Description

It will explain the Monte Carlo (MC) production in the CMS collaboration by emphasizing on the two main tools: Monte Carlo request Management (McM) and Production Monitoring Platform (pMp). Please register to confirm your participation.

This tutorial will target the following areas mainly:

MC production and monitoring in computing
Details about McM, pMp and DAS
Common problems in MC production and solutions
Expert level details in MC Production
- Requests, tickets, flows, campaigns, chained campaigns
- Brief overview about grid pack generation, datacards
Scripting in McM
