Preliminaries

NOTE: ANALYSIS BEST SUPPORTED AT UWM.

Running elsewhere reuquires dynamic Condor slots and modifcations to the gstlal_reference_psd, gstlal_inspiral and gstlal_inspiral_inj submit files. We are working to standardize this on the LDG.

• Start by making a directory where you will run the analysis, e.g.,:

    $ mkdir /home/channa/test
  

Get example makefiles tailored to your application

1. Get two makefiles to set up the analysis dag. One defines standard rules that should not need to be modified by the user, the other is use-case specific. The examples
   1. Makefile.offline_analysis_rules This makefile is required by all analysis
   2. Makefile.non_spinning_BNS: Suitable for the 2014 BNS MDC with a nonspinning bank.
   3. Makefile.spinning_BNS: Suitable for the 2014 BNS MDC with a spinning bank.
   4. Makefile.non_spinning_NSBH: Suitable for the 2014 NSBH MDC with a nonspinning bank.
   5. Makefile.spinning_NSBH: Suitable for the 2014 NSBH MDC with a spinning bank.
   6. Makefile.spinning_BBH: Suitable for the 2014 BBH MDC with a spinning bank.
2. put the Makefiles in the analysis directory you made.
3. Modify the Makefile to suit your analysis
4. run, e.g.,

    $ make -f Makefile.spinning_NSBH
   

1. Condor submit the resulting file

    $ condor_submit_dag trigger_pipe.dag
