P118 Reprocessing

status: In preparation Complete
last update: 15 Feb 25 May 2011

This page is a record of the configuration for the P1xx P118 reprocessing project, recalculating diffuse response with new P6_V11 IRFs and adding to existing FT1 files. This processing will be applied to all science data, be incorporated into Level 1 processing, and results sent to the FSSC.

• P1xxP118-FT1 - this task will read existing FT1 (photons) files and emit new FT1 files

Datafile names, versions and locations

Data file version numbers for this reprocessing will begin with v116v118.

XROOT location and file naming

Location template:

File naming:

Note: 'procVer' is a field added to the file name (and the keyword "PROC_VER" in the primary header) added to the FFD (.doc, or PDF) on 5/12/2010. Ref: http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/dev/current_documents/Science_DP_ICD_RevA.pdf^{Image Removed}

Data Sample

The data sample for P116 P118 reprocessing includes the following runsthe current definition of the "Public_v2" dataset.

Final number of selected photon events (in the FT1 and LS1 files) = 435,801,176These data are destined for the FSSC and were made public as of 17 November 2010TBD

These data (along with subsequent Level 1 data) are will be in the SLAC Astroserver as P6_public_v2.
Three extra runs were unintentionally processed as part of P116:

The first of these was deemed good for science, while the last two were not. Therefore, runs 250687192 and 250692922 have been retroactively removed from the datacatlog, astroserver and FSSCv3.

Processing chain for FITS data products

Note on 'Code Variant': The SLAC batch farm contains a mixture of architectures , both hardware (Intel/AMD 64-bit) and software (RedHat Enterprise Linux 4, and 5, gcc 3.4, 4.1, etc.). Currently, all batch machines have 64-bit hardware and (most, if not all) run with the 64-bit operating systems.

Note on diffuse response calculation: gtdiffrsp is called two times in succession. For the bulk of this processing, the incorrect parameter was used for gtdiffrsp (IRF P6_V3_DIFFUSE and evclass==3, and IRF P6_V3_dataclean and evclass==4). After block2 this was corrected to IRF P6_V3_DIFFUSE and evclsmin==3, and IRF P6_V3_DATACLEAN and evclsmin==4. The resulting FT1 files have five columns for diffuse response of which two pairs are filled in for DATACLEAN, one pair for DIFFUSE and zero for all other events. Each pair contains galactic and extragalactic response.

Timing

The execution of gtdiffrsp happens in the mergeClumps step and takes ~5 hequ-minutes per run (on average) to complete. Some individual runs (few percent) take considerably longer...up to 2 hours.
(update 5/25/2011) Statistics for mergeClump now show mean time of 14.4 CPU minutes (averaged across all CPU types, but mostly hequ and boer)
