Abstract

In order to maximize the physics potential of the ATLAS experiment during LHC's Run 2, the reconstruction software has been updated. Flat computing budgets required a factor of three improved execution time, while the new xAOD data format forced changes in the reconstruction algorithms. Physics performance was also made better. This paper presents an overview of the improvements made to the reconstruction software during the long shutdown of the LHC.
