This wiki describes how to set up and distribute the NA62 Monte Carlo simulation code.

%TOC%

---+++ Software 

   * Test tarball from Antonino Sergi: [[%ATTACHURL%/NA62MC.tar.zip][NA62MC.tar.zip]]

---+++ Code compilation
 
   * Unpack tarball to !NA62MC
   * Fix libs path problems in GNUMakefile-s (Generator/ and Beam/)
   * Make changes to env.sh: source 'offline' environment; clear XAWLIBS variable
   * Rearrange paths (move system paths after NA62-specific paths)
   * Type 'make' and be patient

---+++ Code distribution

   * Create tarballs for geant4, root, X11 and sw ([[%ATTACHURL%/CreateTarballs.sh][CreateTarballs.sh]])
   * Run special job (with an SGM Admin role) to wget and unpack these tarballs on sites ([[%ATTACHURL%/InstallSoftware.sh][InstallSoftware.sh]])
   * Run test job 

---+++ Job submission

   * Run parameters given in the [[%ATTACHURL%/StandardRun_template.mac.txt][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 [[%ATTACHURL%/jobscript.sh.txt][job script]] is attached (needs editing and streamlining)

---+++ Bulk job submission (job splitting)

   1. Create N .mac files using the  [[%ATTACHURL%/StandardRun_template.mac.txt][template]]
   1. Create one [[%ATTACHURL%/ganga-script.txt][Ganga script]] including the list of N .mac files
   1. Run this script via Ganga

---+++ Problems encountered 

   * DPM does not work properly
