April priorities:
(Richard) See them all
in Confluence. Hitting some of the highlights —
- OBF filter bits (Heather) Has made updates to
lsfData and ldfReader
so that they will build with the new version of
CHS/eventFile.
EventHandler classes are next.
- OBF config on the fly (Tracy) See
last week's report. There
is one last hurdle defining the FilterStatus TDS class properly; just
about everything else is in place
- ebfWriter problems (Anders) This is verified as fixed in
GR v13r11p7. See
JIRA ACD-19.
- GR for launch L1 processing (Heather)
HEAD currently has several upgraded packages. If there are others that
should go in before she makes GR v14r3, please let her know ASAP. (Richard)
All upgrades in support of Pass 6 should go in; Pass 7 support will not
go in the L1 version.
- Stress testing L1 (Richard) It's ongoing.
(Warren) Performance is much improved. We've been able to maintain
throughput at just about twice the nominal data rate. We can sign off on
performance requirements. [Way to go! ed.]
- Pass 6 reprocessing (Heather) The reason for the problem
with TChains has been found and fixed. In the reprocessing environment
there was no place for certain branch variables to be kept. She has
now found a spot for them in RootTupleSvc and all is well! This fix
is incorporated in v13r9p on the Big Run branch.
- GRB grid (Richard) No recent progress on problems.
(Jim) Sent email to concerned parties delineating
symptoms; no response yet.
Science Tools report:
Seth went through the
Science Tools Update for April 22nd.
Data handling:
(Dan) Stress testing has been the main thing; see above. Had a discussion
on Friday about a Run Catalog.
Documentation: Chuck is
mute today so no report, but you can see for yourself how
How-to-fix
is coming along.
Core talk:
(Heather)
CVS problem checking out
(Navid) It's because the history file has gotten huge, something he can
readily fix.
Skimmer (David C.)
- The build of the Skimmer against ROOT 5.18b is done.
- The famous release of the Skimmer supporting input CELs is not
yet ready, but he's hoping it will be this week. In the meantime,
see the User's Guide in Confluence.
New RM, SCons (Navid) After a last bug fix about an hour before
this meeting, he believes the new RM is now working on Windows as well
as Linux and that we have automated builds on both platforms. A new
ScienceTools is being built as we speak. Next on the agenda: new
tag collector. (Heather) is delighted.
Announcements:
- Launch, Core meeting delay (Richard) Delivery date
for the rocket has been pushed to May 15, hence earliest launch
date is now May 31. The original Core meeting date of June 9 or
so is too close to this, so it will be postponed. Stay tuned.
- OpsSim3 (Anders) Given the launch delay, among other
things, it has been pushed back a week.
- Ground system test (Anders) Data from it will be coming in
tomorrow
- Power outage (Richard)
Power
will be down at SCS all weekend as they
upgrade power distribution to support equipment we need before launch.
AOB:
- Would be nice to do some profiling of performance.
- Have to start thinking about supporting newer compilers.
