Software and Computing Resources

Starting, Computing Group, etc.:

If you start working with CLICdp or LCD it is best if you get a computing account in our computing group (zf).

• If you have not joined any computing group:
  Request to be added to the "zf" computing group here: https://resources.web.cern.ch/resources/Manage/Linux/Subscribe.aspx

• If you already have an account part of a computing group
  • and you have to keep it:
    Create a secondary account here: https://account.cern.ch/account/Management/NewAccount.aspx
    Once the account has been activated, request to have your new secondary account added to the "zf" computing group by following the "Subscribe" link above. Do not forget to change to your new secondary account.
  • and want to change groups:
    Request to be added to the "zf" computing group. Once your request has been processed change your primary computing group to "zf".

More information on changing computing groups can be found here https://resources.web.cern.ch/resources/Help/?kbid=067030 and in the cern service-now.

Debugging, Code Quality

• CompilerFlags

Centrally available software

CLIC simulation and reconstruction software installed on AFS and CVMFS: Software

Tutorials, howto, getting started with SiD or ILD Software

Storage Resources: AFS, Castor, EOS, Grid

See: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CLIC/DataStorage

GRID and iLCDirac

• Register to iLCDirac and the ILC VO
• Using Dirac
• Available (ILD) Software via Dirac

Version Control (Subversion, GIT)

• Version Control Instances for LCD (SVN, GIT)

Latex

ON SL6 or CC7 use latex from CVMFS located here: /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/external/texlive/2016

AFS will be phased out soon:

On SL6, use latex from CERN afs located here: /afs/cern.ch/sw/XML/TL2016

See: http://xml.web.cern.ch/XML/textproc/texlivelinux2016.html

Twiki Access Control

Editing is allowed for this Twiki group https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Main/CLICDetectorStudiesGroup, and for the e-group clicdp-twiki-users, so request to be added to the clicdp-twiki-users e-group. Please send an e-mail to clicdp-twiki-admins@cernNOSPAMPLEASE.ch (remove PLEASENOSPAM from the address) and let us know, otherwise your request will be handled on 8am the next working day.

Note that the clicdp-twiki-users e-group contains the zf computing group, so it is not necessary to be added to the e-group if you are a member of the zf computing group.

For external (lightweight) accounts the e-group clicdp-twiki-users-external exists.

For CLICdp-twiki admins

For description of twiki access control see https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiAccessControl
The access control for CLIC twiki pages are set here: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CLIC/WebPreferences
