- Slicer modules executed on a grid when mouse MRI are uploaded to a MIDAS server
- DTI analysis, atlas-based segmentation, brain morphormetry
Renewal
Centralized Testing
- CDash operates as a master for CTest slaves
- slaves set their availability and resources
- CDash server allocates tests to the slaves
- Ensures testing of important configurations
- More efficient use of available resources
- Test combinations can change nightly to cover complex combinations
Integrated project tracking
- SVN, CMake, CPack, CTest, CDash, Wiki, and BugTracker will be extended to report to a central server
- Generates a comprehensive timeline of a project.
- Example use cases
- Commit a code change and a report is sent to the server indicating
- files changed, by whom, on what date,
- changes to the dashboard that resulted from the commit,
- wiki page changes made by that author around that date/time,
- bug associated with that commit
- Commit a code change and a report is sent to the server indicating
iPython for distributed computing
- Python chosen as a favored scripting language for Slicer
- VTK and Qt are well supported by python
- ITK v4 will have python as a target language
- Considered perl (biologists), tcl (comp sci), BatchMake, JavaScript, ...
- iPython contains extensions to python for threaded, grid, and distributed computing
- Reduced setup and learning curve
- Broad support
