Repository for Commissioning studies in the BTV POG based on (custom) nanoAOD samples

Example worfkflow for ttbar is included.

Each workflow can be a separate "processor" file, creating the mapping from NanoAOD to the histograms we need. Workflow processors can be passed to the runner.py script along with the fileset these should run over. Multiple executors can be chosen (for now iterative - one by one, uproot/futures - multiprocessing and dask-slurm).

To run the example, run:

python runner.py --workflow ttcom

Example plots can be found in make_some_plots.ipynb though we might want to make that more automatic in the end.

For installing Miniconda, see also https://hackmd.io/GkiNxag0TUmHnnCiqdND1Q#Local-or-remote

wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
# Run and follow instructions on screen
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

NOTE: always make sure that conda, python, and pip point to local Miniconda installation (which conda etc.).

You can either use the default environmentbase or create a new one:

# create new environment with python 3.7, e.g. environment of name `coffea`
conda create --name coffea python=3.7
# activate environment `coffea`
conda activate coffea

Install coffea, xrootd, and more:

pip install git+https://github.com/CoffeaTeam/coffea.git #latest published release with `pip install coffea`
conda install -c conda-forge xrootd
conda install -c conda-forge ca-certificates
conda install -c conda-forge ca-policy-lcg
conda install -c conda-forge dask-jobqueue
conda install -c anaconda bokeh 
conda install -c conda-forge 'fsspec>=0.3.3'
conda install dask

See https://coffeateam.github.io/coffea/installation.html

1. On your local machine, edit .ssh/config:

Host lxplus*
  HostName lxplus7.cern.ch
  User <your-user-name>
  ForwardX11 yes
  ForwardAgent yes
  ForwardX11Trusted yes
Host *_f
  LocalForward localhost:8800 localhost:8800
  ExitOnForwardFailure yes

2. Connect to remote with ssh lxplus_f
3. Start a jupyter notebook:

jupyter notebook --ip=127.0.0.1 --port 8800 --no-browser

4. URL for notebook will be printed, copy and open in local browser

Scale out can be notoriously tricky between different sites. Coffea's integration of slurm and dask makes this quite a bit easier and for some sites the ``native'' implementation is sufficient, e.g Condor@DESY. However, some sites have certain restrictions for various reasons, in particular Condor @CERN and @FNAL.

Follow setup instructions at https://github.com/CoffeaTeam/lpcjobqueue. After starting the singularity container run with

python runner.py --wf ttcom --executor dask/lpc

Only one port is available per node, so its possible one has to try different nodes until hitting one with 8786 being open. Other than that, no additional configurations should be necessary.

python runner.py --wf ttcom --executor dask/lxplus

Coffea-casa is a JupyterHub based analysis-facility hosted at Nebraska. For more information and setup instuctions see https://coffea-casa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cc_user.html

After setting up and checking out this repository (either via the online terminal or git widget utility run with

python runner.py --wf ttcom --executor dask/casa

Authentication is handled automatically via login auth token instead of a proxy. File paths need to replace xrootd redirector with "xcache", runner.py does this automatically.

python runner.py --wf ttcom --executor dask/condor

python runner.py --wf ttcom --executor parsl/slurm
