  1. Report on Successful Data Challenges
    • DC1 - December 2012/ January 2013
      • 5 billion Events - OSG, JLab, CMU
      • 1200 Concurrent Jobs at JLab.
    • DC2 - March/April 2014
      • 10 billion events with EM backgrounds included - OSG, JLab, MIT, CMU, FSU
      • 4500 Concurrent Jobs at JLab
      • Well under 0.1% failure rate
    • DC3 - January/February 2015
      • Read data in raw-event format from tape and produce to DST (REST) files.
      • Load up as many JLab cores as possible.
      • Run Multi-threaded jobs
      • Already doing full reprocessing of the Fall 2014 data from tape every two weeks.
  2. Data Acquisition Successes - Running Fall 2014 (stealth data challenge).
    • Exceeded the 300MB/s transfer to tape bandwidth of experiment.
      • ~500 million events.
      • 7000 files, 120TB of data
    • Most data were taken in full pulse mode of the Flash ADCs
      • Need to get final processing algorithms on the FPGAs in the FADCs
      • Need to clean raw data of massive unused headers.
    • Event Rates of 2KHz for full experiment, much higher for individual components.
      • Need to move to block mode.
      • Need to move to FPGA processing to compress data.
    • Full DAQ chain to local raid disk, transfer to tape, and automatic processing from tape.
    • Robustness issues with the system
      • Handle corrupted evio data
      • Problems with some FADCs getting out of sync.
    • Stealth Online Data Challenge
  3. Revisit data and computing spreadsheets
    • Update based on current software performance.
    • Update with best estimates of raw data footprint.
  4. offline monitoring
    • browser
    • analyze data as it appears on the silo
    • reconstruction results
  5. calibration committee
    • bi-weekly meeting
    • preliminary list of constants compiled
    • calibration still needs to be regularized
    • calibration database training
  6. CCDB successes
    • command line interface
    • SQLite form of database
  7. analysis results
    • electron identification in the FCAL.
    • pi0 peak
    • proton id with tof
    • proton id with dE/dx
    • rho meson in pi+ pi-
    • omega meson in pi+ pi- pi0
  8. data transfer to CMU via globus Online
  9. data management: event store, etc.
