releases (Julia, Soon, Krzysztof, Guilherme A.)
Grid testing, Reproducibility tests (Alberto)
Support, Maintenance and Developments
System testing shifts
Maintain nightly testing setup (Gunter)
Release testing
General testing/debugging of problems showing up especially
during the release periods or development releases (Gabriele)
Q/A monitoring with Valgrind and Coverity (Gabriele)
Grid testing with simplified calorimeters (Alberto)
Reproducibility tests (Alberto)
Performance profiling and benchmarking
Regular profiling/benchmarking of Geant4 development and public
releases, maintenance and evolution of the profiling
infrastructure in response to the changing computing environment
(Julia, Soon, Krzysztof, Guilherme A.)
Adding of the profiling of new applications as needed and
possible (Julia, Soon)
Geant4 Performance Analysis and Optimization
(Guilherme A.)
Consulting on the use of performance tools and interpretation of
the results as well as evaluating the performance gain of
various code improvements/ideas (Canal)
Low energy physics profiling using Brachytherapy code (Kiheyon,
Kyungho)
Testing Geant4 on evolving architecture using KISTI-5 supercomputer
(Kiheyon, Kyungho)
New experimental benchmarks for the Geant4 Medical Simulation Benchmarking Group (G4MSBG)
(Bruce)
Continue to encourage the collaboration to provide more tests and
more rigorous tests (All)
