<p>David sent around <a rel="nofollow" class="external
text"
href="https://mailman.jlab.org/pipermail/halld-offline/2019-April/003596.html">an
email</a> asking about interest in having the lab be a
satellite site for an HPC Summer Boot Camp that teaches
fundamentals in parallel programming to be held June
3-6. If you have an opinion, please contact David by
April 17.

<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="Review_of_minutes_from_the_March_5_meeting">Review
of minutes from the March 5 meeting</span></h3>
<p>We went over <a
href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/GlueX_Software_Meeting,_March_5,_2019#Minutes"
title="GlueX Software Meeting, March 5, 2019">the
minutes</a>.
</p>
<ul>
<li> David reported that Batch 3 of the reconstruction
of Spring 2018 data is complete. Batch 4 was submitted
to NERSC earlier today.</li>
<li> David, Alex, Curtis Meyer, and Amber Boehnlein
submitted a proposal to the Pittsburgh Super Computer
Center for enough time to do a single reconstruction
pass on the Fall 2018 data (7.65 SU's). Requests take
about two weeks to be evaluated.</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="Report_from_the_last_HDGeant4_Meeting">Report from
the last HDGeant4 Meeting</span></h3>
<p>We went over <a
href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/HDGeant4_Meeting,_April_9,_2019#Minutes"
title="HDGeant4 Meeting, April 9, 2019">the minutes
from the meeting on April 9</a>. We though that Peter
might want to pick a few items from his comparisons
between G3 and G4 and post them as issues on the
HDGeant4 page on GitHub.
</p>
<p>Naomi brought up a couple of separate issues with
HDGeant4:
</p>
<ol>
<li> The number of events to be generated can be
specified in the macro that starts the job or in the
control.in file. We don't which is controlling. David
mentioned that he has requested that it be
specify-able in control.in to maintain symmetry
between hdgeant and HDGeant4. We again suggested that
this was an appropriate issue for the HDGeant4 GitHub
site.</li>
<li> The "-r" switch for setting the run number does not
work.</li>
</ol>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="IT_Reorganization">IT
Reorganization</span></h3>
<p>Mark described <a rel="nofollow" class="external text"
href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fisDoDdU4NBPlNipi_2xDkMGxhixowtcjxfe95ZlfIw">recent
personnel changes</a> in IT Division.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="PrimEx_branches_in_HDDS">PrimEx
branches in HDDS</span></h3>
<p>There is a new system for maintaining alternate
geometries in the Git repository. Richard and Sasha
described it in <a rel="nofollow" class="external text"
href="https://mailman.jlab.org/pipermail/halld-offline/2019-April/003598.html">a
recent email exchange</a>. Recall that the geometry
for reconstruction should be coming from the CCDB and
not the Git repository. The versions in the repository
are only for developing new geometry configurations. In
the repository it is important that distinct geometries
be kept on separate branches. "Merging to the master
branch" is a disaster in this case.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="Review_of_recent_issues_and_pull_requests">Review
of recent issues and pull requests</span></h3>
<p>We reviewed issues for halld_recon and halld_sim. We
discussed how to prioritize work on the various issues.
In real time, Sean assigned <a rel="nofollow"
class="external text"
href="https://github.com/JeffersonLab/halld_recon/issues">color-coded
labels</a> to all of the extant halld_recon issues. <a
rel="nofollow" class="external text"
href="https://github.com/JeffersonLab/halld_recon/issues/71">Issue
#71, Crash in ST matching</a> is marked as the highest
priority issue, as we agreed.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="General_Documentation_in_Need_of_Update">General
Documentation in Need of Update</span></h3>
<p>Hovanes remarked that the general documentation for the
GlueX software on the wiki page is inconsistent and out
of date. No one disputed his statement.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="CCDB_Development">CCDB
Development</span></h3>
<p>Sean and Mark will meet with Dmitry to plan work to
address the issues reported with CCDB.
