Abstract

The NO$$\nu$$A software (NO$$\nu$$ASoft) is written in C++, and built on the Fermilab Computing Division's art framework that uses ROOT analysis software. NO$$\nu$$ASoft makes use of more than 50 external software packages, is developed by more than 50 developers and is used by more than 100 physicists from over 30 universities and laboratories in 3 continents. The software builds are handled by Fermilab's custom version of Software Release Tools (SRT), a UNIX based software management system for large, collaborative projects that is used by several experiments at Fermilab. The system provides software version control with SVN configured in a client-server mode and is based on the code originally developed by the BaBar collaboration. In this paper, we present efforts towards distributing the NO$$\nu$$A software via the CernVM File System distributed file system. Here, we will also describe our recent work to use a CMake build system and Jenkins, the open source continuous integration system, for NOASoft.

Software management at Fermilab

Conference Harris, Robert M

We describe the structure and performance of a software management system in wide use at Fermilab. The system provides software version control with Con- current Versions System (CVS) con gured in a client-server mode. Management and building of software is provided by Software Release Tools (SoftRelTools) originally developed by the BaBar collaboration. Support for SoftRelTools, the heart of the system, is organized by the Fermilab computing division in close communication with the end users: CDF, D0, BTeV and CMS. Unix Product Support (UPS) is used to initialize environmental variables for multiple versions of software on multiple platforms. Distribution of frozenmore »« less
WxWindows Interface for CALE

Conference Amala, P ; Egner, C ; Hagelberg, J

wxWindows is an Open Source, platform independent, User Interface (UI) which has been in development for over eleven years (http://www.wxwindows.org). Currently wxWindows is actively supported for the Linux/Unix (X11, Motif and GTK+), Mac OS 9 and X, all Win32 OSes, MGL, and OS/2 operating systems. wxWindows is written in C++ using an object oriented programming framework; it is a reasonably lightweight API (called wxWidgets) sitting over the native graphics packages of the various platforms it supports. The original version of CALE was written for the basic target platform of Unix using X11 as the graphics package. There have been separatemore »« less

Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS) Bill of Materials (BOM) for FEMIS version 1.4.5

Technical Report Fangman, P M ; Gerhardstein, L H ; Homer, B J

This document describes the hardware and software required for the Federal Emergency Management Information System version 1.4.5 (FEMIS v1.4.5). The FEMIS system is designed for a single Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) site that has multiple Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). Each EOC has personal computers (PCs) that emergency planners and operations personnel use to do their jobs. These PCs are connected via a local area network (LAN) to servers that provide EOC-wide services. Each EOC is interconnected to other EOCs via a Wide Area Network (WAN). A UNIX server provides a platform to support the Oracle relational database managementmore »« less

Technical Report Snow, Dr., Joel

This final report is presented by Langston University (LU) for the project entitled "Langston University High Energy Physics" (LUHEP) under the direction of principal investigator (PI) and project director Professor Joel Snow. The project encompassed high energy physics research performed at hadron colliders. The PI is a collaborator on the DZero experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, IL, USA and the ATLAS experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland and was during the entire project period from April 1, 1999 until May 14, 2012. Both experiments seek to understand the fundamental constituents of the physical universe and the forcesmore »« less

Accessing HEP Collaboration documents using WWW and WAIS

Conference Nguyen, T D ; Buckley-Geer, E ; Ritchie, D J

WAIS stands for Wide Area Information Server. It is a distributed information retrieval system. A WAIS system has a client-server architecture which consists of clients talking to a server via a TCP/IP network using the ANSI standard Z39-50 VI protocol. A freely available version (FreeWAIS) is supported by the Clearinghouse for Networked Information Discovery and Retrieval, also known as CNIDR. FreeWAIS-sf, which is the software the authors are using at Fermilab, is an extension of FreeWAIS. FreeWAIS-sf supports all the functionalities which FreeWAIS offers as well as additional indexing and searching capabilities for structured fields. World Wide Web (WWW) wasmore »« less
