Abstract

The authors report on the software architecture, some CPU and memory issues, and the performance of the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS). Specifically, they subject each EPICS software layer to a series of tests and extract quantitative results that should be useful to system architects planning to use EPICS for control applications.

The success and the future of EPICS

Conference Clausen, M; Katoh, T

During the past 5 years, the control system software toolkit EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) has developed from a small code co-development effort between LANL and ANL into an international collaboration on real-time distributed control system (for an accelerator facility, etc.). The wide application of this set of tools is the result of a combination of high performance, scaleable distributed control, and well defined open interfaces between system layers that encourage users to add extensions. These extensions can subsequently be reused by others, adding to the utility of the tools. This paper describes the architectural features that havemore »« less

Program Document

This is the first of a series of monthly reports summarizing the status of the work of the National Accelerator Laboratory. This first report will cover developments since the publication of the Design Report in January. Authorization hearings were held before the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy on February 21, 1968. Dr. Wilson described the plans and designs of the Laboratory. The present plan of the Laboratory is that the Village of Weston will be utilized for office, laboratory, and shop space during construction. The Laboratory business office is already occupying several houses. The linac section is occupying three housesmore »« less

Data Locality Enhancement of Dynamic Simulations for Exascale Computing (Final Report)

Technical Report Shen, Xipeng

The development of modern processors exhibits two trends that complicate the optimizations of modern software. The first is the increasing sensitivity of processors' throughput to irregularities in computation. With more processors produced through a massive integration of simple cores, future systems will increasingly favor regular data-level parallel computations, but deviate from the needs of applications with complex patterns. Some evidences are already shown on Graphic Processing Units (GPU): Irregular data accesses (e.g., indirect references A[D[i]]) and conditional branches are limiting many GPU applications' performance at a level an order of magnitude lower than the peak of GPU. The second hardwaremore »« less

EPICS tools enhancements and transportability

Conference Bickley, M; Chen, J; Larrieu, C

The Jefferson Laboratory electron accelerator is controlled by the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS), which was initially developed by the Los Alamos and Argonne National Laboratories, and which has since become an extensive collaboration among scientific institutions worldwide. In keeping with the spirit of cooperation and exchange fostered by the EPICS community, the Controls Software group at Jefferson Laboratory aims to produce portable software tools useful not only locally, but also at any EPICS site, and even at non-EPICS sites where feasible. To achieve this goal, the group practices several software engineering principles which have demonstrated success inmore »« less
