Color code: (critical, news during the meeting: green, news from this week: blue, news from last week: purple, no news: black)
General:
- Locally tested OpenCL compilation with Clang 14 bumping –cl-std from clc++ (OpenCL 2.0) to CLC++2021 (OpenCL 3.0) and using clang-internal SPIR-V backend. Arrow bump to 8.0 done, which was prerequesite.
- Work on bumping GCC still ongoing (by Giulio), will follow up with Clang 15 afterwards, once we are at arrow 10.
ROCm compilation issues:
- Create new minimal reproducer for compile error when we enable LOG(...) functionality in the HIP code. Check whether this is a bug in our code or in ROCm. Lubos will work on this.
- Another compiler problem with template treatment found by Ruben. Have a workaround for now. Need to create a minimal reproducer and file a bug report.
ITS GPU Tracking and Vertexing:
- Matteo will spend 1 week working on multi-threading of ITS vertexing, then go back to GPU ITS tracking.
TPC GPU Processing
- Random GPU crashes under investigation.
- TPC CTF Skimming finalized.
- Bug in TPC tracking on CPU depending on number of threads. 5 gives incorrect result. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 64, 128 seem to be ok. Investigating.
- Problem in CTF decoding when input is missing (empty input is OK, but we want a fallback treatment in case the input is an empty message, not only empty header).
- Problem in TPC tracking, when some TPC pad rows in a sector have issues, track merging across these pad rows seems not to work correctly. Investigating.
TRD Tracking
ANS Encoding
- Waiting for PR with AVX-accelerated ANS encoding
