The core LASSO team developing LASSO-CACTI consists of William I. Gustafson Jr. (Principal Investigator), Andrew M. Vogelmann (Co-Principal Investigator), Mark M. Delgado, Satoshi Endo, Eddie K. Schuman, and Heng Xiao. Adam C. Varble (CACTI Principal Investigator) helped with case selection, nuances of observations, and general CACTI questions. The core team thanks the contributions by Tami Toto, who wrote prototype metrics post-processing software, and Karen Johnson, for support during code migration and continuity of operations. Members of the ARM Data Center who have contributed substantially to LASSO-CACTI include Wade J. Darnell, Maggie R. Davis, Kyle K. Dumas, Jeremy Gann, Michael T. Giansiracusa, Monica I. Ihli, Jitu Kuma, Robert J. Records, Pete Eby, Chirag Shah, and Will Provenza. Ryan C. Prout provided computing support for migrating to the new, second-generation Cumulus architecture. Joseph Rasmussen wrote the code for sphinx and bibtex to generate ARM-style citations. We also gratefully acknowledge the numerous members of the ARM infrastructure team for their coordination, installation, maintenance, processing, and advice given on the data products used and for LASSO product management.
