7.1 Hardware Infrastructure
continued racking HW received in the 2023 by as it arrives from the warehouse. this includes applying asset tags for future tracking.
7.2 Software Infrastructure
7.2.1 Data Center
Updated Processing workers with expanded memory to allow the Cryo-NIRSP pipeline to run to completion. Previous memory allocations were insufficient and caused the peipeline to error out due to running out of memory
started working with the HLS group to design a data packaging method that would be used to transport Wavefront correction data to the DC and to the VBI processing team for use with the VBI and VTF data pipelines. Once the packaging and transport method are agreed to, the the ICD between the HLS and DC will be updated to reflect the additional data to be transmitted/received.
continued working on creating data reprocessing policies and processes. Policies decided upon so far include the number of past (superseded) data sets to be kept, how the reprocessed datasets should be linked to previous versions, and how changes should be publicized. Currently the process is in the design phase, meaning scoping out the software changes required to implement the policies.

Update the public caveats page to include issues found in the ASDF files
7.3 Science Data Processing
7.3.1 Calibration Pipelines
Completed the Beta version of the CryoNIRSP pipeline and began processing data for the science team to assess. The pipeline will be updated as comments and suggestions are posted by the science team.
7.3.1 Data Released
There were a total of XX data sets released to their PIs and a total of YY data sets released to the public this month.
