sPHENIX discussion of software

["Osborn, Joe" <osbornjd AT ornl.gov>]

Dear sPHENIX software enthusiasts,

 

Yesterday the 3D field map was merged into the macro repository such that the same field map is used in the simulation and reconstruction by default. When you update your macros, you should note that:

1. The default Fun4All macro has changed to reflect the different field map. Note that the previous configuration (i.e. before the merge) with the 2D field map still functions as expected, so the change is not a backwards breaking change.
2. The new field map will cause your memory usage per job to go up because it is a 3D, rather than 2D, map. Keep this in mind when running jobs.

 

Happy simulating,

 

Joe Osborn
