<p> <table width="98%" align="center" cellspacing="1" style="border:1px solid #486090;"> <tbody> <tr> <td cellpadding="3px" style="background-color:#486090; font-weidht:bold; color:white;">Quote:</td></tr> <tr> <td cellpadding="10px" style="background-color:#FFFFB0;"><h2><u>Today's Tasks</u></h2> <p><strong>Julie:</strong> Continue writing Python project! </p> <p><strong>Mitchell, Evelyn, Eliot (not here on Tuesdays), Ryan:</strong> Work through bash project</p> <p><strong>Leo:</strong> continuing gathering information for the "physics of antennas" lecture series! We start this Friday at 4pm. </p> <p><strong>Alex M:</strong> Try to get scaling into the xmacro, comment the code better.</p> <p><strong>Alex P:</strong> Add on the AraSim fixes mentioned below! He is testing this now. We are waiting for updates. </p> <p> </p> <h2><strong><u>TO-DO List</u></strong></h2> <p>The following is our coding to-do list:</p> <ol dir="ltr"> <li> <p dir="ltr"><u>Get our Ara sim errors fixed</u></p> <ol> <li> <p dir="ltr">Explanation of issue (1): Usually 1 of ~100 AraSim jobs never completes. OSC shows "completed", but the flag is never written and the output file is not filled in entirely. The error file shows the following.</p> <ol> <li> <p dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00">UPDATE: Alex P. has edited our bash job script to save the outputs to $TMPDIR and then to pbscp (submit a "job" to copy them over) them into our correct directory that the bash script needs them in. He is testing this now and will report back. </span></p> </li> <li> <p dir="ltr">Note: we still need to make sure that every time we run that we divide AraSim runs into MANY more jobs (ie further parallelize by dividing into, say, 100 instead of 10). </p> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> <pre> DATA_LIKE_OUTPUT=1,2 doesn't work with DETECTOR=0,1,2 DATA_LIKE_OUTPUT controls data-like output into UsefulAtriStationEvent format; without a real station selected (using DETECTOR==3,4), the mapping to the data-like output will not function correctly There are 1 errors from settings. Check error messages. SysError in <TFile::Flush>: error flushing file outputs/AraOut.setup.txt.run29.root (Stale file handle) </pre> <ol> <li>Explanation of issue (2): We keep timing out of the interactive job when AraSim is running (if the user isn't remaining active on their terminal). <ol> <li>OSC suggested that we use a virtual desktop (via ondemand) instead of using an interactive job. We will try this. <ul> <li>Note: We should now be requesting 2GPUs instead of 1GPU. <span style="background-color:#FFFF00">UPDATE: Alex P. requested one, but it took too long and he had to leave before he got it. </span></li> </ul> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> <p> </p> <ol dir="ltr"> <li> <p dir="ltr"><u>Make the following variables in the bash script. </u></p> <ol> <li> <p dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00">UPDATE: Alex M. figured out how to pass the scale factor into the xmacros. We used the "tr" command in bash. He will be testing this and can update us at the Thursday meeting. </span></p> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> <p><br /> <strong>In xmacros/simulationPECmacroskeleton_prototype.txt (use sed command):</strong></p> <pre> Grid spacing=0.1 Frequency= factor of n higher This factor of "n" higher in frequency has to be the same as the Multiplier_factor in the roulette algorithm AND the same as GeoFactor in fitnessFunction_ARA_amy.cpp. </pre> <ol dir="ltr"> <li> <p dir="ltr"><u>Turn tournament on in the GA. </u></p> </li> <li> <p dir="ltr"><u>Parallelize the AraActualBicone job.</u></p> <ol> <li> <p dir="ltr">The AraSim run in Gen 0 that gets Veff for the ARA actual bicone input file is not currently being parallelized.</p> </li> </ol> </li> <li> <p dir="ltr"><u>Comment code thoroughly</u></p> <ol> <li> <p dir="ltr"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00">UPDATE: Alex commented code that utilized the scale factor (Part_E.sh).
