Proliferation of SDDS Support for Various Platforms and Languages
Since Self-Describing Data Sets (SDDS) were first introduced, the source code
has been ported to many different operating systems and various languages. SDDS
is now available in C, Tcl, Java, Fortran, and Python. All of these versions
are supported on Solaris, Linux, and Windows. The C version of SDDS is also
supported on VxWorks. With the recent addition of the Java port, SDDS can now
be deployed on virtually any operating system. Due to this proliferation, SDDS
files serve to link not only a collection of C programs, but programs and
scripts in many languages on different operating systems. The platform
independent binary feature of SDDS also facilitates portability among operating
systems. This paper presents an overview of various benefits of SDDS platform
interoperability.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, submitted to ICALEPCS 200
Ground Systems Development Environment (GSDE) interface requirements and prototyping plan
This report describes the data collection and requirements analysis effort of the Ground System Development Environment (GSDE) Interface Requirements study. It identifies potential problems in the interfaces among applications and processors in the heterogeneous systems that comprises the GSDE. It describes possible strategies for addressing those problems. It also identifies areas for further research and prototyping to demonstrate the capabilities and feasibility of those strategies and defines a plan for building the necessary software prototypes
Open-source development experiences in scientific software: the HANDE quantum Monte Carlo project
The HANDE quantum Monte Carlo project offers accessible stochastic algorithms
for general use for scientists in the field of quantum chemistry. HANDE is an
ambitious and general high-performance code developed by a
geographically-dispersed team with a variety of backgrounds in computational
science. In the course of preparing a public, open-source release, we have
taken this opportunity to step back and look at what we have done and what we
hope to do in the future. We pay particular attention to development processes,
the approach taken to train students joining the project, and how a flat
hierarchical structure aids communicationComment: 6 pages. Submission to WSSSPE
