Since most members of the accel group were on vacation the past week and I do not see much progress in TMS, let's cancel this week's meeting.

As a reminder, if you are thinking of pursuing accelerator-related work for your thesis, by next week's meeting you need to:

1. Read two papers from the past two years relating to accelerator work in HPC

2. Work a minimum of additional 5 hours on your current accel projects and log your hours in TMS

I strongly recommend putting in more effort week-to-week on your thesis topic (the 5 hours per week is a minimum). Your thesis work will probably require at least 1500 - 2000 hours of work, and you do not want to be cramming most of that into your last year. Also, from personal experience, the longer you work on a topic, the more interesting and impactful the research will become. This means that you may need a good couple years of solid work until you start seeing the fruits of your labors. You do not want to be in a position where you run out of time to claim the rewards for your work.

In that case let's cancel this week's meeting. For next week, those who are thinking of pursuing accelerator-related work for their thesis need to:

1. Read two papers from the past two years relating to accelerator work in HPC (Send me your choices in the next two days)

2. Work an additional 5 hours on your current accel projects and log your hours in TMS.

I was planning on joining via Skype as well with little to report. I just spoke with Eric and he is in a similar situation. Perhaps we should cancel the meeting?

I'll be joining over Skype today.  I have little to report that was not already reported at last week's group meeting.
