Jan:

- trip to KIT was ideal to get all information to proceed with PROPOSAL integration

- work right now focused on PROPOSAL-related updates to get ready

- Consider detailed work during the upcoming CORSIKA week

 

Augusto:

- presentation on logging system, see slides

- Logging is not debugging

- slide 6 shows how it can still help for debugging

- Question: memory chacheing: speed and e.g. ordering in time

- Licenses

- boost can be used if it provides the solution

- is a "server" useful? Or are line-fed files sufficient? In any case, SINKS will handle this

- there is a connection to exception handling

- history of the shower is very important, need snapshots for later "debugging", this is in particular multi-threading

 

Extended discussion on those topics with Hans, Anatoli and Lukas.
