Description

When executing csphagen with parameter nthreads=1 everything seems to work fine.
When executing csphagen with parameter nthreads not set (default 0) or set to 0 or >1 an error occurs (see below!).
This looks like something does not work properly in the multithreaded case!

Can you tell me what type of PSF you are using? Best would be to have some test data since I suspect that something goes wrong with the pickling.

#2 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 5 years ago

  • Project changed from GammaLib to ctools
  • Target version deleted (1.6.0)

I am using a table psf (→ loaded as GCTAPsfTable object).

What data do you need exactly for testing? Only the psf response file(s)?

#4 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 5 years ago

  • Target version set to 1.6.0

I would need of one the PSF response files to make sure that the pickling works as expected.

#5 Updated by Specovius Andreas over 5 years ago

I just sent you one of the H.E.S.S. table psf response files via email!

Looks like the issue was that the default PSF filename extension that is used if no extension name is specified was set to "POINT SPREAD FUNCTION" instead of "PSF_2D_TABLE" in GCTAPsfTable.hpp.

In addition, the pickling of @@ does not work for a PSF table, which is likely the origin of the problem:

#7 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 5 years ago

The pickling method was only implemented for the case of a calibration database. I’ll change that.

%pythoncode {
    def __getstate__(self):
        state = (self.rspname(), self.caldb())
        return state
    def __setstate__(self, state):
        if state[0]:
            self.__init__(state[0], state[1])
        else:
            self.__init__()
}

I’m making progress on the issue. To be sure that all other IRF components can be correctly digested by GammaLib, could you please also send an effective area file and a background file? Thanks in advance.

#9 Updated by Specovius Andreas over 5 years ago

I just sent you one of the H.E.S.S. effective area and background response files via email!

#10 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 5 years ago

  • Status changed from In Progress to Pull request
  • % Done changed from 60 to 100

Thanks. I changed a bit the code so that all files are now digested correctly. I also added a pickling test.

I’m currently integrating the code.

#11 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 5 years ago

  • Status changed from Pull request to Feedback

The code is now merged into devel (changes only in GammaLib). Could you please check if csphagen now also works for nthreads!=1?

#12 Updated by Specovius Andreas over 5 years ago

For me csphagen runs now with nthreads<>1 without problems.
Good job!
