Round Table
Gloria
- High frequency of stalled jobs with the new physics list: 2% (normal) -> 10% (new physics list)
- cannot be fixed before production, so we may have to cope with it while looking for a fix
- New configuration of the generators location in LCG (using LCG version in the name). We want it in production, but Ben has to fix the scripts.
- Waiting for a JIRA project (LBCORE-62
)
Joel
- lxbuild119 up and running (SLC6)
- half for the services and half for builds
- New LHCbDirac in production since Monday (problem with restart of agents)
Illya
- Ariadne
- defined how to handle security: use Apache virtual host
- ready to install on the new machine (lxbuild119)
- backup policy still to be defined, but not needed for testing
- will discuss with Joel details
Liang
- Changes in DetCond to allow multiple compression mechanism
- Will commit a script to compress the database (to decide where)
Rob
- Code review
- usage of tools: probably used too much (used as wrappers around simple functions)
- reorganize memory layout of classes
- use Gaudi configurables more: move conditional and derived configuration to Python
