Actually the default behavior of I don't know the history, but I'd guess the default compression was deemed good enough for skims. How much do skims use disk (tape?) space compared e.g. to AOD? LZMA has a sizable computational cost (including connection to CPU efficiency), so that tradeoff would require a careful study. |

Hi @makortel |
Right, RECO uses the default as well cmssw/Configuration/EventContent/python/EventContent_cff.py Lines 184 to 187 in f841373
On the other hand, IIRC RECO has a rather limited lifetime (when produced on Tier0), whereas I'd imagine Skims to have longer lifetime. Even if I'd be in favor of "just using the default" for skims, I'm curious of any of them are stored on tape, or are they on disk only? |
As I see on the skims I use, they are on tape also, e.g. |
As clarification that compression is done by default, I think this ticket can be closed. |
It seems skim outputs does not have compression by default. This includes
cmsDriver.py step3 --conditions auto:run2_data -s RAW2DIGI,L1Reco,RECO,SKIM:EXOMONOPOLE+BPHSkim,PAT --datatier AOD,MINIAOD --eventcontent AOD,MINIAOD --data --process reRECO --scenario pp --era Run2_2018 --customise Configuration/DataProcessing/RecoTLR.customisePostEra_Run2_2018 --python MONOPOLE_cfg.py -n 500 --no_exec --filein file:root://eoscms.cern.ch//eos/cms/store/data/Run2018D/EGamma/RAW/v1/000/320/822/00000/1441432A-8997-E811-8BD0-FA163EA21B5C.root --fileout file:step3.root --nThreads 8
Comparing outputs from above cmsDriver with and without compression from Monopole:
Should the compression be default for SKIM outputs?
Should the code be manage centrally (if possible), or each skim takes care for compression config?
