sPHENIX discussion of software

["Michael P. McCumber" <mccumber AT bnl.gov>]

Hello Chris,

Okay, I'm not surprised given how many storage maps the ported evaluator has. I have to work on paper editing this morning, but afterward could take the edit token on g4eval if you need me to take over.

Hi Mike et al,

just to get this info out there - there are still issues which crash the
evaluator. It didn't show up in my single particle test but when using
the default macro with 10 particles it does. I located a few places
which need to adapt to the 64 bit hit ids which also should make the
calorimeter evaluators functional again.

Sorry for the premature announcement

Chris
