Agenda¶

• Release status
  • Current release = 0.9.0
    • API changes propagated to inputers and mappers
    • Memory leak fix #1489
    • KL tuning and calibration
    • Geometry - diffuser irises, bug fix
    • SciFi - bug fixes, improvements, tests
    • Global PID - added Ckov, KL to framework
    • build system fixes
    • JsonCpp version change
  • Targets for next release:
    • EMR -- digitization, reconstruction
    • DAQ maps to DB #1375 (needs #994)
    • KL calibrations to DB

• Schedule(All): 300714_Software_and_Computing.ods

• Detectors
  • Detector integration (Durga Rajaram)
  • Tracker (Adam Dobbs)
    • Space-point, track-finding efficiency studies partly blocked by lack of trigger #1182
    • ACTION: flag low pt for downstream reconstruction
    • ACTION: ADC smearing, Cosmic data -- need input from David Adey
  • TOF (Durga Rajaram)
    • calibration by-run getter having CDB issues #1519
      • done, push to trunk
  • EMR (Yordan Karadzhov/Francois Drielsma)
    • MC #1033
    • ACTION: Francois to push his code to lp
    • does the "extra events" from EMR affect MC trigger formation?
  • KL (Mariyan Bogomilov)
    • STANDING: MC validation, optimization, tuning, #1411
  • RealData (Yordan Karadzhov)
    • ACTION: replace default run shipped with MAUS from 02873 -> a more recent run
    • DAQ channel maps to DB (Rajaram) #1375, blocked by #994
  • Ckov (Drews/Winter/Rajaram)
    • Finalize geometry
    • ACTION: DR get Lucien's geometry into MAUS
      • does the MiceModules code need change? Material definitions?
  • Global Recon (Jan Greis/Celeste Pidcott)
  • Tracking (Greis)
  • PID (Pidcott)
  • Monte Carlo trigger (Ryan Bayes) #1182
    • ACTION: DR to look over fix build issues
    • restructure TOF digi?
• Infrastructure
  • Geometry/MC (Stefania Ricciardi/Ryan Bayes)
    • Ckov geometry update (Cremaldi)
    • need positions of survey nests from detector groups
    • Speed improvements (Bayes)
      • see 21 July Geometry meeting
  • MC Beam
    • Standing: There is a request to have G4BL decks in the CDB. JN will handle the interface code
    • ACTION: MapPyBeamMaker gets appropriate currents for requested run -- get this code into the trunk
  • GRID and Batch Production (Chris Rogers/Janusz Martyniak)
    • #1489 grid processing on hold because of memory leak
    • Looks like CR's recent fix has fixed most of the leaks
      • some complaints from valgrind about OutputCpp
    • Memory usage ~2.5 GB attachment:run_04000_resource_usage.png attachment:run_05679_resource_usage.png
    • Try grid running again?
  • Code deployment (All)
  • Documentation
  • Data Structure
• Online
  • Online data quality (Chris Rogers)
    • Have prototype GUI and prototype ROOT-based document DB to replace maus-web-app and django #1312
  • Software On Call (Durga Rajaram)
    • http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/maus/wiki/Software_on-call (SOC wiki)

• AOB
• Date of next meeting August 13 2014

Attendance¶

Jan Greis

John Nugent
Celeste Pidcott

KL¶

• JN: optimization looks about as good as we can do, should have validation plots out soon

Ckov¶

EMR¶

• need to ping FD about getting the digitizer and reconstruction codes in

Tracker¶

• CH: progress with ADC smearing, MC noise algorithm will likely be revamped based on cosmics

TOF¶

Global¶

• CP to look into whether detector inputs (space points, errors) are reasonable and acceptable for global

MC¶

Geometry¶

G4BL¶

Build system¶

Infrastructure¶
