Testing the Production Software Releases - 15.3.1.X

WARNING: This page is obsolete.

As a check on the quality of the production software releases installed at the Tier-2s, the fullchain CSC monte carlo has been run on specific releases, and the output from the MC has been compared to output from other Canadian sites. The recipe for this check is to use glite job submissions to produce 50 t tbar events with the transforms csc_evgen_trf.py, csc_atlasG4_trf.py, csc_digi_trf.py, and Reco_trf.py. The output is slightly more detailed than for earlier releases.

The glite commands used are (eg.): glite-wms-job-submit --vo atlas -a -r ce1.triumf.ca:2119/jobmanager-lcgpbs-atlas csc_fullchain_allsites.jdl

glite-wms-job-output --dir /tmp <job-id>

(See the attached scripts for details on what is actually run). Of course, for valid comparisons, identical scripts are run on each Computing Element for a given release.

15.3.1

15.3.1.5	09/11/17	TRIUMF - ce1	50	Xeon	wn061.triumf.lcg	output file	Ref file
15.3.1.5	09/11/17	TRIUMF - ce2	50	Xeon	wn115.triumf.lcg	output file	Identical to ce1
15.3.1.5	09/11/17	Alberta	50	AMD	thuner145.ualberta	output file	Some differences (see below)
15.3.1.5	09/11/17	SFU - snowpatch	50	Xeon	s16	output file	Identical to ce1
15.3.1.5	09/11/17	SFU - bugaboo	50	Xeon	b108	output file	Identical to ce1
15.3.1.5	09/11/17	Toronto	50	Xeon	node160.ibmcluster.physics.utoronto.ca	output file	Identical to ce1
15.3.1.5	09/11/17	Victoria	50	Xeon	c10b11	output file	Identical to ce1

Note: the results at Alberta differ markedly from the results on the other sites. However, when the csc_atlasG4_trf.py output on ce1 is used as input on Alberta (as a test), the results are identical to the other sites. Also, when the ce1 output from csc_evgen08new_trf.py is used as input on Alberta, the results are identical to the all-Alberta results. In other words, the differences are due entirely to the simulation transform csc_atlasG4_trf.py.
