Gaudi N-Tuples

  3. What was an N-Tuple in CERNLIB • Collection of identifiable n-dim. primitive items • LOGICAL*4, INTEGER*4, REAL*4, REAL*8 • See HBOOK • Row wise N-Tuples • REAL*4 array(SOME_DIMENSION) • Items are single numbers identified by tags • Column wise N-Tuples • Structure mapped to a common block • Items (number, array, …) are identified by tags • Allow for variable size arrays Gaudi N-Tuples

  4. What is an N-Tuple in Gaudi • Collection of N-tuple Items • Items represent primitives: bool, long, float, double • N-tuples reside in a data store • Can be accessed like any other DataObject • Data management (e.g. writing records) is done by the N-tuple service Things did not change dramatically Gaudi N-Tuples

  5. What’s the job: Wishes • Stick to architecture • We want to independent from the “back-end” storage mechanism (HBOOK, ROOT, OBJY...) • Cernlib will die • Encapsulate implementation: Interfaces or ABC • Easy to use • Items must behave like ordinary numbers • Must support basic arithmetic operations and type conversions • N-tuples should not go all into one single file • possibly, but not always • Connect several streams to the data store Gaudi N-Tuples

  6. The N-Tuple Data Store • Top Entry point /NTUPLES • Logical file names • User defined • First useable directory/MC/REC/USER • Directory structure • N-tuples • 1,2,3,4 Gaudi N-Tuples

  7. The Example • Simplified version of GaudiExample/Ntuples • Explain how to write and read a column wise N-tuple • Differences to row wise N-tuples are minor • Only record structure differs • N-tuples should be easy to use • Tell me if you think stuff is overcomplicated • I do not use them daily Gaudi N-Tuples

  8. Easy to Use… (Hopefully) • Define data itemse.g. as members of filling Algorithm • Items are based on primitives • bool, long, float, double // Items for n-tuple // _________________ // // 0 dimensional item (=number) NTuple::Item<long> m_ntrk; // 1 dimensional items (Arrays) NTuple::Array<float> m_px, m_py, m_pz; // 2 dimensional items (Matrices) NTuple::Matrix<long> m_hits; Gaudi N-Tuples

  9. Easy to Use… (Hopefully) • Book and add the items you later want to fill • Book the N-tuple NTuplePtr nt(ntupleService(),"/NTUPLES/MC/1"); if ( !nt ) { nt = ntupleService()->book("/NTUPLES/MC/1”, CLID_ColumnWiseTuple, "Hello World"); if ( nt ) { status = nt->addItem ("Ntrack", m_ntrk, 0, 5000 ); status = nt->addItem ("px", m_ntrk, m_px); // m_hits[0:m_ntrk][0:5]; numbers within [0,8] status = nt->addItem ("hit", m_ntrk, m_hits, 5, 0, 8 ); } } NTuplePtr nt(ntupleService(),"/NTUPLES/MC/1"); if ( !nt ) { nt = ntupleService()->book("/NTUPLES/MC/1”, CLID_ColumnWiseTuple, "Hello World"); } • Add items Gaudi N-Tuples

  10. Easy to Use… (Hopefully) • Fill all items and commit record • Simple calculations can be done directly using the items • Do not overrun dimensions for(m_ntrk=0; m_ntrk < numTracks; m_ntrk++) { if ( m_ntrk >= m_ntrk->range().distance() ) break; } for(m_ntrk=0; m_ntrk < numTracks; m_ntrk++) { if ( m_ntrk >= m_ntrk->range().distance() ) break; m_px[m_ntrk] = track[m_ntrk]->px(); m_hits[m_ntrk][0] = track[m_ntrk]->adcValue(0); ... m_hits[m_ntrk][4] = track[m_ntrk]->adcValue(4); } for(m_ntrk=0; m_ntrk < numTracks; m_ntrk++) { if ( m_ntrk >= m_ntrk->range().distance() ) break; m_px[m_ntrk] = track[m_ntrk]->px(); m_hits[m_ntrk][0] = track[m_ntrk]->adcValue(0); ... m_hits[m_ntrk][4] = track[m_ntrk]->adcValue(4); } // Commit record (here of a column wise N-tuple) status = ntupleService()->writeRecord("/NTUPLES/MC/1"); • Fill items • Reset values to defaults: • Is this good? • Commit record Gaudi N-Tuples

  11. Easy to Use… (Hopefully) • At the end of the job • All N-tuples will automatically be closed • The directory structure of the data store is reflected by RZ directories • Access N-tuple for reading in the same way as for writing • Don’t forget to “cd //<lun>/<dir>” in PAW Gaudi N-Tuples

  12. Easy to Use… (Hopefully) • Will open the corresponding logical file • Search for the directory • Load the N-tuple • Reading back (…or with PAW) NTuple::Item<long> ntrk; NTuple::Array<float> px, py, pz; NTupleDirPtr nt(ntupleService(), "/NTUPLES/MC/1"); if ( nt ) { } NTuple::Item<long> ntrk; NTuple::Array<float> px, py, pz; NTupleDirPtr nt(ntupleService(), "/NTUPLES/MC/1"); if ( nt ) { status = nt1->item ("Ntrack", ntrk ); status = nt1->item ("px", px); ... } NTuple::Item<long> ntrk; NTuple::Array<float> px, py, pz; NTupleDirPtr nt(ntupleService(), "/NTUPLES/MC/1"); if ( nt ) { status = nt1->item ("Ntrack", ntrk ); status = nt1->item ("px", px); ... do { float sumPx = 0; if(ntupleService()->readRecord(nt.ptr()).isSuccess()){ for ( long j = 0; j < ntrk; j++ ) sumPx += px[j]; } } while ( status.isSuccess() ); } • Assign the entries to the N tuple • Loop over records Gaudi N-Tuples

  13. Easy to Use… (Hopefully) • Configuration (using job options file) • Reading N-tuples NTupleSvc.Input = { ”MC#tuple1.hbook", ”USER#tuple2.hbook" }; // Persistency type of the N-tuple service: 6=HBOOK NTupleSvc.Type = 6; • Writing N-tuples NTupleSvc.Output = { ”MC#tuple1.hbook", ”USER#tuple2.hbook" }; // Persistency type of the N-tuple service: 6=HBOOK NTupleSvc.Type = 6; Gaudi N-Tuples

  14. Back-End: HBOOK Limitations • Limited type information • Cannot define all “C” data types • Therefor only: bool, long, unsigned long, float and double • NOT: char, short, int (+unsigned) • Does not affect disk space: HBOOK compresses internally • N-tuple name is an “integer” • “integer” translates later to HBOOK ID • Must be constant independent of booking time for kumacs • Do not mix up N-tuple IDs and Histogram Ids • There is only one PAWC common block! Gaudi N-Tuples

  15. Back-End: HBOOK Limitations • Only one index variable per item • RZ directory names are CHARACTER*8 • … and upper case ONLY • double/REAL*8 data • PAW has trouble: better don’t use • REAL*8 must be quadword aligned (64 bits) • Padding must be done by user • Not more than 1000 REAL*8 entries per N tuple • Row wise N-tuples • Type information is stored as first “event” • Start reading at the second... Gaudi N-Tuples

  16. Other Back-Ends • The Present: HBOOK • PAW is the most widely used viewer • N-tuples don’t help if they can’t be analyzed interactively • The Future (?): ROOT I/O • Will give ROOT a try as back-end • Implementation with trees/branches is straight forward • Would solve probably all the limitations of HBOOK Gaudi N-Tuples

  17. Conclusions • It is possible to define dynamic structures (N-tuples) with Gaudi • If you think the usage is too complicated, please say so! • Otherwise it will never change • Depending on the back-end, limitations invade transient side Gaudi N-Tuples
