2015-03-10-MEMO C+SW¶

Schedule & Milestones¶

• C&M reports separately

Progress against milestones¶

• Automated data-movement
  • Was tested during MDR2
    • Chain: DAQ -> Interim Storage -> Tape Storage -> Tier-1 reconstruction -> Reconstructed output available via IC http
    • Worked
    • Some issues remaining with the RunControl triggering of the DAQ->Interim Storage section
      • Bugs & error-trapping in the script have been fixed
      • PF will be testing with RunControl -- only need to be able to start/stop DAQ from RC to test

MAUS Processing time issues¶

• Discussions with AD, CR, YK
  • Have a likely implementation using C++11
  • Entails some external compiler dependencies and cleanup of MAUS
  • Under review & discussion on issue tracker

Other¶

• Offline:
  • DAQ unpacking currently failing to link against new DATE libraries on SL5.
    • an upgrade to SL6 is expected to solve the problem
    • SL6 implementation during MDR2 worked
    • Need to validate unpacker with meaningful data
  • EMR produces additional recon events in the data structure - bad practice, EMR group will be requested to address this
    • has been addressed, under test before going to MAUS
  • Work ongoing by Chris Hunt, Adam and Ken to bring tracker reconstruction up to scratch.
  • Tracker DAQ unpacking / digitisation remains broken, though sensible VLSB data is now seen, extremely slow however. Concerned that this is somewhat orphaned at present.
    • Stands

• Online + Infrastructure
  • miceonrec03 being upgraded to SL6
    • MAUS-trunk and OnlineMonitoring on SL6 successfully deployed during MDR2
    • Need at least one other SL6 onrec computer availabe as backup for weekend running
      • Will upgrade onrec01/onrec02 (PF)
  • need a working MAUS test server node with SL6
    • heplnv157 is down: to be resolved
    • upgrade heplnm071 to SL6 (PPD to be requested)
