Page updated October 30,

Status of releases
- p13
- p12
- RECO not certified for production use in this version.
- Intended for development of TMB.
- DO NOT use this version of RECO for any official
studies.
- p11
- Currently installed on farms: p11.13.00
Recent progress:
- p13.01.00 being installed on MC and data farms for testing.
- Successfully tested shifted calorimeter geometry in p13.
Major outstanding problems /
issues:
- We have not yet deployed access to the detector calibration
databases.
- Issues:
- Memory requirements - d0omCORBA is being improved.
- Server reliability - not yet tested.
- There is a critical need to develop an Event based Error
chunk, that can keep track of things like fatal unpacking errors. This
information also needs to be propogated to the TMB. This is one of the projects
previously advertised.
Ongoing projects:
- Calorimeter - A task force is studying
the issue of the calorimeter zero-suppression threshold (online, Level 3 and
offline).
- Investigation into physical dependences of packages has started, with
the goal of reducing the memory required to link an analysis executable.
- Discussions to make more direct connection between TMB and TMB Tree
objects is underway. Proposal to ID / Physics groups has been sent.
- RECO Monitoring
tasks - Currently nine people have volunteered and are working on the two
advertised
RECO monitoring projects, however the level of effort has to date been rather
low. There are many additional aspects of these projects that need
volunteers.
- Chunk documentation -
Currently three people have volunteered and others are participating, however
the convergence rate is rather slow. More people are needed.
- An effort is underway to reduce the memory required for RCP (by about
80 MB) and the time required to load (from several minutes to tens of seconds).
Version one deployed in t02.38.00.
