Present: Brian Baughman, Ursula Berthon, Joanne Bogart, Toby Burnett, James Chiang, Richard Dubois, Berrie Giebels, Navid Golpayegani, Heather Kelly, Michael Kuss, Matt Langston, Leon Rochester, Tracy Usher
DC1 schedule: (Richard) See the current version of the Project file.
(Navid) The last OnboardFilter task, making Filter-found tracks available in TDS, needs one last small bug fix; otherwise it is ready to go.
We're awaiting news from Bill on classification trees, etc. Toby doesn't believe this will all be ready by Collaboration Meeting, but points out that there is no necessity for it to be ready by then anyway.
(Leon) He and Bill are largely done with documenting the analysis n-tuple.
Some work remains in order to get the data from Simulation into form suitable for input into prototype Event Database (D1)
Make sure all necessary quantities are in the TDS, e.g. in a separate n-tuple (Johann)
Write stand-alone to create Level 1 FITS file from the n-tuple. (Navid)
(Toby) Exposure output is there; just needs to be FITSified. Probably Johann can do this.
A group including Leon, Jim Chiang, Seth, Bill and Pat will be working on the parametrization of response functions.
(Toby) He has documented experiences with DC1-like processing and its timing. The differences between runs on Linux and Windows for a Glast second's worth of data are noteworthy. In each case the same set of incoming particles were used, though events generated on the two platforms would still be expected to vary somewhat. The Linux runs took substantially longer, perhaps attributable to a couple of known differences: the Linux machine is somewhat less powerful, and the G4 libraries are compiled unoptimized on Linux, optimized on Windows. The difference in the behavior of the Onboard Filter (37 events accepted on Linux, 44 on Windows) is more troubling.
EM and EBF library: (Joanne & Heather) We're on hold until we find and fix a bug in parsing calorimeter data; should not be too long. I&T folk have produced a best-range readout file. [and, post-meeting, Eduardo says they have produced an all-range readout file as well. ed.]
Wishlist wish: (Toby) Would be nice if Tag Collector interface would support promotion of multiple packages without having to go back to start every time. (Most of us just deal with one or two packages at a time so it isn't an issue.)
Windows Release Manager: (Navid) He has everything working on his local machine. He will send it to Alex. For now the Windows Release Manager will run on a machine in Alex's office, sldnt22, but see SCS news item below.
SCS (SLAC Computing Services) news: (Richard)
SCS Security has been too busy fighting worms and viruses recently to OK our request re: cgi scripts, hence one still has to be within the SLAC firewall to use the Tag Collector. This should change soon and generally speaking we're expecting more regular attention in the future.
Next fiscal year we are promised at least two Windows servers, maintained by SCS, for our exclusive use. The Windows Release Manager will run here. The pre-built releases will then be available to users to build and run against, just as they are on SLAC Linux machines.
System tests: (Matt) He's looked over Karl's code and Julie's changes. A merged version of the code is now in CVS and tagged. Currently it's broken, in that it doesn't work in an automated fashion.
He has also redesigned the Web interface and has a prototype almost ready for show and tell.
Hot list [= Action Items] reviewed: Thanks to Toby, we remembered to take a look, even updated some items.
