Report on 2023 CyberTraining PI Meeting, 26-27 September 2023

This document describes a two-day meeting held for the Principal Investigators (PIs) of NSF CyberTraining grants. The report covers invited talks, panels, and six breakout sessions. The meeting involved over 80 PIs and NSF program managers (PMs). The lessons recorded in detail in the report are a wealth of information that could help current and future PIs, as well as NSF PMs, understand the future directions suggested by the PI community. The meeting was held simultaneously with that of the PIs of the NSF Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) program. This co-location led to two joint sessions: one with NSF speakers and the other on broader impact. Further, the joint poster and refreshment sessions benefited from the interactions between CSSI and CyberTraining PIs.

GooFit 2.0

The GooFit package provides physicists a simple, familiar syntax for manipulating probability density functions and performing fits, and is highly optimized for data analysis on NVIDIA GPUs and multithreaded CPU backends. GooFit was updated to version 2.0, bringing a host of new features. A completely revamped and redesigned build system makes GooFit easier to install, develop with, and run on virtually any system. Unit testing, continuous integration, and advanced logging options are improving the stability and reliability of the system. Developing new PDFs now uses standard CUDA terminology and provides a lower barrier for new users. The system now has built-in support for multiple graphics cards or nodes using MPI, and is being tested on a wide range of different systems. GooFit also has significant improvements in performance on some GPU architectures due to optimized memory access. Support for time-dependent four-body amplitude analyses has also been added.
