# 200630: Software Meeting
Agenda: https://indico.cern.ch/event/932620/
Connected: Philipp, Andre, Erica, Marko, Placido, Valentin, Ulrike,
Apologies:
## MC Generators
* spack recipe for Whizard merged
* Try the spack release
* /cvmfs/sw.hsf.org/spackages/linux-centos7-broadwell/gcc-8.3.0/whizard-2.8.2-ai7uonvddppwgjbgj4i3cc6tuwlqct2m
* /cvmfs/sw.hsf.org/spackages/linux-centos7-broadwell/gcc-8.3.0/whizard-3.0.0_alpha-pi7ncz5cnrbcnzbp6oi32edwb2fswb7m
* Use with:
* `source /cvmfs/sw.hsf.org/key4hep/views/key4hep-stack-0.1/linux-centos7-broadwell/gcc-8.3.0/setup.sh`
* Had to teach spack to pick up the compilers at runtime for whizard
* Install beam spectra into `share` folder
* How to install a branch or master?
* See (k4hep) spack documentation
* https://key4hep.github.io/key4hep-doc/spack-build-instructions/README.html
* Install in directory with a date, because spack doesn't re-install master by itself
* whizard2 gitlab: https://gitlab.tp.nt.uni-siegen.de/whizard/public
* In case a master is needed
* Sindarin collection basically finalized
* Snowmass energy frontier workshop:
* July 20-22
* MC group will present plans
* https://indico.fnal.gov/event/43963/
## Simulation
* Erica: Issue with simulation of muons with fixed pT?
* observed different duplicate vs phi using different muon simulation runs
* Implement tracking validation and then apply to this observation
## Reconstruction
### Tracking
* Refactoring tracking validation
* Adding more basic comparison plots as well
* Duplicates: change were they are identified, maybe do this later
* Selections are configurable from the outside
* Efficiencies for Single Muons and ttbar already reproduced
### Particle Flow
### Digitizer
* TODO: Prepare dE/dx plots for stub tracks
## Infrastructure
* Spack recipes:
* Added recipe for MarlinWrapper
* gmprun not installed at the moment; replace by gaudirun.py ?
* Issue with URL handler to find versioned tarballs
* Change ilcinstall release script to add the p00 always
* Added recipes for FCCSW
* Started with ConformalTracking recipes
* Needs a lot of dependencies
## iLCDirac
* New version coming ASAP
* DiracOS v1r11 tested
* Calice moving from LCG FileCatalog to DFC, keep v6r22 with lcg bundles, because those contain LFC bindings still
* Started with creating new puppet manifests to install new CC7 servers
* Created new Servers, migrating services
* voilcdiracwebapp[2].cern.ch available
## key4hep
### podio/edm4hep/core/nightlies
* need a production ready event store
#### EDM4hep
### MarlinWrapper
* Conversion script under works
### Allpix based Digitizer
* Working on simulating with ddsim
### dE/dX
* Need to follow up, understand required/desired/possible resolutions
### LCGeo Test
* CLIC_o2_v04: less volumes than o3 much faster startup
## AOB
### Next Meeting
