- This option only applies to people who have an account with Pawsey and are in one of the existing MWA groups (mwasci, mwaeor, mwavcs, mwaops)
- Those groups are still responsible for managing their own quota on /astro. If you choose the /astro option and your group doesn’t have enough space, the job will fail. So make sure that you have sufficient quota on /astro before submitting the job.
- To use this option, your ASVO account will need to be configured with your Pawsey group. This needs to be done by an admin, so you’ll need to let me know which group you would like to be attached to this account.
- It might be an idea for each group PI to compile a list of users that should have access to this feature.
Regarding A few notes about the new Birli preprocessing software:
- Birli is not quite at feature parity with Cotter, so you may be a little limited in terms of your options for processing MWAX data.
- While Birli does support writing CASA Measurement Sets, this functionality is still experimental and slow. It is therefore disabled in ASVO for now, but you can still download the raw files and run Birli yourself if needed. We're hoping to have this fully supported with ASVO within the next few weeks.
- There are a number of other features that are still in development. I suggest that you take a look at the repository here to familiarise yourself with the feature set and interface for using Birli https://github.com/mwatelescope/birli
- Otherwise, Birli is an incredible effort by Derwent and is a stable and performant preprocessor for MWAX and legacy correlator data.
