Announcements
- New releases: AmpTools 0.9.4, halld_sim 3.4.0, MCwrapper 2.0.1. The linked email has links to the release notes for each package.
- AmpTools 0.9.4: Support for weighted events
- halld_sim 3.4.0: Gets parameters for drift time-to-distance relationship from the CCDB.
- MCwrapper 2.0.1: Uses generator binary names consistent with their containing directories.
- This version has a problem with the bggen bash script. See Thomas if you are having difficulties.
- New version of build_scripts: version 1.39: Fixes build of cernlib to find lapack and blas libraries and successfully create the PAW binary.
- Status of Launches.
- Alex reports that the reconstruction launch over 2017 data is 100% complete. It took 30 days to complete. There was no tape I/O bottleneck this time. Up to 1000 jobs were running on the farm simultaneously. Extrapolating, the Spring 2018 data should take 90 days to reconstruct if resources are similar.
