Minutes from LArSoft coordination meeting on March 13, 2018

Present	Vito Di Benedetto, Lynn Garren, Krzysztof Genser, Robert Hatcher, Thomas Junk, Kyle Knoepfel, Guilherme Lima, Gianluca Petrillo
Remote	Erin Conley, Aaron Higuera, Katherine Lato, Saba Sehrish, Gleb Sinev

reminder: OSX distribution is not fully supported, and it won't be until we can build it with Clang (c2 qualifier)
also reminder: forward compatibility (using an old art version to read a file produced by a newer art version) is not supported
- [Thomas Junk] shouldn't an exception be thrown when such an attempt is made? [Lynn Garren] there was some discussion among art stakeholders about that...

still needed sign off for new version of GENIE (2.12.10) by some of LArSoft stakeholders

we have proposed a migration plan to deploy future software into /cvmfs/larsoft.opensciencegrid.org
this will eventually replace /grid/fermiapp/products/larsoft too
we will proceed cautiously
- Jenkins build node issues have to be addressed before we can fully turn to the new area for everything
- things will not be removed from the common Fermilab area
- [Gianluca Petrillo] will things like sam_web_client be also in the new area? [A] Only LArSoft-distributed UPS products will be in the new area; the common Fermilab area will still be needed for the rest

be aware of this, start testing the new area, and make any issues official, either via Redmine issue or e-mail to larsoft-team@fnal.gov

looking for a target simple enough to be dealt with, heavy enough that the optimisation can improve it, and popular enough that users can actually benefit from this work
considered detector digitisation
- the Fastest Fourier Transform in the West library, which takes a good deal of the processing time, might be already optimised though, and anyway we don't have control of its source
now considering Projection Matching Algorithm

Postponed.
