Recent Releases of jana2

jana2 - v2.4.3

Behavior changes

  • JHasOutputs represents variadic output names as std::vector<std::vector<std::string>>, which now allows for multiple variadic outputs with arbitrary lengths (Pull request #458)

  • Removed the never-used JEventProcessorSequential and JEventProcessorSequentialRoot. All their functionality has been backported to JEventProcessor. (Pull request #456)

  • JInspector is now launched using the parameter jana:inspect=true instead of the command-line argument --interactive, which works regardless of which executable runs JANA. (Pull request 459)

Bugfixes

  • Relax JFactory::Create cycle detector for the sake of JEventSourceEVIOpp (Pull request #461)

  • Fix JFactoryPodioT template error when using Podio LinkCollections (Pull request #462)

  • JEventUnfolder erroneously inserted outputs even though KeepChildNextParent was returned (Pull request #458)

  • JEventUnfolder supports parent events with zero children (Pull request #456)

  • JTopologyBuilder creates a chain of TapArrows so that independent JEventProcessors can be pipelined, allowing new-style JEventProcessors to have comparable performance to the old-style ones. (Pull request 456)

Features

  • Variadic inputs now support an EmptyInputPolicy, which allows components to optionally retrieve all databundles/collections for a given type and EventLevel, analogous to JEvent::GetFactoryAll(). (Pull request #454)

Usability improvements and refactoring

  • Improve the JANA tutorial and examples by creating a new paradigm, in which a toy reconstruction codebase is systematically built up piece-by-piece. Two versions exist, one using a lightweight (GlueX-style) datamodel, and the other using a Podio datamodel. Apart from the datamodel choice, the two versions are functionally identical. (Pull request #453)

  • Improve debugging by having the JANA1-style JEvent::GetSingle directly throw a JException instead of a size_t, thereby producing a full stack trace (Pull request #461)

  • Renamed JEventProcessor::Process(const JEvent&) to ProcessSequential to reduce user confusion (Note that this feature was experimental and unused up until now) (Pull request #456)

  • JTopologyBuilder::connect() wires arrows using port id instead of port index, reducing confusion while manually configuring topologies. (Pull request #456)

  • JFactoryT uses JDatabundle under the hood, as part of a deeper long-term refactoring. (Pull request #458, Issues #254, #276)

jana2 - v2.4.1

Features

This release introduces CCDB caching, significantly improving performance and reducing memory usage for applications that frequently access calibration constants. The improvements apply to all the applications using JANA2. The performance tests are mainly conducted using the monitoring_hists and beam_online plugins of halldrecon (`hdroot`).

Performance Highlights

Event Processing Rates

1000 events, 32 threads
Plugins: monitoring_hists, beam_online (Primary test case)

| Configuration | Cache ON | Cache OFF | |-----------------------------|--------------|---------------| | monitoringhists + beamonline | 19 Hz | 1.2 Hz | | beam_online only | 74.7 Hz | 1.7 Hz |

Startup Time

| Configuration | Cache ON | Cache OFF | |-----------------------------|--------------|---------------| | monitoringhists + beamonline | 17 sec | 44 sec | | beam_online only | 11 sec | 10 min (!) |

Memory Usage

Cache OFF

Cache ON

  • Run 1:
  • Run 2:

Resident Memory: 1k vs. 100k Events (Cache ON)

📄 Full Changelog: [v2.4.0 → v2.4.1]

Key Benefits

  • Significant rate improvements observed
  • Memory usage reduction
  • Faster startup times

jana2 - v2.4.2

Behavior changes

  • jana:max_inflight_events now defaults to nthreads regardless of whether nthreads was explicitly set. Previously it defaulted to 4 when nthreads was unset, and otherwise defaulted to nthreads. (Issue #443)
  • JEventSource::GetEventCount() is deprecated and replaced by GetSkippedCount(), GetEmittedEventCount(), and GetProcessedEventCount(). These behave intuitively when nskip is used. (Issue #428)

Features

  • Added jana:output_processed_event_numbers parameter to assist with debugging (Issue #425)
  • Ported janaroot plugin from JANA1
  • JFactory detects and excepts on cycles (Issue #423)
  • Improved scale test visualizations, including plotting multiple scaling tests on the same plot and supporting log scaled axes.

Bugfixes

  • Missing template argument in VariadicPodioOutput
  • JEvent was being marked as warmed up prematurely
  • JAutoactivator was being called last instead of first (Issue #440)
  • If the user attempted to run without providing a JEventSource, processing would crash with an ArithmeticException instead of a helpful error message (Issue #437)
  • JEventSource::FinishEvent() was being called spuriously (Issue #424)

Refactoring

  • Preliminary support for random-access JEventSources is provided via JEventSource::Skip(). This feature should be considered experimental for now because it doesn't work with barrier events yet. (Issue #422)

Behavior changes:

  • JANA now has one internal logger, configurable via the jana:loglevel parameter. External loggers are now configurable via the jana:global_loglevel parameter.

  • JPluginLoader now stops when a plugin fails to load, rather than continuing searching for another plugin with the same name.
  • JPluginLoader no longer accepts paths as part of a valid plugin name
  • JFactorySet is no longer silent when the user attempts to include duplicates of the same factory (#343)
  • JMetadata is deprecated, to be replaced with JMultifactory. (#345)
  • All JFactories now call JEventSource::GetObjects, not just JGetObjectsFactory. (#361)

jana2 - v2.3.1

Bugfix: janadot produces nearly empty output files

This release fixes a bug which caused janadot plugin to stop producing output. It also drops support for Podio <= 00-17 by replacing the user-provided PodioTypeMap with the builtin PodioT::collection_type.

  • Code deduplication: jana_config.h fully replaced by JVersion.h: #313
  • Dead code removal: JSubeventMailbox: #304
  • All library code uses #pragma once instead of header guards: #308

jana2 - v2.1.0

JANA2 v2.1.0

Summary

This release adds support for factories with multiple outputs ("Multifactories") and improves the experimental PODIO integration first introduced in v2.0.9. The show-stopping double-free on exit bug present in v2.0.9 has been fixed. The BlockExample has received a number of bug fixes, and custom topologies can now use components that are loaded from plugins. The janacontrol plugin has gained a feature to sample and inspect processed events without pausing the event stream, along with some bug fixes. The RPATHs have been reconfigured so that we need to set the LDLIBRARYPATH less often. The vendorized pybind11 is upgraded to version 2.10.3.

Important

  • JANA2 requires the C++17 language standard or higher.
  • JANA2 requires PODIO v0.16.3 or higher.
