difficulty installing AMIGO on computers
  • Busy with it until had to go back to school


RNAi Curation Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

  • Written on WormBase Wiki under Caltech Documentation > RNAi


SVM transition

  • From Ruihua to Yuling
  • Ruihua will meet with Yuling next week to discuss
  • There likely will be issues during the transition
  • Should alert Hinxton/EBI and Wash U
