| 20 | +------------ |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +1) Confirm quorum |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Quorum is present. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +2) Secretary |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Secretary is Jeff Lait. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +3) TAC Update |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Proposed NanoBind and asked for GPUs on CI runners |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Apparently we already have a service for GPUs, which is paid for, but |
| 35 | +the ASWF seems fine with that. Apparently used by ColorIO, so we can |
| 36 | +ask them for advice. We might want to avoid using GPU machines for |
| 37 | +the build? But that would require build artifacts. There is some |
| 38 | +experience at NVidia splitting the GPU and CPU CI tests. Ken will get |
| 39 | +instructions on how to run on at all, that we'll test with fVDB first. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +There is a CI slack channel we can go to for more aid as well. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +NanoBind was presented to the TAC as well. Positive feedback. They |
| 44 | +seem okay with us using it moving forward. It is also suggested other |
| 45 | +projects will move to Nanobind. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Nanobind does not provide an interpreter, but can be called from a |
| 48 | +host's own interpreter. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +4) PR 1807 & CI Updates |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Mac runner has to update to latest version. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Cuda compiler is failing with 11.5. This is Oct 2021, so we should |
| 55 | +drop support? Matthew Cong will take a look at it. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Missing Changelist, which Andre will provide. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +5) fVDB updates |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Who should review this? Do we avoid NVidia-centered review? So long |
| 62 | +as it is supported and git hub issues are supported not much concern. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +The TSC members are needed to sign off, but do not have to be the |
| 65 | +"actual" reviewers. These can be reviewed by non-TSC members, and TSC |
| 66 | +members can approve the reviews. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Initial version should be 0.X as API can change. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +6) Next meeting |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +Next meeting is on May 28th, 2024. 2pm-3pm EDT (GMT-4) |
