Release plans• Create v5-03-Release after the offline week (now)• Use the production release of Root v5-34-00. Several fixes and
improvements concern directly ALICE– #95175: Read fails after writing an abstract base (“Clone problem”)– #93998: Recent change to TTree::ReadStream/ReadFile fails (“delimiters
problem”)– TFileMerger: better efficiency, treatment of objects that cannot be
merged, trees in subdirectories, “forward compatibility”– Tree libraries: better performance, reworked reading of text files,
Updated TEntryList– New functionality in PROOF– THn, etc. classes for TPC calibration– Multi-threading in VMC
66
New release: necessary steps• Solve Coverity issues• Revise and solve the open Savannah tickets• Solve the main performance issues detected by QA (presented at PB)
– Difference in momentum spectra between positive and negative tracks => account for additional ExB shift
– dE/dx => improved calculation• Provide memory and CPU profiling
– Long-standing issue with the PbPb reconstruction that doesn’t fit in 2.5Gb RAM
• Accommodate the new development: calibration, visualization, DQM, etc.
• Coding conventions

Root & Geant3• Problems with v5-30-06
– It has to be patched for THn-related classes– Cannot “drain” the geometry created with v5-30-02 (AliEn -> local)
• Problems with v5-32-01– Issue with openssh on the build servers– The same problems as with v5-30-06
• Problems with v5-33-02– Crash in the geometry
• All these except the “draining issue” are solved in v5-33-02a• Geant3 v1-14 recreated to fix a duplication in the declaration of deuteron,
triton, He4– It contains also the fixes in Gheisha => no “Geant3/Fluka” correction should be
needed in the future– v5-01-Rev-29: rebuild with the latest Root v5-33-02a and Geant3 v1-14

LHC11h PbPb data: plans• MC production: task #25489, #26646
– New tag from v5-01-Release– The updated macros are prepared by Andreas– Two reconstruction passes (with/without TPC bug)– A short test will be run– The full production will take ~2 months (to be reevaluated after the tests)– This MC should be OK also for pass3 (compatible reconstruction?)
• AOD re-filtering for pass2: task #26717– Should start this week with v5-02-Rev-04– Relatively long processing (2 weeks?)– Streaming of “interesting” raw event (selected by the task of Jacek): task #26736
• Pass3: no task yet– The memory consumption is an issue– Main improvements expected from TPC– Compatibility => changes only in v5-01-Release?– We have to start in a month from now– Detector readiness, etc. from PWGPP

LHC11h Pass2 – reconstruction details• Use v5-01-Rev-19 in the production• Start in inverse time order (last runs first, “LIFO”): OK• Use MB trigger for CPass0: OK• Exercise the full production setup on runs from “grey area”:
special “gdb” production, run 170593: OK• Run with TPC pools: OK• Work on a local raw file: OK• Use OCDB snapshot: OK• Keep only the rec. points for the current event: OK• Switch off QA: OK• Switch off MUON, if the memory consumption is still too
high

Results• CPass0: 185 jobs, 523,509 out of 539,890 raw files successfully reconstructed => 97% efficiency•All runs with mag.field configuration (+ +) ready (170593-169628)
• Details on losses follow
• Pass2 current status: 131 jobs, 225,568 out of 362,790 files successfully reconstructed => 62.2% efficiency

Memory overrun (%)
Strong run dependencyFunction of number of events/chunk and data taking configuration
154
Losses• G_exception
• Debugging hard as there is no traceback• Seems to be random (from syswatch.log)• Irreproducible in local tests• No related issues shown by Valgrind• Appears in the first events of the chunks• Working with ROOT experts, at least to get the
exception in the logs => special “gdb” run• Memory overrun
• Additional profiling ongoing• All external sources are out – gain only possible
through changes in reconstruction
155
Special “gdb” run
• “catch throw” mode• Several problems discovered, to be submitted
to Savannah. Most probably uninitialized memory is used as index in an array– TClonesArray new with placement, where the
index come from GetEntriesFast– corrupted (?) raw data– deletion of arrays
156
Plans
• Continue the investigation of G__exception on the GRID
• Understand the difference between CPass0 and Pass2 (MB trigger, V0s, cascades?)
• Try to reproduce completely the GRID execution flow on a local machine
• Resubmit the failed jobs in “split” mode
157
v5-02-Release
• Complete the transition of the analysis code to the new modules
• Move every library to a sub-directory and get rid of *.pkg (native CMake)
• Fix the Coverity defects and compilation warnings• Solve as much as possible Savannah issues• Create the branch at the end of January• First stable tag in February
