Mokka, main guidelines and future

Mokka, main guidelines andfuture

P. Mora de Freitas Laboratoire Leprince-RinguetEcole polytechnique - France

Linear collider Workshop 2004, Paris

The first main guideline:

Let’s compare detector designs in a common framework !

• It means, to simulate different detector models with :The same physicsThe same simulation framework (Geant4)The same input data filesThe same output data format (to be able to apply

almost the same reconstruction and analyze programs)

P. Mora de Freitas – L.L.R. Ecole polytechnique, France – LCWS04 Paris

The second main guideline:

Keep it simple, stand alone as possible and available for all !

• It means, to just rely on the Geant4 framework

functionalities and standard building tools (gmake)

To write out just ASCII filesTo provide an open wide access via the

Mokka WEB page

P. Mora de Freitas – L.L.R. Ecole polytechnique, France – LCWS04 Paris

The third main guideline:

Keep trace !• It means,

Tagged releases (almost monthly)Release notes for each releaseJust one reference geometry database, indeed local

copies can be useful while developing new detector models

Output data refers to a known detector model in the reference geometry database

Run log file (detector model, geant4 and Mokka release tag ids, line command parameters, etc)

(Slide by Tony Johnson)

JAS3 + LCIO

• JAS3 Plugin exists for viewing and analyzing LCIO files– Allows to directly open

and browse any LCIO

– Works with any LCIO file • no requirement for prior

knowledge of what is being read.

– Recently updated to support LCIO 1.0

• (in fact 0.8 or later)

(Slide by Tony Johnson)

What we learned III:What we learned III:New users ask for new New users ask for new

functionalities and use cases !functionalities and use cases !

• Big thanks to Frank Gaede (DESY) for a set of new user facilities for Mokka:steering filesinit commandsenvironment variables Plugin interface for Geant4 user actions,

mainly for “on line” analyzes

P. Mora de Freitas – L.L.R. Ecole polytechnique, France – LCWS04 Paris

But what we really learned:But what we really learned:We have to work together !We have to work together !

• Big improvement since the LCIO interface

• The LCWS04 Mokka release includes very good contributions also fromJeremy McCormick (NICADD)Frank Gaede (DESY)

P. Mora de Freitas – L.L.R. Ecole polytechnique, France – LCWS04 Paris

Future

• We have to improve working together:by an informal developers committee and its

organization around the CVS repository management, code standards, Geant4-LC users interface, etc.

to bring adequate level of detector descriptions to this common simulation tool.

Conclusions:

1) “Improve framework” but“Keep things simple”.

2) “Let’s compare detector designs in a common framework”, to do this

“We need adequate level of detector descriptions”.

Let’s work together !!!
