Hello,
When I worked in multi_run mode(bin/madevent), it cann't work well. Delphes.lhco file will have 0 events. Pythia seems to work well.
But if i work in single run mode (bin/generate_
I don't know why.
Cheers,
Karo

Hi Karo,
Weird, those are the same routines which are used in both case.
Did you look at the pythia/pgs log to see why they fail to run correctly?
Cheers,
Olivier

Hi Olivier,
The pythia log is correct. But there are error in delphes log.

Ok then this is linked to a problem with the pythia output which can't be generated if the size of the file is larger than 4Gb.
How many events did you have in the lhe event file?
Cheers,
Olivier

multi_run 2
every run is 50000.
I think the all events should be 10,0000

That number of events usually go through.
Pavel do you have an idea about that?
Karo what is the size of the hep file produce by pyhtia?

The size of the hep file is about 4.6 Gb.
The same number of events for other physical process not ttbar(lvqqbb,

Hi,
There is already a bug open for a similar problem:
STDHEP files larger than 4GB are corrupted
https:/
This problem has been known since many years and it was always suggested to produce less than 40-50k events per STDHEP file.

I've just looked at the the mcfio/stdhep code from the pythia-pgs package.
My conclusion is that the mcfio/stdhep library used by the pythia-

Hi,
I have read that bug report.
I hope it would be solved in the future. Because in many studies it really needs more than 40-50k events.

Hi Karo,
Yes but in many studies, you can import more than one input files. So this is not a big trouble.
Cheers,
Olivier

Hi Karo,
I've replaced xdr_getpos/
Hopefully, this fix will be available in on of the future MadGraph releases.
Meanwhile, here is how the fixed mcfio files can be installed
# install pythia-pgs if it's not already installed
./bin/mg5
install pythia-pgs
quit
# install new mcfio files
cd pythia-
wget http://
tar -vzxf pythia-
cd -
# rebuild pythia-pgs
cd pythia-pgs
make clean
cd libraries/pylib
make
cd ../..
make
cd ..
# back to MG5
./bin/mg5

Hello,
Pavel, I will try what you said. Thank you very much.
Olivier, If I wanna more than one hundred thousand events, I must run MG5/Pythia/Delphes many times. That's what I do, again and again. Is there other automatic way to do that ?
Cheers,
Karo

Yes they are the multi_run options:
If you run the generation with the mg5 interface
launch [PATH]
you can instead do
launch [PATH] -i
then type:
multi_run X
where X is the number of run that you want
If instead you do
./bin/generate_
you can do
./bin/madevent
multi_run X [OPTIONS]
or even
./bin/madevent multi_run X [OPTIONS]

Olivier

Hi Olivier,
The events number is also limited even though it works in multi_run mode. Because this process would produce large pythia.hep file. If this file is more than 4Gb, the above problem will appear.
If there is no better way, maybe we can try the method from Pavel.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Karo

Hi Karo,
The multi_run will produce
1) one lhe file for the full sample (and X separate files as well for each run)
2) and produce X files for pythia/ reconstruction level output (i.e. not full sample)
So this should be fine.

This is done.
just do "install pythia-pgs "
and you should have the version patched by Pavel.
Cheers,
Olivier

sorry to come again on this, I just installed a fresh MG framework and the issue appears again but not in every 50k run. So something is still failing with the patch. I'll reduce my events per run it seems safe until some solution is available. cheers

it happens again yet I have simulated 20k events. It depends on my SUSY
parameterization actualy two of them (very different) because I had tested
at least 3 of them w/o any problem.
the generation process is a p p > t1 t1~ going to dileptons and n1 final
states. It seems to be a pythia problem this is awkward
