Current Code Release: March 22, 2002

Update of executables to p10.15.01

Note, I have changed the structure of the tarballs so that they do not include the libraries or the rcp databases. These are now contained within there own files. This slightly reduces the size of the tarballs and reduces time to extract them.

Use the Linux2.2 version of the rcp file/

The tarballs to obtain are:

Minimum Bias Model

Here is the basic macrofor generating MB files: Events can also be found with dataset definition: mcp10-minimum-bias-p10-15-01 (note that while generated with p10.15.00 in most cases this does not effect their usefulness as the changes do not effect them).

Old Code

 

Cardfile update: use xcardfiles-v00-03-09.tar.gz


It is time to upgrade mcp10.


Code to be released:


mcp10

Generators:     p10.06.01
Dogstar:        p10.06.01
D0sim:          p10.06.01
d0reco:         p10.08.01
recoanalyze:    p10.08.01
mc_runjob:      v03-03-13
cardfiles:      v00-03-05
MagField:       v00-01-00

All of the code is new and ready to go.

Code tarfiles:

d0mino.fnal.gov:/d0dist/dist/minitar/tarfiles
mc-p10.06.01-Linux2-KCC_4_0-maxopt.tar.gz
mc-p10.06.01-Linux2-KCC_4_0.tar.gz

xcardfiles-v00-03-05.tar.gz
mc_runjob_v03-03-13.tar.gz
MagField-v00-01-00.tar.gz


mc_runjob:

You will need to change the the stanard and local switch boards to include p10.08.01. Contact me if you ahve difficulties


Minimum Bias Model:

 The standard new MB model will be used..


Cardfiles:

It is very simple to use the cardfiles package with mc_runjob, in
addition to the production and decay strings, you provide the
following two parameters:

cfg pythia define string CardfileVersion 
cfg pythia define string CardfileDir 

See http://www-clued0.fnal.gov/mc_runjob/mainframe.html for instructions
on
how to use the cardfiles.

WARNING: Do not use cardfiles that are not part of the official
         release. If some-one wants a special sample using a new
         cardfile they have to get it released (a quick procedure) by
         contacting a physics group representative.  Once released we
         can release a new version of the cardfiles package to the
         farms. This will be a much faster process and does not
         require a full production release of the software.

         If you need to run a test of a new cardfile YOU MUST ensure
         that it does not go into sam. Also remove the phase mcp07 and
         replace with a unique string such as test01. Files that do
         not have an official release pass should not go into SAM for
         the time being.

Cardfiles to use:

When obtaining a request to generate MC events (which should be
submitted centrally so we can keep track of the requests) you will be
given a cardfiles version, directory, and a cardfile name. For example
to generate QCD events you would be asked to generate:
v00-02-07 hit pythia_qcd.cards
and the usual PT ranges and number of events to
overlay.


Future Plans:

mc-runjob is going to be integrated into the production releases. This
should speed up the certification. Some of the farms may be used for
helping run certification samples.

Job Submission

Short Term: I will be setting up a web page that describes what has to
be included in a submission. The jobs will be submitted to myself and a
deputy and distributed to the farms.

Long Term: Sam is being upgraded to be a great deal more flexible
with the description of MC samples. When this available we will
have a GUI/web interface for submitting requests.
