Difference: NA62MonteCarlo (56 vs. 57)

• Test tarball from Antonino Sergi: NA62MC.tgz or follow this howto
• Obtain release number and read about modifications in NA62MC/HISTORY

Job submission and output management system code components are held on the na62.gla.ac.uk server. The files attached to this wiki are not the latest versions.

Code compilation

• Versions:
  • v4 - Contains bug in the MC which Tonino spotted after giving us the tar ball
  • v5 - Installed by Janusz on May 10 (r170, see table below)
  • v6 - September 2012 version (r188)
  • v7 - r193: uses GEANT4 9.5p01, improves processing speed roughly by a factor of 5 wrt the previous version
  • v8 - r244: installed directly or via CVMFS (see table below)
  • v9 - r261: fatal bug in 4-lepton decay generator fixed, memory leak fixed, points to geant4 9.5.p02
• Unpack tarball to NA62MC
• Fix libs path problems in GNUMakefile-s (Generator/ and Beam/)

     cp ../NA62/backups/Beam.GNUmakefile Beam/GNUmakefile
     cp ../NA62/backups/Generator.GNUmakefile Generator/GNUmakefile 

• Make changes to env.sh: source 'offline' environment, clear XAWLIBS variable, rearrange paths (move system paths after NA62-specific paths):

     export XAWLIBS=" "

• Source the the environment file (source scripts/env.sh)
• Type make and be patient

• Create tarballs for NA62MC, geant4, root, X11 and sw (CreateTarballs.sh). For example:

      tar -czvf NA62MC_v7.tgz NA62MC
      cd /afs/cern.ch
      tar -czvf ~/G4-libs.tgz sw/lcg/external/geant4/9.5.p01/x86_64-slc5-gcc43/lib
      tar -czvf ~/Qt-libs.tgz sw/lcg/external/qt/4.6.3p2/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/lib
      tar -czvf ~/Boost_libs.tgz sw/lcg/external/Boost/1.48.0_python2.6/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/lib

• Add the G4EMLOW6.23.tgz tarball

      [protopop@ppepc102 gridsw]$ ls v8/
      Boost_libs_v8.tgz  G4EMLOW6.23.tgz  G4_libs_v8.tgz  NA62MC_v8.tgz  Qt_libs_v8.tgz  sqlite_v8.tgz

• Run a special job (with an SGM Admin role) to wget and unpack these tarballs on sites (InstallSoftware.sh)
• Run test job

CVMFS

• Run parameters given in the StandardRun.mac file: run number, number of events, random seed, root output file name
• Job environment parameters are set by sourcing the na62jobenv.sh script created by InstallSoftware.sh
• The .mac is modified using sed on the worker node to modify paths to LAV matrix files, which are installed in the software area by InstallSoftware.sh
• The actual job script is attached (needs editing and streamlining)

<--
Bulk job submission (first proposed option) 

 Create N .mac files using the  template
 
 Create one Ganga script including the list of N .mac files
 
 Run this script via Ganga
