21 * \class AliHLTGlobalTriggerComponent
22 * This class applies the global HLT trigger to all trigger information produced
23 * by components deriving from AliHLTTrigger.
24 * Any information delivered by other components in data blocks that contain
25 * TObjects can also be used for the trigger algorithm. In such cases a symbol
26 * needs to be defined in the global trigger menu which can then be used inside
27 * the trigger condition expressions.
29 * <h2>General properties:</h2>
31 * Component ID: \b HLTGlobalTrigger <br>
32 * Library: \b libAliHLTTrigger.so <br>
33 * Input Data Types: ::kAliHLTAnyDataType <br>
34 * Output Data Types: kAliHLTDataTypeGlobalTrigger and kAliHLTDataTypeReadoutList <br>
36 * <h2>Mandatory arguments:</h2>
39 * <h2>Optional arguments:</h2>
40 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
41 * \li -config <i>filename</i> <br>
42 * Indicates the configuration macro file to use for the global HLT trigger menu.
43 * \li -includepath <i>path</i> <br>
44 * Indicates the include path to use if the automatically generated code that
45 * implements the global HLT trigger requires non-standard includes.
46 * \li -include <i>filename</i> <br>
47 * Indicates a file name that should be included in the automatically generated
48 * trigger implementation code.
50 * If specified the automatically generated class will contain extra debugging
51 * code and the ACLiC system will have debugging compilation turned on.
53 * Use CINT to interprete the generated global trigger instead of compiling it.
54 * This will also be the case if no compiler is available.
55 * \li -usecode <i>filename</i> <i>classname</i> <br>
56 * Used to force the component to use an existing class for the global HLT trigger
57 * class implementation, with the name of <i>classname</i> and found in the file
60 * Indicates that the CTP data should not be added to the global HLT trigger decision.
61 * \li -forward-input <br>
62 * Forward the input objects instead of adding them to the global HLT trigger decision.
63 * This will also add a short info on the input objects and decisions, like
64 * -include-input=short, to switch off -include-input=none can be placed after the
66 * \li -include-input[=none,short,objects,both] <br>
67 * Steer adding of input objects to the global HLT trigger decision.
68 * Options: none - include nothing, short - include a short TNames array,
69 * objects - include objects, by default on
70 * both - include both objects and short info
71 * \li -process-all-events <br>
72 * Indicates that all events should be processed with the global trigger logic and
73 * not just the data events. The default is not to process just the data events.
75 * <h2>Configuration:</h2>
76 * Configured from CDB but can be overridden with the -config argument.
78 * <h2>Default CDB entries:</h2>
79 * HLT/ConfigHLT/HLTGlobalTrigger - Contains the global trigger menu.
81 * <h2>Performance:</h2>
82 * This is a linear function of the number of input triggers (AliHLTTrigger) that
83 * need to be processed.
84 * For a modest trigger menu configurations the processing time per event should
85 * be on the order of a few milliseconds.
87 * <h2>Memory consumption:</h2>
88 * Memory consumption is minimal. It should be on the order of 2 or 3 MBytes.
90 * <h2>Output size:</h2>
91 * This will depend almost linearly on the number of intput triggers and summary
92 * data objects used. Thus, for every trigger (AliHLTTrigger object) specified
93 * in the trigger menu the output size will require about 1 kBytes.
94 * Then for every summary data object (i.e. TObject symbol defined in the trigger
95 * menu configuration) one will need an extra few kBytes, depending on the size
96 * of the summary objects.
97 * In total one would expect no more than a MByte output size for a large trigger
98 * configuration and typically only a few kBytes for a small or optimised one.
