P107 Reprocessing

status: Complete
last update: 5 November 2010

This reprocessing will create GCR (Galactic Cosmic Ray) root files which were inadvertantly not produced from a period of Nov 2009 through July 2010.

Datafile names, versions and locations

Data file version numbers for this reprocessing will begin with v116.

XROOT location and file naming

Location template:

/glast/Data/Flight/Reprocess/<reprocessName>/<dataType>

DataCatalog location and naming

Logical directory and group template:

Data/Flight/Reprocess/<reprocessName>:<dataType>

Note that the <dataType> field (following the colon) is a DataCatalog 'group' name, and file names are of the form r<run#>.

Naming example:

/Data/Flight/Reprocess/P107:GCR r0239557414

Processing log

  • 11/5/2010 - Production complete
  • 11/2/2010 - Validation passed, restart production.
  • 11/1/2010 - process additional 79 test/validation runs (bring total # runs to 100). Use trickleStream, limiting number of simultaneous processClump jobs to 500. This put a significant strain on wain038, essentially 100% CPU utilization for ~1 hour, and ~350 MB/s I/O. Also affected were wains 037 and 039, but not to quite the same extent.
  • 10/27/2010 - commission new form of task in which GCR files produced in clumps and then merged (by tskim); process first 21 test/validation runs.
  • 10/20/2010 - discover two facts: first 20 test runs were limited to 100k events, and Gleam has huge memory leak and crashes after about 400k-600k events have been reprocessed. Report to Heather, et al.
  • 10/19/2010 - Configure task and create first 20 test/validation runs. Successful.
  • No labels
