Definitions of DQM and QAData Quality Monitoring & Quality Assurance


▶ Feedback on the quality of data ▶ Online (DQM)

▶ Make sure to record high quality data▶ Identify and solve problem(s) early

▶ Offline (QA)▶ Make sure to analyze high quality data▶ Identify high quality runs

▶ Involves▶ [Online gathering of data]▶ Analysis by user-defined algorithm

▶ Production of monitoring objects such as histograms▶ Assessment of the quality of the data based on the objects

▶ Storage of monitoring data▶ Visualization (+ human assessment of quality)

B. von Haller | CWG9 DQM-QA-Visualization | 08.06.2014

CWG9 TasksGroup focusing on the data Quality Assurance, online and offline, and the visualization of its results as well as of the visualization of the data itself▶ Run 3

▶ Study how to monitor data efficiently and in plenty without interfering with the data taking

▶ Discuss QA output and results, incremental QA and procedures to formalize if the results are acceptable or not

▶ Determine the needs, and design the software, to access, visualize the results▶ Define and develop the software to visualize data, raw and reconstructed▶ Technical Design Report and prototyping

QC functionality for FLP prototype :• Get raw data or STF samples locally

or from another machine. • Process the data, produce histos

and send them to central QC infrastructure

• Check the quality of the histograms• Store histos and quality in a repository• Display the histos and their quality

O2 milestones

CWG9 schedule

▶ Q1 2017▶ FLP prototype, basic QC: data sampling, general api and framework,

some checkers, repository, basic client▶ Q1 2018

▶ Mergers (work already started)▶ Clients (including generic)▶ Automatic checkers, correlation, trending

▶ Q1 2019▶ Fully ready for cosmics

▶ Event Display ▶ Still to be exactly defined, should be ready Q1 2018 ▶ Waiting for data format▶ Work already started on converter and geometry extraction


Conclusion
