LHC 11 h Pass 2 – reconstruction details • • • Use v 5 -01 -Rev-19 in the production Start in inverse time order (last runs first, “LIFO”): OK Use MB trigger for CPass 0: 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 88

Results • CPass 0: 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 • Pass 2 current status: 131 jobs, 225, 568 out of 362, 790 files successfully reconstructed => 62. 2% efficiency 89

Losses – Pass 2 • G_exception – average 6. 5% Strong run dependency 90

Losses – Pass 2 (2) • Memory overrun – average 16. 8% Strong run dependency Function of number of events/chunk and data taking configuration 91

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 92

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 – TClones. Array new with placement, where the index come from Get. Entries. Fast – corrupted (? ) raw data – deletion of arrays 93

Plans • Continue the investigation of G__exception on the GRID • Understand the difference between CPass 0 and Pass 2 (MB trigger, V 0 s, cascades? ) • Try to reproduce completely the GRID execution flow on a local machine • Resubmit the failed jobs in “split” mode 94

v 5 -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 95
