SuperB Computing Workshop

15 Dec 2008, 14:40 → 17 Dec 2008, 20:00 Europe/Rome

Auditorium B. Touschek (Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati dell'INFN)

Giuseppe Finocchiaro (INFN - LNF), Ida Peruzzi (LNF), Local organizing committee:, Matteo Rama (LNF), Rita Bertelli (LNF - INFN)

The SuperB Frascati group is happy to announce that the SuperB computing workshop will take place at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, December 16-17, 2008. There will be a Tutorial Session on fast Simulation on the afternoon of December 15. You are invited to register as soon as possible. All meeting activities take place in building 36. The security at the main gate will give you the instructions to get there. A meeting fee of Euro 80,00 will cover transportation from hotel to LNF and back, lunches, coffee breaks and the social dinner (Tuesday, December 16). The cost of the social dinner for companions is Euro 50,00. The fee will be paid in cash upon arrival at the registration desk (credit cards/cheques cannot be accepted).

FastSim tutorial

Instructions for tutorial participants.

To participate in the SuperB FastSim tutorial you will need a laptop computer with internet access and Root (preferably version 5.20) and a Subversion client installed. This will allow you to inspect and analyze the data produced with the PacMC application. To run the PacMC application, you will need to be a BaBar collaborator. Non-BaBarians can work with a BaBar partner to follow this part of the tutorial. We will run the PacMC application remotely at SLAC on a SL4 platform (yakut10 or equivalent). You should try to setup a 24.3.5 test release at SLAC, and import and build the FastSim/V0.0.1 SuperB release before the tutorial, following the instructions given in the wiki page
http://mailman.fe.infn.it/superbwiki/index.php/FastSimDoc/Quick_tour. For non-BaBarians, we will put the output root files in a public web location for the analysis part of the tutorial. The tutorial itself can be found under the FastSim Wiki, http://mailman.fe.infn.it/superbwiki/index.php/FastSimDoc/Tutorial
