34

General status• Need to freeze v4-19-Release for the coming PbPb collisions

• Outstanding issues: low success rate (95% in pp, ~50% in cent1 PbPb)

– Memory consumption

– CPU consumption

– Reconstruction of RAW data with many PbPb events: not tested

– Several commits still needed, see the requests on the next page

• Proposed solution

– Run MC for 1000 central PbPb with every new tag (already done, see LHC10f8*). Store all files; store also everything from the failing jobs

– Run QA macros on the successfully produced events

– Discuss the results at QA and FHIP meetings and fix the issues

• Important condition

– Participation of the FHIP members in the weekly offline meeting

35

Coverity

• Good response in general

• Still adding new defects while fixing the old ones
