Revision as of 15:18, 9 September 2016
Present:
- CMU: Curtis Meyer
- JLab: Eugene Chudakov, Mark Ito, David Lawrence
- W&M: Justin Stevens
We met to kick-off planning. What follows are a collection of ideas that should consider including in our presentation, both in talks and in a written document.
Curtis:
- by the time of review, Fall 16 run calibrations should be underway
- the various launches give numbers for CPU and disk usage
Eugene:
- should estimate number of collaborators who can use the software to do analysis
Mark:
- Launches, each type of launch has different aspects that can be emphasized, all give computing resource use data
- Monitoring
- Reconstruction
- Analysis
- REST file distribution a la Matt
- what is our official plan?
- Conversion to Git
- Work on Analysis Library since last review
- Geant4: where are we?
- Simulation runs for collaboration-wide use
- Profiling: formal program, has not been done
- Studies done on optimal number of threads to run for particular tasks
- David: real data processing provides important numbers
Justin:
- we should highlight Physics Analysis Workshop
- representation of user perspective
- agenda from Vancouver DNP session on GlueX
- add 1 or 2 of the 10 minute talks to the agenda?
???:
- work on error matrices, tracking, showers
David:
- translation table system needs development for ease-of-use
- Sean has done work recently on EventStore
- Richard has contributed improvements of the HDDM API
- includes multi-threaded I/O
Curtis:
- JLab and CMU will jointly monitor GlueX data transfers to the university
David:
- CPPSim has full geometry from HDDS, hits from many of the detectors
- can generate pictures of events
- in addition to anything that Richard may have
Mark:
- OSG
- current status vis-a-vis GlueX
Curtis:
- Nathan's Hall D Package Manager (HDPM)
- [Mark: and Mark's build scripts]
- C++ 11 features have been adopted
- "Paper Review" materials from early 2016 should be included
- resource usage spreadsheet was not update, maybe now it the time to do that
Eugene:
- comparison of CPU usage for regular vs. high-intensity data taking
- also comparison of wide data window vs narrow-window data for regular intensity data
Curtis:
- What are the "automatic" calibration processes we have developed
Eugene:
- construct a timeline-like presentation of the time required for the various steps on the way to physics results:
- calibration
- reconstruction
- analysis
- etc.
Action Items:
- Curtis will produce an outline of a written document to present to the committee
- Mark will circulate his notes from this meeting
- David will talk to Rolf about how much we should be emphasizing online data acquisition in general and high-intensity running in particular.
- We will meet again in a week. Same day and time.
