[Ct-grid] Ganga 5.1.7 installed at NIKHEF
by Hurng-Chun Lee 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Dear ATLAS data analyzers, We observed several inconsistencies between the AMAAthena package in Athena and the AMAAthena plugin in Ganga which causes users not able to run AMAAthena through Ganga. Thanks to Max and Folkert, they are now consistent again and several bugs have been fixed in Ganga release 5.1.7 which was just released few days ago. I have installed it on NIKHEF desktops (elelxx). You can follow the tutorial: http://www.nikhef.nl/pub/experiments/atlaswiki/index.php/Using_GANGA_with_A… to try it out. Any feedback or issues can be sent to the distributed analysis help mailing list: hn-atlas-dist-analysis-help(a)cern.ch (ps. in any case, I will react on your requests but it is the formal way to ask for atlas analysis support.) On the other hand, ATLAS is going to define the data temperature (discussions on the way in Atlas Distributed Computing Operation) for data management which may results in a situation that we will only keep the AODs from the last (re)processing (i.e. the hottest data) at NL T1 (SARA or NIKHEF) and the older data will be distributed among the T2s (in Russia, Turkey, Ireland, Israel) in the Dutch cloud. Therefore, I would encourage you to try to start using Ganga for data analysis on stoomboot or on the Grid. Best regards, Hurng-Chun
