The following questions regarding Star-Exec are being asked by Aaron Stump and Cesare Tinelli, to all Summer 2014 competition organizers. I (J.W.) will answer, by August 5, and I'd like to collect your comments here. Just enter below the question, but keep the question intact. (I am dropping some administrative questions, but keep the original numbering.)
Contents
- 1 4. What were the advantages and disadvantages of using StarExec for you as competition organizer, in comparison with whatever alternative you would have utilized instead of StarExec?
- 2 5. What were the most positive aspects of your experience running your competition on StarExec?
- 3 6. What were the negative aspects?
- 4 10. Where do you think we should focus our development efforts going forward?
- 5 11. Do you expect you or your colleagues will likely want to run the next edition of your competition on StarExec?
- 6 12. How adequate was the help you were able to get either directly from the StarExec team or from the forum?
- 7 13. How satisfied do you perceive the participants in your competition were with their experience using StarExec?
- 8 14. Were there any recurring issues or complaints from the participants in your competition?
- 9 15. Any further comments or suggestions?
4. What were the advantages and disadvantages of using StarExec for you as competition organizer, in comparison with whatever alternative you would have utilized instead of StarExec?
5. What were the most positive aspects of your experience running your competition on StarExec?
6. What were the negative aspects?
10. Where do you think we should focus our development efforts going forward?
A few of the things we are considering are: additional interfaces for viewing job results (maybe similar to the 2-dimensional grid used in Termination; other suggestions?), solver pipelines (output from one stage becomes benchmark for input to the next stage; other details to be determined), more work to make it possible to install and run StarExec on your own server or computer (abstract out security-critical details, installation documention, and abstract the interface to GridEngine so you can use a different third-party tool to run jobs on a cluster, or even just your own desktop), commitment to and documentation of the URLs used for communicating directly with the server.
