P116 Reprocessing

status: Under Construction In Progress

This page is a record of the configuration for the P116 reprocessing project, rebuilding FT1 files (and friends) for all of science data with new, extended event classifications.

Note on diffuse response calculation: gtdiffrsp is called two times in succession. The first time with IRF P7P6_V2V3_DIFFUSE and evclass==3, followed by IRF P7P6_32V3_dataclean and evclass==4. The resulting FT1 file has four columns of diffuse response, two columns (galactic and extragalactic response) for each of the two IRFs.

• The most time-consuming step in P116-FT1 is the 'mergeClump' step wherein the diffuse response is calculated (twice). The CPU time required for this step, after ~2300 jobs have completed appears in the following plot:
  
  Thus, depending on the run (bimodal distribution) and the speed of the batch machine (bimodal distribution for fell vs hequ), the jobs are finishing up after anywhere from 2 hours to 11 hours, with the most probable being about 5 hours.
