Agenda

  1. Announcements
    • XRootD server for OSG production:
      • with scitoken: xrdfs dtn2302.jlab.org ls /gluex/volatile
      • Meeting between OSDF and JLab: path forward, consolidate individual XRootD connections
  2. Review of minutes and action items
  3. OS Upgrade to Alma9:
    • Current farm: 136 Alma9 nodes and 105 CentOS7 nodes
    • Launch script: OS el9 or OS "el7|el9"
  4. Container updates
  5. Discussion of software upgrade projects:
    • JANA2 (Nathan/Raiqa)
    • RCDB/CCDB (Dmitry)
      • Mark's plan from 2020
      • Status: CCDB 1.06.11 can read database with python3, but not write, CCDB 2 can currently not write either
      • RCDB 0.9 also need DB schema update, coordinate with Marty (website), Sean and Sergey (DAQ side)
    • Geant4 (Richard):
      • Link to Richard's logbook for the Alma9 port
    • ROOT
  6. Review of recent issues and pull requests:
    1. halld_recon: Issues, PRs
    2. halld_sim: Issues, PRs
    3. hdgeant4: Issues, PRs
    4. MCwrapper: Issues, PRs
    5. gluex_root_analysis: Issues, PRs
  7. Review of recent discussion on the GlueX Software Help List (all)

Notes

  • Write access to xrootd server would be useful for offsite production
    • Similar to MCWrapper
    • Post-processing to merge files before writing them to cache necessary
    • Richard: use OSDF service and CVMFS instead of streaming via XRootD paths
  • Tools to discover undeterministic behavior in c++ code:
  • Check if native build works for container on Alma9, eventually get rid of -cntr builds

Action Items

  1. Documentation
    • Improve documentation on singularity containers:
      • supply Alma9 container through CVMFS
      • modify batch submission scripts
  2. Software Upgrades
    • halld_recon:
      • $HALLD_RECON_HOME/src/BMS is deprecated, remove from the repo?
      • Remove dependency on histogram tools [1] (Sean)
    • JANA2 (Raiqa, Nathan):
      • implement JANA2 in build_scripts, provide version.xml for general testing
      • Raiqa will is working on the port of halld_recon now
      • Use Alma9 container?
    • CCDB 2.0 (Dmitry):
      • Check alma9 container
      • Implement version check in v1, test with v2
      • Need to test CCDB DB version update - need instructions / command from Dmitry (Sean)
    • Geant4
      • Use newest version that was approved by Richard
      • Upgrade the Alma9 build first, then try to build on Centos7
    • ROOT
