  1. OS X within ParticlePhysics Sabah Salih The School of Physics & Astronomy The University of Manchester Manchester M13 9PL Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk

  2. Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk

  3. OS X at a glance • OS X platform is increasing in popularity amongst developers and users on both the LHC experiments at CERN and the Tevatron at Fermilab • Familiar Unix OS, no dual-booting, robust, stable • Easy to manage Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk

  4. Open source and Commercial applications used by Particle Physicists 1- AFS 2- Mathematica 3- GNU compilers: gcc 3.3 (3.1 - 2.95.6 as options), others available (g77 3.4 from Fink, g95 available) 5- Ichat 8-Major language C, C++, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Java, Perl, Tcl, PHP, Python & Ruby 7- RPM http://www-jlc.kek.jp/~fujiik/macosx/10.3.X/memo/RPMonX.html Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk

  5. AFS Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk

  6. Other general scientific software xmgrace (Graph plotting program) Latex and Lyx Fugu (sftp/scp client with graphical interface) Emacs both native to Aqua (the Mac windowing system) and X11 ImageMagick (not really physics, but useful for converting diagrams between .ps and .jpg etc) Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk

  7. HEP Software: 1- General a- CERN Library b- Root d- Geant4 e- LHAPDF “Les Houches Accord Parton Density Function” f- Hdcay g- Pythia h- ktjet (Code by Manchester) i- ExHuME (Monte Carlo Generator Code by Manchester) j-CPX+ (CPX SUSY code by Manchester) k-pomwig (Monte Carlo Generator Code by Manchester) l- HERWIG 2- Experiment specific See next page Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk

  8. OS X and the experiments • LHC experiments and LCG show recent • development activities on OS X • Little effort by single individuals (even on • spare time) • ALICE: the whole offline software runs on • OS X CMS: Iguana, Orca, initial port of external libraries • ATLAS: CMT, Atlantis, Atlas distribution kit (based on CMT & • Pacman), single packages of the Athena framework • LHCb: Gaudi, Panoramix, Da Vinci • LCG: SEAL, PI, externals libraries on Xserve Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk

  9. CLHEP, CERNLIB On Fink - (OpenSource) http://fink.sourceforge.net Geant4 From SLAC and on Fink http://geant4.slac.stanford.edu/g4cd/July2004/Documentation/ WorkshopExercises/Prerequisities/MacOSX.html ROOT From ROOT (since long time) and on Fink Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk

  10. Geant4 simulation toolkit • Used to simulate particle interactions through matter • Written in C++ • Software ported and tested on MacOS 10.3 with gcc 3.3 compiler –First-level porting for shared libraries in the last release 6.2 of the toolkit • Binary libraries distributed on CD (created and maintained by SLAC Geant4 developers) –Libraries also available on FINK (maintained by user community) • Fairly large (and growing) user community • The platform will become soon officially supported Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk
