2017.10.17 -- Software Meeting

Agenda:

Notes:

1) Kyle - New Readout Code

• Goals:
  • Make everything compatible with the new e+ trigger.
  • Make it easier to do the machine learning by having the truth info more readily available.
• It's working. The output is the same as the previous version.
  • The Logic of the code is not changed, but now there is a management driver that orchestrates the other drivers.
  • The buffering is now done in the master driver, so that the timing will be correct if there are multiple detectors in a trigger.
  • This way the timing does not depend on what the driver does, but on what the management driver does.
  • Management driver tells the detector readout driver that there is a trigger, and those drivers will now send out the data.
• It seems to be working correctly.
  • It needs a filter for beam background, to decide what to keep in the output.
• SVT Readout is not ported in, yet. The SVT readout needs to be updated as well so that the trigger works properly with the SVT.
• Discussion on the beam structure....
• Jeremy: What tests are available/added to make sure this is working. 
  • Is there some mechanism to check the output of one SLCIO file against another one? Then Kyle can write comparisons.
• SVT Readout code:
  • Matt Solt: The readout code for the SVT has not been changed.
  • Jeremy: There are some changes for the "dead silicon readout", perhaps that branch should be merged?
  • Omar: Someone from the SVT group should be involved in this. Should know how the code works, and should know that any changes are OK. 
    • Omar volunteers Matt Solt.
• Kyle will present some details on this at the collaboration meeting.
