CARF

1
CARF Utilities

• From ORCA_1 to ORCA_2
• and beyond
• Vincenzo Innocente

2
CARF enhancements in ORCA_2

• Persistency for Test-Beam Data
• Flexible Pile-up management
• No pile-up/ Only pile-up
• Standard Poisson
• Fixed number per bunch
• Heavy Ion Event
• UI prototype
• OO interface to FFREAD-like ASCII files

3
New Utility prototypes in ORCA_2

• Error Report facility (No exception yet)
• Verbosity control
• both used in CARF, less in other subsystem
• Tinterface to LHC HTL
• Interface to scripting language (Python)
• proof that ORCA can be loaded in an external
  framework
• Unix style handling of objects by name

4
New features in ORCA_2.1

• Timing Report Facility
• at scope level
• User friendly interface to LazyObservers
• RecDet SimHitLoader
• Re-engineering of Zebra-file interface
• allow single event reading
• Persistent capable SimEvent
• (re-design of SimEvent changes in interface )

5
Beyond ORCA 2

• Full persistency support of simulated and
  reconstructed objects
• common Transient/Persistent framework
• allow persistent and transient objects to coexist
  and be used by a consistent interface
• Requires a significant coding effort by the
  providers of persistent capable classes
• ensure flexibility and user-friendly interface
• effect on maintenance needs to be studied

6
Engineering issues (post ORCA_4?)

• General code clean-up (from prototype to product)
• remove inline when not necessary
• move inline body in .icc
• reduce dependencies
• control verbosity
• document interface
• document implementation
