- Who will do the ECAL?
- New maintainer:
- Extend system for Hodoscope.
- Monitoring system maintainer.
- Updates and additions for next run.
- HPS-MC scripts.
- JLab production should switch to these scripts.
- Verify compatibility.
- Data Catalog
- Improvements needed?
- Folder structure.
- Additional meta data.
- Incorporate in MC scripts.
- HPS-SIM code.
- Development of SLIC replacement.
- lcsim fixes.
- Who has access?
- Who has this knowledge?
- Questions/issues? -- All
Notes:
- Jeremy will leave starting April 2:
- April 2 - May – "Vacation" - still access to accounts.
- May - Octobe – Casual employment - will still have access, and do some tasks, can still help.
- Transition Plan on Confluence.
- HPS-Java and LCSIM
- LCsim goes through the SLAC lab GitHub group. Needs a SLAC account.
- We should not need to make major modifications. If really needed, there are people at SLAC who can help.
- Software Releases.
- There is a document on this in the "deprecated" section of Confluence. Needs a cleanup.
- Make sure the tests work before making a release.
- Occasionally a (scary) "git rebase" is needed.
- Jeremy will make a new release together with Norman.
- Conditions System:
- There is administration:
- Coordinating updates of the DB.
- Managing access.
- Dealing with emergencies (i.e. revert to a backup.)
- Loading calibration data: This does not have good documentation.
- We will need to do this for the next run!!!
- Command line tools to load the data.
- Need more on the codes that create the calibrations.
- Database and API will need to be updated for the hodoscope.
- Detector Simulation:
- SLIC:
- Mostly stable. Probably better not to touch this code. Consider this frozen.
- hps-mc:
- Used at SLAC.
- JLAB should switch to this tool. Avoid duplication. Bradley will work on switching to this tool.
- Needs documentation.
- hps-sim:
- This would be the future of SLIC. We should put new development here.
- Needs verification against SLIC output.
- Run Database:
- We need to decide what to do with this.
- Do we want to deprecate this, replace this, carry forward.
- In future meeting – We should discuss the use cases, see how this needs to change to be useful.
- Monitoring Application:
- Updating and testing (fixing) before physics run.
- Spaghetti code.... careful if you want to change this.
- Need to add the hodoscope to the app. Should be similar to ECAL. Can Kyle do this?
- Low level stuff: you would probably be better off writing a separate application.
- Data Catalog:
- We have a lot of data on disk. (3.5 million MC files!)
- Core tools are externally maintained.
- Python scripts are HPS specific to load the data.
- Data load should happen from the MC scripts and recon scripts.
