A coordinate effort was needed to have a running software in a short time !
2 possible approaches :
1 Try to produce the
results using all the programs that we already have
Don't make any general integration having in mind that some work will be lost
Postpone the creation of the “true” Software environment
22 Create a Software
Architecture ASAP Push on the integration
of the different software modules
Stop the development with the already used programs
![Page 15: Maria Gabriella Catanesi ( INFN Bari Italy) 11th ICATPP Conference Villa Olmo, Como (Italy) 5-9 October 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f4e5503460f94c6f7b2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Choice 1 pro & con
Pro No time spent working in the Organization Matter No formalisms and defined rules and discipline Concentration of the efforts only on the primary
scope
Con A (large) fraction of the work will be not usable in the
future Possible errors due to lack in communications
between different programs Possible interferences and conflicts at the integration
time
![Page 16: Maria Gabriella Catanesi ( INFN Bari Italy) 11th ICATPP Conference Villa Olmo, Como (Italy) 5-9 October 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f4e5503460f94c6f7b2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Choice 2 pro & con
Pro A (large) fraction of the work will be usable in the future Optimize the resources and minimize the problems at the
integration time Allows a coherent effort and minimize conflicts
Con Time spent working in the Organization Matter formalisms and defined rules and discipline are a must and
a consensus on this point is mandatory Need (sometime) specialized manpower
![Page 17: Maria Gabriella Catanesi ( INFN Bari Italy) 11th ICATPP Conference Villa Olmo, Como (Italy) 5-9 October 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f4e5503460f94c6f7b2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Software: The HARP StrategySoftware: The HARP Strategy
Harp was approved in the February 2000 and the data taking
was started in summer 2001
To optimize quality , developing time and human resources
we decided to use software engineering tools and in particular
to realize an Architectural Design
This choice was successfully and we build a first running
version of the full chain of our software in few months from
June to October 2001
![Page 18: Maria Gabriella Catanesi ( INFN Bari Italy) 11th ICATPP Conference Villa Olmo, Como (Italy) 5-9 October 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f4e5503460f94c6f7b2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
But what this practically means ?But what this practically means ?Use a well tested method to follow the software development from the very early stage (Project and Managements Plans, User and software Requirements) until the final product tests (Test plan and release procedure)
The starting point should be always the Software Project Management Plan that describes
1. The objectives to be reached by the program and the organization of the work
2. The task and responsibilities 3. The schedule4. The strategy to minimize risks
![Page 19: Maria Gabriella Catanesi ( INFN Bari Italy) 11th ICATPP Conference Villa Olmo, Como (Italy) 5-9 October 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f4e5503460f94c6f7b2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1. the objectives to be reached by the program and the organization of the work
User Requirements : define the functionality that the software must have for reach the results
Example:UR-4: The user shall be able to describe the detector
geometry consistently, though allowing different representations, for different applications.

SR-1: The software shall run on PCs with Linux operating system. Type: constraint Priority: essential Status: implemented
SR-2: The software shall have been developed in C/C++ programming language (at least for the collaboration-wide software). Type: constraint Priority: essential Status: implemented
The Software Requirements derive from the User Requirements and from strategic decisions taken in the collaboration.

What is a Architectural Design ?
The Architecture of a software is realized determining the components (domain decomposition) and the set of dependency relations between the identified elementsEach component is an independent unit of source code and librariesThe connection between the different domains defines the dependences and produces the time sequence for the test and release of the official code Software managment is part of the process
A correct decomposition allows a parallel development of the different peaces of code and the resource optimization Big effort during the summer
2000
![Page 22: Maria Gabriella Catanesi ( INFN Bari Italy) 11th ICATPP Conference Villa Olmo, Como (Italy) 5-9 October 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f4e5503460f94c6f7b2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Task and responsibilities:
In general is convenient to match the responsibility assignment to the results of the domain decomposition
In this way will be no ambiguity left between the subcomponents
The share of the work is easier and maximize the parallel development reducing conflicts and/or interferences
Unit test , System test and release procedure were defined and implemented
Software verification and validation are included User and Software documention are essential parts
![Page 24: Maria Gabriella Catanesi ( INFN Bari Italy) 11th ICATPP Conference Villa Olmo, Como (Italy) 5-9 October 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f4e5503460f94c6f7b2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The schedule : The schedule was defined on the base of the
Domain dependency structure and from the definition of the testing and release procedure
For each step of the development you can define a schedule and the result of this effort should be a Software Release.
It will evolve in a new one following the same test procedures
![Page 25: Maria Gabriella Catanesi ( INFN Bari Italy) 11th ICATPP Conference Villa Olmo, Como (Italy) 5-9 October 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f4e5503460f94c6f7b2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The Software is not a static object:The development is organized as cycles For each cycle all the steps should be revised(scopes, schedules etc. etc.)
As example in HARP we have realized until now several cycles to reach different goals
1. Technical Run 20002. Start of Run 20013. SPSC presentation October 20014. Large Angle Analysis may 20025. Mock Data Challenge6. Migration from Objectivity to Oracle (2003)7. ….8. Full Data and MC Production v7r8

Persistency
ObjyHarp HARP persistent event model. It is based on ObjectivityDB database, and mirrors the transient event model.ObjectCnv unpacking of the raw data and the construction of the transient C++ objects used by the physics applications. It can use transparently both online data and stored offline data, as well as MonteCarlo output.
ObjyPersistency is the component implementing the adapter to use the Objectivity or Oracle databases, while allowing the physics applications not to depend at compile time on the I/O solution.
In 2003 (following a CERN decision) HARP migrated its data to Oracle, thus an equivalent component implementing HARP persistent event model in Oracle exists. The transition was transparent for the other users/developers
![Page 31: Maria Gabriella Catanesi ( INFN Bari Italy) 11th ICATPP Conference Villa Olmo, Como (Italy) 5-9 October 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649f4e5503460f94c6f7b2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
iDSTmySQL is the component implementing the DST concept for distribution in the collaboration. It contains the persistent-capable physics objects (including reconstruction, simulation, geometry, and event model objects). It supports both a neutral file format and Linux mySQL.
The entire software chain can be rerun on the data produced/retrieved in iDSTmySQL without needing to access the Cern mass storage system (CASTOR) and central data-bases (Objectivity, Oracle).
This allows full distribution of the analysis work in the HARP institutes.

Performances
All HARP data (with few exceptions) were successfully reconstructed and analyzed (~ 50 TByte including calibration data)
The same software release (v7r8) was uses without bug fixing to process all data
A factor (5-10) larger of corresponding MC events have been also produced
Productions
HARP data are reconstructed in production at a rate varying from 0.3 sec/evt/GHz (large angle) to 2.1 sec/evt/GHz (all forward detectors)
HARP data are simulated in production at a rate of 1.7 sec/evt/GHz for both large angle and forward detectors simulation.
These rates allow in all cases more than one million events per day per 10 GHz(i.e. 3 standard processors clocked at 3 GHz).

ConclusionsThe HARP experiment was build in a very short time
To cope with this aggresive schedule we decide to choose
for the Software to use software engineering tools and in
particular to realize an Architectural Design
This choice was successfully and we build a first running
version of the full chain of our software in few months
from June to October 2001
A (large) fraction of the work was easily reused in
other applications
