Core Minutes 4/3/2012ScienceTools: (Jim) New release tag later this week which includes some bug fixes and refactoring of the Aeff classes so that they all use the same bit of code. See Science Tools Development Notes for details.
FSSC: (Tom S.) No new news.
Reprocessing: (Tom G.) One year of data has been fully reprocessed and they are getting that loaded into the astroserver to start up the final set of validations. Once that is complete, the reprocessing will be restarted. Tom noted a number of issues that popped up so far:
IFC Meeting: (Richard) Next IFC meeting is in 3 weeks. Need to produce a budget for 500k in the kitty for this year. Looking to refresh some batch nodes that we "own". Intent is to replace 25% per year. Also planning on more disk, more tape, and to start replacing stand-alone glastlnx servers. Meeting planned with the computing divisin tomorrow to also discuss Mac support. Next year's budget will include P8 reprocessing. Also time to replace the Oracle servers.
MySQL migration: (Heather) No real change from last week: everything is ready to go except for OpsLog because the responsible person (Tony J) has been out of town and unable to test it. We considered moving just the databases intended for mysql-node03 but will hold off because the MySQL server there is due to be upgraded soon from MySQL 5.0 to MySQL 5.5. Tom has checked that the SCons RM DB should be fine with this upgrade. Heather is wondering what other databases are on mysql-node03 and who would know?
Pass7 news: (Leon) When I checked out GR-v17r35p24tr04, and tried to modify TkrGhostTool, it built, but crashed when I tried to run. After a lot of flailing, I narrowed the problem down to the vector of pointers to TkrTowerBits (a local class) that was one of the member variables. I tried changing to a vector of TkrTowerBits objects, and then a fixed array of TkrTowerHits objects. None of this worked, although the failure moved around a bit. Finally, I moved the fixed array from inside the TkrTowerBits class to an anonymous namespace. That seemed to do the trick! I've committed and tagged this version, and I'll be doing the same for pass8, and probably some of the other branches too. I have no idea what was wrong with my original code, which works fine on Windows, or what was right about the final version. I was hoping to track this down, but suddenly, I've lost my appetite for that project! (I'm also not sure if the new code actually works, but at least it doesn't crash!)
Pass8 news: (Tracy) Last week's problems running GR seems to be solved. There is now a patch for a memory leak and some operator error was identified foor the overlay jobs. People are making serious efforts to look at the code we have now. Plans to restructure CalRecon to reflect our growing understanding of clusters. People are starting to realize they want new variables, etc. The output ntuple has expanded by a vast amount and will continue to do so, but ultimately we will trim it back down.
Systests (Heather) Heather has used the existing Confluence page describing the system tests and has successfully run new tests on the proposed new L1proc tag of GR.
New SCons version (Heather) We moved to SCons 2.1.0 for the Linux builds in RM last week. Tom will install the newer SCons on glast-win04 and set up the windows builds to do the same.
GR vc90 (Tracy) Tracy has gotten GoGui going on his laptop. He initially got ScienceTools going and is now moving ahead with GR.
