  1. Code Migration Plans James Bellinger University of Wisconsin at Madison 22-Feb-2010 Straw Man Proposal 22-Feb-2010 1

  2. Proposed Target Dates • 1-Aug-2010: No further CDF use of SL3 at Fermilab. • 1-Jun-2010: Users warned to move from SL3 • 1-May-2010: No further builds on SL3. • 1-Apr-2010: Announce ports of 6.1.4, etc • 15-Mar-2010: Announce validation of 6.1.6m • 1-Mar-2010: Announce port of 6.1.6m and 6.1.4mc.m. Request user tests

  3. Deliverables • 6.1.6.m, development, 6.1.4mc.m, 6.1.4.m, + other releases • Compiled/built on SL4 and SL5 • Validated to produce the same results as their SL3 normal counterparts • Use new Oracle client to match server • 6.1.4mc.m tarballs for SL4 and SL5 • Estimate of systematic error in analyses due to OS change • Rpm list for SL5 to allow running SL3 binaries

  4. RPMs for compatibility • To run SL3 binaries on SL4: • tcl-8.3.5-92.2 • To run SL3 binaries on SL5: • tcl-8.3.5-92.2 • readline-4.3-5.2

  5. Validation • Verify code changes have no effect in 100K test • Verify that OS library changes have no effect using PerfiDia on a run section • Verify no significant random number changes in 100K test • Verify that SL3-created files read by SL5 can be re-written on SL5 and re-read on SL3

  6. Validation Details • The thorough OS library validation using PerfiDia needs only to be done once • Each migrated release will be compared only to its mother release, and only to 100K events

  7. Limitations • The only monte carlo release we will port is 6.1.4mc • We will only port a selection of the releases, those used by 1% of the collaboration or more as measured by the number of jobs submitted on the farms in the past 6 months

  8. Procedure for Release X • Tools are almost ready • Review patches and modify for this release • Experts then verify • Produce X.migrate release • Validate X.migrate release • Produce X.m release At least 2 more releases need to be migrated: development and 6.1.4

  9. Review Patches and Modify • The older the release the more complicated this becomes • Guru: 2 days • Apprentice: 4 days • If there are invasive code changes the experts need to also review • Experts: 2 days • Build takes CPU on build machines, contention with other builds possible

  10. Produce X.migrate Release • Apply patches and build • Guru: 1 day • Apprentice: 2 days • If bugs appear, triple these numbers

  11. Validate X.migrate release • 10K test • 1 day • 100K test • 4 days • Hard to test parallel releases without a farm • Have to be able to specify OS

  12. Produce X.m Release • Take patches and build the final release • 1 day • Requires CPU on build machines, contention with other builds possible

  13. Status as of 21-Feb • Distribution tools are being tested • 6.1.6.migrate release is being tested by users • Problem, possibly configuration • PerfiDia next: expect 2 weeks to test, plus 2 weeks personnel delay • 6.1.4mc.migrate release in validation • Few events, so far so good • New Oracle client: need to test

  14. Experience • We need to remove some of the burden from Lynn • Parallelize patch checking • Requires some additional time from Lynn for answering Apprentice questions • Contention for build machines complicates parallelization of release builds

  15. Notes on Operations • If all goes smoothly, 10 days per release requested • Problems have required 20 unexpected days • Illness etc not included • If 10 new releases to be supported, 30 days of Guru time, possibly 20x10 • If 10 new releases, unparallelized; not done until mid-June • Remote sites can take up some validation testing if the X.migrate release is pull-able • Pulling a build takes half a day

  16. Resources Required • Minimum of 3N days of guru time, possibly much more • Minimum of 4 N days of validation time, more if have to repeat • Less time if we can use more machines • Minimum of 14 days for running ntuple generation and PerfiDia
