Just some more random PhD whitterings
I had a meeting with my supervisor earlier. The results of that are interesting.
Currently, the analysis pipeline we have (called a pipeline because data flows from one end to the other like water through multiple stages) is a set of programs written either in C or in Python bonded by condor submission routines which are generated in turn by python scripts. Alberto wants me to remove the central bit of C code and instead of calling it once and supplying it with a template bank, he wants me to call it for each template from inside a script.
So, what does this effectively mean? Alberto wants me to rewrite the pipeline. But he wants me to do it in a very quick way.
Anyway, I'm off to look at whether or not his plan is effective.
