O2 Production Release 11

This is the eleventh production release of PyCBC for use in LIGO's second observing run.

This release has been tested against LALSuite with the hash:

539c8700af92eb6dd00e0e91b9dbaf5bae51f004

There are no substantive changes to the search pipeline code since the 1.7.0 release. This release fixes an issue that the 1.7.0 OSG bundled version of pycbc_inspiral was not built against a build of lalsuite linked against HDF5, so it could not read the SEOBNRv4 ROM data. This was not caught in testing as the tests used SEOBNRv2 which stores the ROM data as ASCII files, not HDF5. To fix this in future, the ROM data used in the test has been switched to lalsuite-extra r11, and both the v2 and v4 SEOBNR waveforms are tested. The build test has also been extended to use the new compressed waveform bank code, although this is not yet used in production.

Details of these changes are at https://github.com/ligo-cbc/pycbc/milestone/34?closed=1

O2 Production Release 9

This is the ninth production release for O2. It is based on the 1.6.7 release and implements several changes since the previous release.

The following bug-fixes are implemented:

• #1482 improves the reporting of version information from executables and #1487 fixes the way that version information is reported in section 8 of the PyCBC results page.
• #1483 adds a default segment_definer version number (1) to the segment files written by workflow generation scripts, so that these files can be queried by the standard glue segment tools.
• #1488 adds the -p option when initializing a proxy with ligo-proxy-init to create an RFC compliant proxy needed to access frame data under CVMFS. It also removes the time restriction when generating an RFC compliant proxy from an non-RFC compliant one.
• #1475 fixes the XML files uploaded to GraceDB.

Two new features are also implemented:

• #1484 implements a --config-delete in the workflow generation scripts. This allows a section or an option to be deleted from parsed configuration files before --config-overrides are applied.
• #1470 and #1476 implement the sine-gaussian veto test in pycbc_inspiral and allow it's use in the rest of the workflow. This code change requires changes to the configuration files to implement it. These changes are merged into the 1.6.8 configuration files. To revert the all-sky coincident search to the previous 1.6.7 behavior without the sine-Gaussian veto, use the following --config-overrides options when running pycbc_make_coinc_search_workflow:

--config-overrides "fit_by_template:sngl-stat:new_snr" "coinc:ranking-statistic:phasetd_exp_fit_stat" "singles_minifollowup:ranking-statistic:newsnr" "page_snglinfo:ranking-statistic:newsnr" "plot_singles-endtime_duration_newsnr:z-var:'max(newsnr)'" "plot_singles-mtotal_effspin_newsnr:z-var:'max(newsnr)'" "plot_singles-duration_effspin_newsnr:z-var:'max(newsnr)'" "plot_singles-eta_effspin_newsnr:z-var:'max(newsnr)'" "plot_singles-mtotal_eta_newsnr:z-var:'max(newsnr)'"

and the following --config-delete options:

--config-delete "inspiral:sgchisq-snr-threshold" "inspiral:sgchisq-locations" "plot_coinc_snrchi-sg"
