Production issues for BBSIM

T. Wenaus, Paris simu workshop 1/95

  • Production program management
    • Production area at SLAC: babar/bbsim in AFS area
    • Maintain production version of BBSIM (an official SRT release, probably typically not a major release but a minor one containing updates required for production)
  • Random number management
    • consult LEP experiments (Tofigh Azemoon, Steve O'Neil)
  • McFio robustness against crashes
    • Paul Lebrun says no more than circa 100 events lost due to crash
    • Has to be tested and confirmed
  • Additional info on the output file
    • Run header:
      • run ID
      • rndm seeds for job
      • run conditions (initially in prod logs only)
    • Event header:
      • event ID
      • random number seeds for event
  • error logging and end of job summary
  • timing info
  • healthy subsystem codes
  • production certification test protocol
    • eg. 1000 event BB run on IBM, HP, Alpha; no crashes and available test suites OK
