33. 28 Nov., 2001. J. Shank ATLAS Simulation/Recon. SW. 32 Trigger/DAQ Offline Software  The ATLAS High Level Trigger (HLT) is mostly a software trigger  LVL2: Optimized algorithms and simple trigger menus  Event Filter: Offline-like algorithms, full event, and latest calibrations  The LVL1 trigger is a hardware trigger and needs special simulation in offline  TDAQ software is similar to other detector software in terms of offline requirements and applications  Full simulation is used in design and optimization of TDAQ system  Offline software is used to monitor performance (rates, efficiency, single component performance)  However, very stringent QC needed; “mission criticality”

34. 28 Nov., 2001. J. Shank ATLAS Simulation/Recon. SW. 33 T/DAQ Offline Software: Status  LVL1 simulation exists in Athena for e/  /  trigger  Recently, most effort has been in the design of the HLT framework. Main requirement in design:  Use the same software in online and offline environments  Also plan to have similar framework for LVL2 and EF  Possibly sharing of (some) services and algorithms  Presently evaluating Athena for use as EF framework  If OK for EF, then consider use at LVL2  First cycle of design recently finished; now implementing first prototype  Aim for vertical slice prototype for Spring 2002  Exploitation for HLT/DAQ/DCS TDR in late 2002

35. 28 Nov., 2001. J. Shank ATLAS Simulation/Recon. SW. 34 HLT Offline Software: Design  High Level Design stage is finished  Aim is to use same design for LVL2 and EF  System factorized in work areas  Steering  Algorithms  Data Manager  Event Data Model  Interactions needed (and ongoing) with offline and architecture groups

36. 28 Nov., 2001. J. Shank ATLAS Simulation/Recon. SW. 35 Validation of Athena for HLT Use  The ATLAS EF will use selection and classification algorithms derived from the offline suite  Offline software performance therefore has a direct impact on EF farm size and cost  The HLT community has started “validation studies” (detailed benchmarking) of Athena, offline algorithms, and event model  The aim is to set metrics for monitoring trends in software performance  It is clear that the software is presently far from adequate  Not fair to judge during development phase  But benchmarking can (and has) helped spur improvements  Feedback during monthly meetings with A-team and regular interactions with developers  Software performance is also important for offline – hope that offline community will continue this work

37. 28 Nov., 2001. J. Shank ATLAS Simulation/Recon. SW. 36 Summary  New ATLAS framework, Athena, enthusiastically embraced by broad spectrum of sub-system community.  Many US physicists active in C ++ code development  Well integrated into overall ATLAS software effort  Schedule:  DC 0 12/01 Should have full OO sw ready.  Still some Fortran wrapping (muons)  DC1 02/02 Large scale simulation/reconstruction.  Some with GEANT4  Objectivity and Root IO.
