Expect an e-mail from Kent about scheduling and running at the sites
Status of LDAS:
Testing very hard a frozen version of repository. Have had several
restarts. There is an ability to detrend, but there is an issue to deal
with gappy data. Fills gaps with zeros and then can fill gap with
something else; then detrending could cause some problems. If there are
no gaps, there is no issue.
Timeout when system is heavily loaded with requests for wrapper jobs. It
queues up job requests with an infinite wait. A failure was occuring when
datacondAPI would time out. Should have jobs queue only long enough to have
things handle -- now set to 10 seconds. They have implemented a fixed delay
and when there are still no nodes, it cans the job and reports an error.
If you request too many nodes, it will report back that not enough nodes
are available.
This problem is only running on test and dont have enough information to
understand what is happening. The timeout can be set in a resource file.
The datacondAPI currently has a timeout set to 300seconds.
They have turned all LDAS programmers into read only and only Ed can check
in code. Each day, once they have identified and fix that works, Ed puts
it in, then he tags the code.
They have been putting the pre-release on dev, test. Working well all
week. Some of these bugs are exotic functionality. However, when they
fix code
Hope not to make any changes at all. They will only change one file that
causes only file that causes the problems. Want a release a week or so
after the engineering run to capture some of the missing functionality.
There are a couple of other things which have been requested; kent needs to
get Disk Cache API. 4--6 weeks after that release.
LAL and LALWrapper releases:
FCT. They have a problem with the hierarchical is they have not got the
stuff for computing the correct output stats from flat search code. Defines
n-dimensional solid regions in parameter space, but does not refine into
smaller blocks. Hierarchical search code will be rather slow. Not run
under LDAS at this time.
Greg would fix this quickly. One column needs to be put into that new
column. This would be good because they use his code to verify that the
frame writing capabilities
A small amount of E6 data will be kept at the site including some
overlapping data and the data with the injected signals.
E7 tapes will be sent to Caltech how often? Continuous data is 2-3 days.
Data will be available at the sites for the entire time.
current version of code from greg
Calibration:
Code to produce from ZPG representation will go into LAL before E7
release version
Miscellaneous:
Set up a web page for each of the systems which has a table saying
