VBF+MET+Photon MadGraph generation

Asked by Diallo BOYE

Hello,

I am trying to update an old JO that can be found here: https://gitlab.cern.ch/atlas physics/pmg/infrastructure/mc15joboptions/-/blob/master/common/MadGraph/MadGraph_NNPDF30_HInv_NLO.py
The updated JO and log file can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fS47uE4hYhKu0EgZW8jQ1foEGWSIgCxk?usp=sharing

Could you advise please how to fix the errors reported in the log file?
Thanks

Best,

Diallo.

Hi there,

Just to offer a bit more back-story: this is a job in MG5_aMC 3.4.2. The process is loop-induced:

generate p p > h a j j [QCD]

The error message here is a timeout:

  File "/cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/sw/software/23.6/sw/lcg/releases/LCG_102b_ATLAS_13/MCGenerators/madgraph5amc/3.4.2.atlas1/x86_64-centos7-gcc11-opt/madgraph/interface/common_run_interface.py", line 4714, in get_lhapdf_version_static
    subprocess.Popen([lhapdf_config, '--version'],
  File "/cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/sw/software/23.6/sw/lcg/releases/LCG_102b_ATLAS_13/MCGenerators/madgraph5amc/3.4.2.atlas1/x86_64-centos7-gcc11-opt/madgraph/interface/common_run_interface.py", line 6695, in handle_alarm
    raise TimeOutError
madgraph.interface.common_run_interface.AskforEditCard.update_dependent.<locals>.TimeOutError

which looks like LHAPDF should just be given a bit more time before declaring it dead, because for some reason on some systems it's taking a while for that lhapdf_config command to return. The full ME5_debug file is pasted below for convenience.

Cheers,
Zach

Looks like your version of lhapdf is too slow to provide back information like version number/... and make the code to crash.

Might be a temporary problem of your cluster (even if we can probably secure more that part of the code) which has a problem on the filesystem (or something like that)
So my advice is to just retry.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Zach,

I can actually provide a patch obviously as well (I will secure this part anyway)

Thanks Olivier! It's a pretty new LHAPDF version, and I suspect it's just a high cvmfs load. It'd be great if this could be given a little extra time before timing out.

Best,
Zach
