Agenda:

  1. 2021 Remote monitoring tools - Jeremy 

  2. Application of the DAQ configuration management system in readout - Tongtong

  3. Improving SVT hit processing - Norman

  4. AOB/Questions

Notes:

Remote monitoring: Jeremy gave a demonstration of the plot aggregator which allows plots from multiple reconstruction instances to be accumulated. This seemed to be very responsive and should be scalable. He also demonstrated that JAS3 can be used as the client to show the histograms. Details remain to be worked out, but this was a nice proof-of-principle.

DAQ configuration management system in readout: Tongtong presented his thoughts on how to bring the MC readout into closer agreement with the online DAQ configuration. This would require some major changes to how things are being done currently but it was felt that it would make the generation of MC samples corresponding to the different run conditions encountered during the 2019 run much easier. It was agreed that the existing procedures be preserved for backwards compatibility for the 2015 and 2016 runs.

Improving SVT hit processing: This talk was deferred to next year.

AOB: Cameron presented some encouraging results in identifying "Header Noise" events. This requires knowing the time interval to previous events, so one would have to process raw evio events in the order in which they were taken (so no skimming or multi-threaded reconstruction). He will give a full talk early in the new year.

There will be no software meetings in the next two weeks. The next meeting will take place January 6, 2021.
