This plot

This plot visualizes the monthly statistics of executed detector ABs ('det.ABs'):
- number of all successfully processed ABs
(before XXLight: successful CAL+SCI; with XXLight: successful CAL only),
- total execution time for ABs in hours (pipeline processing),
- total QC report execution time in hours.

The label 'muc' marks the begin of dfos operations on the muc machines in 2013-04, with a significant gain in compute performance and corresponding drop of execution times.

We have added metrics for IDPs to plots #1, #3 and #4. The peaks refer to the (re)processing of the entire historical batch.

The det.AB number refers to jobs per detector and is higher by a factor MEF_FACTOR than the actual number of ABs as counted in the QC system and displayed in the AB certification plot. For reference, MEF_FACTOR=4 for CRIRES and HAWKI; 16 for VIRCAM; 32 for OCAM; 3 for KMOS; 24 for MUSE. This number measures the compute workload.

The numbers for AB_texec and QC_texec are the sum of execution times for all processed ABs (including the failed ones), without further correction for MEF_FACTOR.

Note: The latest data point in the current plot usually refers to a month which is not yet finished. Its value will therefore continue to increase until a new last month starts.  


General information

Click on any of the plots to see a close-up version.

The latest date is indicated on top of the plot.

If configured,

  • data points belonging to the latest date are specially marked
  • statistical averages are indicated by a solid line, and thresholds by broken lines
  • outliers are marked by a red asterisk. They are defined as data points outside the threshold lines
  • "aliens" (= data points outside the plot Y limits) are marked by a red arrow ( or )
  • you can download the data for each parameter set if the 'Data downloads' link shows up
