AmsA Software Base Working Group (SBWG)

Coordinator : Alexei Klimentov

Contents:

Task Of Software Base Working Group :

  • To propose the coherent software system design :
  • Language choice, DBASE principles, I/O issues, etc;
  • Find out about CERN plans;
  • What computers should we aim for ?

    • SBWG about languages and platforms :

  • UNIX Compaq Alpha and Linux as main online and offline platform. LINUX PC is in use for production and analysis since September 1998 ( LINUX in AMS )
  • AMS event structure will be described using C++ terms
  • C++ is proposed as a programming language for AMS
  • F77, F90 and C++ compilers will be installed on both platforms
  • Use PAW and ROOT for interactive analysis and histogram presentation
  • ORACLE and CORBA are under tests at CERN for AMS02 Production
