Projects, Tools and EngineeringProjects, Tools and EngineeringThere are a number of division activities that are

either common to several experiments or require developments that take advantage of specific software or engineering expertise.

Stakeholders: Experiments, Accelerator Division, Computing Division

Objectives:– Encourage the use of common tools by several

experiments – sometimes this is not possible – Development of new techniques

Activities:– Development, consulting, support, and distribution of

software components– Design, production, and support of electronic

components or systems


CD Project AreasCD Project AreasSome examples areas of work:

– Core software for experiments: ~8 FTEs + exp. departments

• Framework, Databases, Compilers– Physics Analysis Software ~4 FTEs

• C++ class libraries, ROOT, Visualization– Online software, Trigger&DAQ ~4 FTEs – Collaboration Tools ~ 1.5 FTEs

• Electronic logbook– GRID Applications ~3 FTEs (mainly externally funded)– Data Management ~8 FTEs + the FTEs for SAM– Electronics for experiments ~1 FTE

• Run II and run II upgrades– Accelerator support ~15 FTEs– CD infrastructure ~8 FTEs

• Effort reporting, equipment support

CD Project monitoringCD Project monitoring• We attempt to capture the development and

support activities in the division through project monitoring. Through this process we– define project goals and status,– define beginning and end(!) of projects

• Status reports– Written by project leaders, posted on web– Meetings to review the status are held periodically

• Briefings– Meetings to discuss new projects or major changes

to projects• Project Web pages

– available to all– Record of the status and accomplishments for each

project


Support and maintenanceSupport and maintenanceWe try to concentrate our support efforts on tools and

components needed by the ongoing experimental program. – Support for ROOT is one example.

• Used by almost Run II, Minos, Miniboone, etc. – A core component in many cases

• 1-1.5 FTE for critical ROOT development, user support and distribution

– Highly successful effort• Support will be required over an extended time.

– Active mailing list for questions, issues (3/day on [email protected])– Meet every 3 months with experiments to set priorities– Also meet annually with the full ROOT team and other users at the

annual ROOT workshops• Many important products are HEP specific

– Share support with other labs and institutes • CLHEP, GEANT, GRID

– Share the support with the experiments• C++ Working Group works this way (KAI to GCC migration)• Often this support is done through mailing lists


Simulation and ModelingSimulation and Modeling• Generator support (pythia and others)

– Provide support for CDF and D0 (and CMS) – The patriot project provides physics MC data sets that have

been “approved” by the experts. This project will use central facilities to produce and store data files.

• Detector Simulation– GEANT3 – minimal support (0.1 FTE)

• Used by most experiments at Fermilab• Distribute the product through UPS/UPD• Provide support through mailing lists

– GEANT4 – minimal support (0.3 FTE)• Used by CMS (maybe BTeV)• Distribute though UPS/UPD upon request• Validation studies for CMS using test beam data has been done

here.• Could do more if more manpower was available and the

experiments demanded new features.– Important for LHC and other future experiments.

• Accelerator Simulations


Accelerator Support ProjectsAccelerator Support Projects• Many small projects in FY03 (3-6 months)

– Recycler BPMs, Booster Monitoring, Document Database,…• Current involvement FY04 (15 FTEs):

– Simulations: Modeling of Space Charge in Booster(SCIDAC)– Shot Data Analysis: Tools and Analysis– Tevatron BPMs – Ionization Profile Monitors – Orbit Smoothing– Magnet Database (BLASTdb)– Support for Labview, VXworks

• Possible Future projects (under discussion)– Controls system migration to unix (waiting for technical

review)– Main Injector and other BPMs– Beam Beam simulations for Tevatron – Infrastructure to make lattice calculations in the control room

Hardware: We are replacing the readout electronics. Echotek boards similar to the boards used for the recycler BPMs will be installed in Tevatron support buildings.

Software: front-end, control room applications, “offline”Challenge: to measure antiproton positions in the presence

of a large proton signalCD scientist R. Kutschke (assigned to BTeV software) stepped in to solve this critical problem. He should be able to return to BTeV in the summer

Excel spread sheets should be used by the project manager, L2 managers, and the project office to update various project information. Status files marked Initial, derived from the RunII planning document, are provided for reference only.List of Project Accounting codes relevant to the project should be used when charging to the project.

Please not that some of the files are for management use only and may not be visible to everybody. Also, Pivot Tables on some worksheets are not interactive.

ConclusionsConclusions• Large number of active projects in the

Computing Division• There is always a list of potential projects –

important to set priorities. • Projects are started/ended after consultation

with the experiments or the accelerator division

• Projects are monitored by division management and reports are available to all.

Description

The Control Room Logbook is an electronic logbook used to capture control room activity. The CRL is used in the D0 control room, where over 100 entries are added every day for a total of over 200,000 entries. Minos, MiniBooNE and CMS are also using it. The logbook has a long list of capabilities such as adding images, text, forms, binary fi les, and hand drawn entries. It can also programmatically add entries. For example, the DAQ can log status. In addition, there is a web interface for remote access. Java and XML make the CRL platform independent, vendor independent, and highly configurable.

BLASTdb Accelerator Magnet Database-----------------------------------Short Description of Project: Create and do early populating and critical applications for a modern and maintainable unifying several sources of magnet and alignment data "owned" by Accelerator and Technical divisions.

Milestones agreed on are:0. Agreement on what we are doing.1. Creation of good database, meeting agreed key purposes

a) Repository for the data previously in N. Gelfand's databaseb) Adequate scheme for accepting new survey datac) Repository for some part of the "other" data that AD has currently in pseudo- and

real databases. Use case applications for populating and simple access.2. Refinement of that database, for decent performance, completion of schema to include all the critical data categories, and incorporation of all formulas needed for users to convenientlyaccess data in their prefered forms.3. Incorporation of other data sets for maximal usefulness to AD and TD.
