  1. Trigger Database and Trigger Configurations and Trigger Issues Elizabeth Gallas, Jeremy Simmons (Fermilab - Computing Division) See my Trigger Working Page http://www-d0.fnal.gov/~gallas/trig/trigger.html Database meeting January 07, 2002 E. Gallas/Trigger Db

  2. Recent Success • TrigDb generated Online configurations • Rate Tests: • ratetest_L1Cal-1.00 - 31 triggers • ratetest_L1CalMuon-1.00 - 39 triggers • first time more than 32 trigger bits were used online • ratetest_L1Cal_3and4jet-1.00 - 10 triggers • ratetest_L1CalMuon-1.10 - 53 triggers • largest number of triggers used online to date • Physics datataking: • global_CalMuon-3.00 - 33 triggers • global_CalMuon-3.10 - 48 triggers • created by Levan while I was away. Only one minor problem with xml generation because new feature was being used. Quickly identified, fixed. • GOOD: No changes in trigger db server • and no anticipated changes until a schema change is required such as that needed to include release or stream or rate info • minimal impact from downtime/restarts • server or database on production machine Focus remains on client code, entering needed data, reporting, ‘xml’ output E. Gallas/Trigger Db

  3. High Priority Activity (EG) • Need to get Muon V2.00 terms in the database and update current TL to use it • high priority because more triggers exist than what we are using now. • Prescale generator (need 3 command line ‘programs’ to run online) • Needs a list of trigger names for a TL and enter their prescale class (psc) assignments • fixed rate, no prescale, usually no prescale, hopefully no prescale, always some prescale, always high prescale ... • Generate rates normalized to min_bias rate for the dynamic comparison of rates to previous measurements. • Read generated/measured rates to create a prescale file for use online that will allocate bandwidth according to the psc assignment. E. Gallas/Trigger Db

  4. Also working on ... • XMLGENerator • modifications,additions of features • document these modes in the help feature so I don’t forget that they exist, also provides some doc • Worried about differences in online and simulation xml at Level 3 (and perhaps at Level 2) as long as we are generating the ‘xml’ file. • Client ENTRY interface • many bug fixes, improvements • discovered as new triggers are entered - require minimal changes in code (they just take time to find) • new: Every valid trigger list uses L1 NEOTERMS from one NtyVersion for each subdetector. • need program to copy/create a new trigger list using one NtyVersion to another NtyVersions (names generally stay constant). • Current example is Muon V2.00, though in that case all the names have changed (not typical). • Client REPORT interface • many known changes need to be made to make this fully functional • start a list of additional reports that would be useful (but would not fall under this interface) that might be written by someone other than EG or JS. E. Gallas/Trigger Db

  5. Other thing on TODO list Proposals requiring schema, server and client changes • Ideal trigger rates from lum for prescale gen • prescale generator mentioned - L1 only • with L2 and L3: may ultimately factor into load balancing of streams into file families • Tying TL to L2, L3 Releases • Streams DATABASE (same as last time) • Entering backlog of data changes, some coordination with xml changes • finding/removing junk records from database (affect status changes) • statUsed triggers - some not quite right, figure out/fix xml generator • Level 2 configuration may come online soon! Need to be prepared to include that when it is available. • new proposal from COOR, L2, L3 - should simplify - no agreement at this point. E. Gallas/Trigger Db

  6. Phase 1: last items still remain • Jeremy: • STAT_CURR (2-3 days) • select records by PK • allow a number of changes at one time. • L1 Dialogs entry (3 days) • Entry of data into one table • using EG’s template of entry programs, suggest ways to improve design of client programs, implement user actions (phase 2), JavaScript ... • Elizabeth • NEOTERMS (3 days) • working but in debug phase • debugging using entry of Muon v 2.00 • Forgot generation of ‘tools,filter.rcp’ (4d?) • Rich wrote server methods last summer • needs easier setting of STAT_CURR • needs client interface (web or com line?) • need L3 contact for long term plan (rel?) E. Gallas/Trigger Db

  7. TO DO Summary • Phase 1 (in progress) - Feb 14, 2002 • Phase 2 (client code) - April 2002 • Implement User dependent actions • give different roles different buttons • allow users to update, delete their ‘own’ elements • L2 Preprocessor • association with L2 global terms • Devices, Device Groups for Exposure and TL • Phase 2.5 (Schema,server,client changes) July,Aug 02 • Ideal Trigger rates for prescale calculations • Streams • Releases • Phase 3 (more client methods) • NTY Simulations • Prescale Sets • Phase 4 (design is incomplete) • L1 Simulation to Firmware • L1 board registry (no server methods exist) E.
