P120 Reprocessing
status: In Progress
last update: 28 July 2010
This page is a record of the configuration for the P120 reprocessing project, event reclassification using Pass 7.3. This project involves reprocessing with Pass7 classification trees and (ultimately) new IRFs. The name "P120" derives from the word "processing" and the initial file version to be used for the output data products, e.g., r0123456789_v120_merit.root.
- P120-MERIT - this task reads DIGI+RECON+MERIT and produces reprocessed MERIT + FILTEREDMERIT (photons) + ELECTRONMERIT
- P120-FITS - this task will (eventually) read FILTEREDMERIT and produce FT1 (photons) + LS1 (merit-like FITS file for photons) + electron FITS file + LS3 (live-time cube)
Datafile names, versions and locations
Data file version numbers for this reprocessing will begin with v110.

where 'pYYY' is the new PROC_VER (processing version) in the FITS files.
DataCatalog location and naming
Logical directory and group template:
Data/Flight/Reprocess/<reprocessName>:<dataType>
Note that the <dataType> field (following the colon) is a DataCatalog 'group' name, and file names are of the form r<run#>.

Timing and Scaling
- (block 1 results) The processClump step is taking ~40 hequ-minutes (or ~65 fell-minutes). With >500 simultaneous jobs running, there is little noticeable strain on xroot. There are five servers in the yellow-orange load range and they are claiming ~110-130 MB/s I/O rate.
- The mergeClumps step is taking ~5 hequ-minutes
- It was observed that submitting 70 runs at once put a strain on /u30, home of GlastRelease. Some 93 of ~540 jobs failed with I/O error, but succeeded upon rollback.
Load balancing
Introduce new trickleStreams.py script to (partially) assess pipeline activity and only the number of jobs considered appropriate based on available data.
maxProcessClumps = 600 ## prevent overload of xroot maxMergeClumps = 20 ## prevent overload of xroot (inactive) maxStreamsPerCycle = 20 ## prevent overload of /u30 on startup timePerCycle = 900 ## 15 minutes: allow time for dust to settle
With these parameters, it took ~ 5 hours to reach a point where fewer than 20 jobs per cycle were regularly submitted. Another 4.5 hours for the task to complete. On average, one run generated 7.5 processClump batch jobs.

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.).
Note on diffuse response calculation: (OBSOLETE)gtdiffrsp is called three times in succession. The first time with IRF P7_v2_diff and evclsmin==8, followed by IRF P7_v2_extrad and evclsmin==9, and finally IRF P7_v2_datac and evclsmin==10. The resulting FT1 file has six columns of diffuse response, two columns (galactic and extragalactic response) for each of the three IRFs. This creates a non-standard FT1 file by FSSC standards as they expect only five diffuse response columns.(OBSOLETE)
