  4. Parallel transform execution

  5. Parallel transform execution • Spills are independent so can be transformed in parallel • Celery • Python asynchronous task queue • Multi-processing • RabbitMQ • Message broker

  6. Celery and RabbitMQ Celery Worker RabbitMQ Celery Worker • Celery workers register with RabbitMQ automatically on start-up • Celery workers can run locally or remotely • Celery workers spawn N sub-processes to manage task execution Celery Worker

  7. Celery workers and tasks • Celery tasks (request to transform a spill) are dispatched to the next available worker • Worker dispatches task to a free sub-process • Each sub-process is configured to apply a transform • Each worker has its own MAUS deployment Celery Worker RabbitMQ Transform Transform spill’ spill Celery Worker Transform spill’ Celery Proxy Transform spill spill Celery Worker spill’ Transform Go.py Transform

  8. Celery workers and broadcasts • Celery broadcasts are dispatched all workers • Custom code to force broadcast into all sub-processes • Broadcast is used to ensure all workers have the same MAUS configuration and transform – dynamic worker configuration Celery Worker RabbitMQ configuration Transform status Transform configuration Celery Worker status configuration Transform status Celery Proxy Transform configuration Celery Worker status Transform configuration Go.py Transform status

  9. Celery workers • Start up Celery worker executable • celeryd --c 2 --l INFO --purge • --c is number of sub-processes (default is number of cores) • --l is default Celery logging level • --purge clears any backlog of messages from RabbitMQ • Celery spawns sub-processes • Up to --c value • Sub-processes execute tasks i.e. transforms

  10. Dynamic configuration and Go.py • Uses reflection to get transform name(s) • MapPyGroup(MapPyBeamMaker, MapCppSimulation, MapCppTrackerDigitization) • “Transform specification” • Invokes a Celery broadcast • Transform specification + MAUS configuration + configuration ID (Go.py process ID) • Waits for a maximum of 5 minutes to hear from workers • Synchronisation • Celery workers and Go.py client should run the same MAUS version

  11. Dynamic configuration and Celery workers • Celery worker main process • Receive broadcast command • If configuration ID has changed • Crams transform specification/configuration down to sub-processes • If all sub-processes update correctly then main process saves the configuration ID, transform specification/configuration too • If sub-process dies, a new sub-process will spawn with the current configuration • Catches and converts any exceptions • Avoid non-Pickleable exceptions from causing unexpected errors • Celery worker sub-processes • Death existing transform • Create and birth new ones • Catches and converts any exceptions

  12. Transforming spills and Go.py • execute_transform • Celery task to execute MAUS transforms • Client-side proxy • Submits spill to RabbitMQ • Returns AsyncResult to Go.py • Polls AsyncResult • Status – SUCCESS, FAILURE, PENDING • Results – the transformed spill • Errors

  13. TODOs • Document error messages that can appear in Celery worker terminal window • Draft already done but out-of-date due to recent reimplementation • http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/projects/maus/wiki/MAUSCeleryRabbitMQRecovery • Relate to a “recovery” guide for control room

  14. Document-oriented database

  15. Document-oriented database • Cache spills between input-transform and merge-output phases • Products • CouchDB • (id, document) • 0.1.0 –yum install • 1.1.0 –day-wasting unable to build from source experience • MongoDB • Collections of (id, document) • Latest version –yum install

  16. Document-oriented database • Go.py currently can use both or just cache spills in-memory • Current naïve algorithm • Read spill from database • Pass to merge-output • Delete spill from database

  17. TODOs • Resolve how document cache is used within a single run • By single instance of Go.py running merge-output? • By multiple instances of Go.py running merge-output? • Determines • How spills are identified • How they’re marked as having been “reduced” • When they can be deleted • Update Go.py appropriately

  18. Histogram mergers

  19. Histogram mergers • Aggregate spill data and update histogram • Super-classes for graph packages • Matplotlib – ReducePyMatplotlibHistogram • PyROOT – ReducePyROOTHistogram • Examples: • ReducePyHistogramTDCADCCounts • ReducePyTOFPlot (Durga) • Mergers do not display the histograms

  20. Histogram mergers • Configuration options • Image type e.g. EPS, PNG, JPG,… • Refresh rate e.g. output every spill, every N spills • Auto-number image tag • Output JSON document • Base64-encoded image data • Image tag used for a file name • Meta-data e.g. English description

  21. Image outputter • OutputPyImage • Configuration options • Filename prefix • Directory • Extract and save base64-encoded image data • Image file e.g. EPS, PNG, JPG,…

  22. TODOs • Image JSON document • Add keywords field • OutputPyImage • Save image and JSON document with meta-data • JSON document becomes part of the online reconstruction-web server API

  23. Web front-end

  24. Web front-end • Django • Python web framework • Refresh every 5 seconds • Currently using Django test web server • Serve up images from a directory • “API” between online reconstruction framework and web front-end is just this directory • Can run web-front end anywhere so long as images are made available “somehow”

  25. Current state

  26. TODOs • Web server • Deploy under Apache 2.2 and mod_wsgi • Render images and meta-data • Search-by-keyword option • Extensible • Customise layout and presentation later
