v2.1.0 release of PyCBC
This is the v2.1.0 release of PyCBC.
The 2.1.x release line will be reserved for production PyCBC Live analyses throughout the first part of O4, and possibly for the entire run, depending on development activities over the next year. It should therefore only contain backports related to PyCBC Live.
Among other changes since 2.0.6, the gating-veto-windows option now applies vetoes around detchar (file) gates, as well as gates automatically generated by the search. Hence, any search result obtained from a previous release where a gating file is supplied will not be reproducible with this release.
A Docker container for this release is available from the pycbc/pycbc-el8 repository on Docker Hub and can be downloaded using the command:
docker pull pycbc/pycbc-el8:v2.1.0
On a machine with CVMFS installed, a pre-built virtual environment is available for Red Hat 8 compatible operating systems by running the command:
source /cvmfs/oasis.opensciencegrid.org/ligo/sw/pycbc/x86_64_rhel_8/virtualenv/pycbc-v2.1.0/bin/activate
A singularity container is available at /cvmfs/singularity.opensciencegrid.org/pycbc/pycbc-el8:v2.1.0
which can be started with the command:
singularity shell --home ${HOME}:/srv --pwd /srv --bind /cvmfs --contain --ipc --pid /cvmfs/singularity.opensciencegrid.org/pycbc/pycbc-el8:v2.1.0
