|
Attached is the license agreement that each person should sign to be able to use XF on OSC. You can sign it, send it to Amy, and she will return
it to OSC with her signature on it. |

Mon Jul 1 13:45:49 2019, Alex Patton, Status on optimizing AraSim
|
We ran valgrind (a profiler) on AraSim to find out where it was spending most of its time, we ran it with callgrind to give an output file of the time and
opened that file with qcashegrind to display it in a legible format. This let us know that the function Param_RE_Tterm_approx was taking up about
75% of the time because it was being called hundreds of millions of times. Now more specifically the standard math functions pow() and exp() were being |

Continued the run testing the XF fixes with Alex P. We think our fixes are working, but we want to get a few more generations through. |

Met with Alex P. and Amy to think about how we can make sure the data coming from AraSim makes sense (specifically, to figure out
why we're getting effective volumes of 0 on some antennas). Amy suggested we use a function in AraSim that let's us simulate identical events so |

Spoke with Evelyn and Ryan about the paperclip antennas. They found the github repository with the files and a README so they're
getting started on learning about the algorithm and testing out the scripts. Once they play with it and can get it running they'll start running it |

to come to the meeting tomorrow at 1. |

Talked with Alex about results from a run of small antennas where we decreased the grid spacing. The average gain plots look different,
but I don't know yet if it's definitely resolved the problem because we're still getting a decent spread on the effective volumes. Helped Eliot |

Helped Alex P try to figure out how to get data Amy was asking us to get for comparing antennas in AraSim. We've been stuck
trying to figure out where all of the data is printed (there are a bunch of .cc files and quantities we aren't familiar with--for example, vmmhz in |

Worked with Alex on finding the variables Amy suggested to us in AraSim. We found the Efield and max peak voltage variables and
printed them, comparing three antennas: a small one with normal veffective (nonzero), a small on with 0 veffective, and the actual bicone. The electic |

Helped Alex P look through AraSim some more. We wanted to keep trying to nail down whether or not the threshold was passed (the files said
no before, but we wanted to try confirming by looking at the actual values). The files were big but from the values we saw none exceeded the threshold |

Worked with Alex P on looking for the problem in AraSim. We looked in Report.cc where Amy suggested there was an inequality involving
a variable called "Full_window" being compared to the trigger threshold. We followed this down to another function in Report.cc where Full_window |

Alex P and I implemented the changes we discussed with Amy to Detector.cc. We're currently running a test to see how the grid
spacing affects the gains from XF. We started with small antennas using a grid spacing of 0.01 and we're cutting down by factors of 2 each generation |

Worked with Alex to run XF with smaller grid spacing. We're down to 0.001 cm, but below that we were getting long times on the
XF GUI that made it seem like it was hanging. I also investigated XF from a Pitzer desktop to see how to use the progrid setting. I can get the scripts |

Worked with Aelx P on running the loop with decreasing grid spacing. I also worked in the XF GUI some more and figured out how to
make 3D gain plots (per Cade's suggestion) and tried comparing different grid sizes for a single antenna with proGrid on. |
