Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Geant4 in LCG ◘ Strategy: ▪ First Production ◦ Comparison of 7.0.cand01 vs 6.2.p01 ◦ During the event production phase, 5635 had to be run for each Geant4 version: jobs to be run ◦ Finally the statistical tests were applied to each pair of Geant4 version outputs ▪ Second Production ◦ Comparison of 7.0.p01 vs 7.1.cand01 ◦ During the event production, 6440 jobs had to be run ◦ This time each production job contained the production of both Geant4 versions and the statistical analysis

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Geant4 Production in LCG ◘ Stages: 1. Software installation: Installation of the Geant4 packages (with all the required external additional packages: PI, AIDA, etc) ▪ Software provided via a tar file ▪ Installation through jobs using specific LCG tools ▪ Fundamental request for the sites: Shared area between WNs and perfectly definition of the software installation region 2. Events production: ▪ Jobs sent by bunches of 1227 ( nd production) defined by each physics list ▪ 5000 events in each job were produced 3. Analysis: Statistical tests to perform the comparison between the two G4 versions

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Geant4 Production in LCG ◘ General Characteristics: ▪ VO: ◦ 1 st Production: dteam (6 certificates, one as dteamsgm) ◦ 2 nd Production: alice (2certificates, one as alicesgm) ▪ Sites and middleware operating system: ◦ 1 st Production: RedHat7.3 ◦ 2 nd Production: Scientific Linux ▪ Resources: ◦ 1 st Production: Own RB+BDII+UI: lxb2006 at CERN ◦ 2 nd Production: lxplus resources and 2 BDII ▪ All output: ◦ 1 st Production: About 30 GB stored at CERN (lxn1183) ◦ 2 nd Production: Comparable quantity stored at CERN (lxn1180) afs Geant4 area at CERN was set to hold the outputs

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Framework developed for Geant4 ◘ Generation of a general framework consisting of 3 major tools: ▪ Tool for general and automatic job submission ▪ Tool for events generation in all those sites where the software has been installed ▪ Tool for data analysis (not needed during the 2 nd Production) ◘ First Part: Tool for job submissionMethodology: ▪ Copy and registry of the Geant4 package ◦ A file containing the TURL is created and is passed to the WN ▪ Follow up of candidates able to admit Geant4 jobs ▪ Selection of long queues only ▪ Automatic built of the.jdl files for each long queue ◦ Built taking as base those proposed by the user joining the name of the queue where to submit the job ◦ Software Installation tools are used to perform the installation ▪ Submission of these files to each queue

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Framework developed for Geant4 ◘ Software Installation tool (Tool submitted in the first step to all sites to install the software) ▪ First step: ◦ The tar file is copied from the SE at CERN to the WN ◦ It is untar and copied to the VO_DTEAM_SW_DIR area ▪ Second Step: Software Installation tool ◦ Some Geant4 tests are performed to validate the installation ◦ If succeeded a tag is published in the Information System ▪ Results: ◦ The software installation was tried in 63 sites ◦ 1 st Production: 28 sites ◦ 2 nd Production: 35 sites ▪ Main Problems: ◦ Sites were having submission problems ◦ Sites did not have defined the VO_DTEAM_SW_DIR area or did not have shared area among WNs

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Framework developed for Geant4 ◘ Second Step: Tool for the ProductionStrategy: ▪ Only long queues will be used to run the production ▪ All outputs (hbook files) will be stored at CERNMethodology: ▪ Geant4 provides their own code to perform the events production ▪ Python Script for each type of particle, energy, physics list and calorimeter is created by the framework from one template provided by Geant4 ▪ Generation of one jdl per job containing the code provided by Geant4 (the same for all jobs) + that script generated by the framework and changing for each job ▪ Submission of all jdl files to all sites containing the Geant4 installation

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Framework developed for Geant4 Results (First and Second Production): ▪ A hbook file containing 5000 event is created in the case the production succeeded ▪ The name of the file is created by the framework containing the type of particles, the energy, the physics list and the calorimeter within the name (important to perform later the comparison) ▪ The hbook file is copied and registered to a disk at CERN · During the 2nd production a tar file containing different files should have been created in the case the job succeeded. This file was retrieved to the afs area delivered for this aim and copied and registered to the grid. Around 4508 jobs (two physics list for both Geant4 versions) were run in lest than 2 weeks in 28 sites with a efficiency of about 87% And for the 2nd production the results are provided by Alberto Ribon

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Framework developed for Geant4 ◘ Before the analysis stage the outputs should be checked (only for the 1 st Production): ▪ Dealing with about 5000 outputs is not an easy task ◦ Tool able to print in a file all the LFNs in the case the efficiency was 100% (reference file) ◦ Output retrieve (only std.out files). If succeeded the file will contain the name of the LFN ◦ A 2 nd tool will check all std.out files looking for the succeeded jobs - The corresponding GUID and LFN will be stored (test file) and compared with the information included in the reference file ▪ At this point it was more important for us to analyze the successful jobs than to understand the cause of the unsuccessful ones ( BUT THIS PROCEDURE IS WRONG!)

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Framework developed for Geant4 ◘ Third Step: Tool for the Analysis (Only for the 1 st Production)Methodology: ▪ Search of common successful outputs in both Geant4 Versions ▪ Each couple of successful outputs are copied into a local area and analyzed with their own tools ▪ Finally the copy is removed from the local area

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Update of the Framework ▪ This framework covered the Geant4 requirements for its first production ▪ It’s not useful for larger production ◦ Difficult to deal with the output and visualize the results ◘ A new complete tool has been developed for large production ▪ Flexible enough to be used for any VO and any user application ▪ Most of the improvements mostly relative to the outputs handle Documentation: “LCG2 User Guide” bin/index.cgi?var=eis/docs Download:

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Update of the Framework ◘ The new framework consists mainly of two tools: ▪ Tool to perform the automatic job submission ▪ Tool to retrieve and handle the corresponding output 1. Automatic job submission Overview: Given an user’s jdl this tool performs the following actions: ◦ It lists all sites able to run the jdl provided by the user ◦ It creates automatically a jdl file based on that provided by the user ◦ It submits the just created jdl containing the user application(s) Moreover it creates a subdirectory (defined by the user) containing a list of the sites where the jobs have been submitted, the corresponding jdls and the jobs IDs

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Update of the Framework Additional Features: ◦ The user can define the queues where the jobs are submitted. These queues are checked to see whether it fixes the job requirements. ◦ Requested LFN files can be included. The corresponding TURLs are searched and included in a file passed in the InputSandbox to the WN 2. Retrieve and handle of the outputs ◦ The 2 nd tool checks the status of the jobs from the job IDs included in the directory given by the user ◦ It provides the following output: The job run in ramses.dcic.ups.es:2119/jobmanager-torque-dteam is in status: Scheduled The job run in grid01.phy.ncu.edu.tw:2119/jobmanager-torque-dteam is in status: running The job run in scaic10.scai.frauhofer.de:2119/jobmanager-torque-dteam is in status: over The user is queried to retrieve the output to the destination he has previously decided

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Genova 13 th -20 th July Patricia Mendez Lorenzo Update of the Framework Additional Features: It is possible to visualize the outputs on the web A html report is provided showing the files decided by the user
