You need to first register Register as a SLAC user and obtain a SLAC computing account. The initial account setup related
Account info can be found on the Tier2 page, along with other info on local computing at SLAC.

Among the various public machines at SLAC, for ATLAS work you should ssh to either:
rhel4-32.slac.stanford.edu (a cluster of a few nodes good for ATLAS work)
_atlint01.slac.stanford.edu _(an ATLAS machine)

If you have any questions please post them to the Non-Grid Jobs at SLAC Forum in the ATLAS Hypernews system, where all local SLAC ATLAS computing issues are discussed. (If you don't have an ATLAS account, please mail me.)

...

And you may want to have an area with >500MB of storage space (the /afs home limit).
If you're in group "atlas" and/or "atlas-user" (check with "groups")...

Code Block

mkdir /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/atlas/work/<firstLetterOfUsername>/<username>
ln -s /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/atlas/work/<firstLetterOfUsername>/<username> nfs

Otherwise you have to use /scratch areas on the machines...

Code Block

mkdir /scratch/<username>
ln -s /scratch/<username> scratch

Everytime #Everytime you log in and want to use an ATLAS release (15.2.0.1, for example):

Code Block

bash

...


mkdir ~/reldirs/15.2.0 #if it doesn't already exist (where 15.2.0 is the first 3 numbers of the release)

...


cd reldirs/15.2.0

...


. ~/cmthome/setup.sh -tag=15.2.0.1

#Now Now you can run athena, for example:

Code Block

get_files -jo HelloWorldOptions.py

...


athena.py HelloWorldOptions.py

...

 > ~/scratch/

#Analysis skeleton for AOD analysis:
cmt co -r UserAnalysis-00-13-17 PhysicsAnalysis/AnalysisCommon/UserAnalysis

...


#If no ATLAS access: cp -r ~ahaas/reldirs/15.3.1/PhysicsAnalysis .

...



cd PhysicsAnalysis/AnalysisCommon/UserAnalysis/cmt; make; cd -

You should be able to run anything from the CERN workbook.
