Review of Minutes
We looked at the [[July 1, 2009 Software|minutes of the July 1, 2009 meeting].
DRootGeom changes--multi-threading and ROOT
David reported that some of the recent changes to the DRootGeom class have been moved to the DGeometry class. Testing is in progress with low momentum protons. large systematic shifts are still seen.
Proposed changes to mcsmear
David has made [???many changes]. The process turned out to be a bit complicated. There is an outstanding issue on how to handle the BCAL. David will lead a discussion on this at a future meeting.
Hall D Unix groups
Elliott had Kelvin Edwards implement [the proposal]. There are still several files on the group disk whose group ownership needs to be cleaned up. Elliott will take care of this when he returns from vacation.
There was a question about how group ownership is handled for files written from Windows. We should understand this.
Tracking removed from HDGeant
Mark will ping Richard on making the change we requested: take trajectory curvature into account when calculating the point of closest approach for the CDC straws.
Not-a-number problem in the BCAL cluster code
Sascha contacted Blake who instituted a fix and checked it in.
Announcements
- Mark has issued a new release. He asked whether we want to formalize the idea of a "production". We agreed that that was not necessary at this point.
- Elliott reported that there are sometimes conflict in the use of voldemort.jlab.org: Primavera use here and e-cad software remotely by a student at UConn. Elliott will contact the student and ask how often he really needs to lock out other users.
Serializing ROOT objects
Elliott led us through his [???explanation and example of how to do it]. He has collected the essential information and tricks one needs. This could have use for distributing online monitoring histograms over the network.
