13. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli Framework Requirements Object oriented Program should deal with objects, not with single values. Modular Possibility to easy exchange calculation modules. Universal The framework should be usable by as many experiments as possible. Easy to use The user should write as less and as simple code as possible.

14. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli ROME Objects Folders Data objects in memory Tasks Calculation objects Trees Data objects saved to disc Histograms Graphical data objects Steering Parameters Framework steering Midas Banks Midas raw data objects ROME Objects : Only 6 different objects. Access methods have same naming conventions

15. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli Interconnections Folders Tasks Fill Read Trees Fill Flag Histograms Fill Disk (Output) Write (ROOT) Disk (Input) Read (any Format)

18. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli Modularity ROME is based on Tasks and Folders. Tasks are independent calculation modules. The interface to the tasks are folders. Tasks can be combined or exchanged arbitrarily, as long as the interface matches. E.g. one can execute different calibration tasks without re-linking. A1A2B1A3B2 A4  Possible even during runtime

19. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli ROME is clearly separated into an experiment independent part of the framework e.g. Event loop, IO, Database access. Works for all event based experiments an experiment dependent part of the framework e.g. Data structure, program structure Summarized in a framework definition file. Translated into c++ code by the ROMEBuilder. the calculation code Has to be filled in by the experimenter Universality Part of ROME Generated by ROMEBuilder Written by the user

20. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli The framework generation ROMEBuilder o Translation program. o Reads in a XML framework definition file and translates this information into c++ code. o Links the generated project. o Documents the generated project. o Like the MAKE command in ODBEdit ROME classes Summarization XML File ROME classes Exp. classes ROMEBuilder Executable Documentation Project ROME Environment Add calculation code

21. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli Introduction to XML Extensible Markup Language (XML) Standardized ascii format Tree structure Syntax is similar to html Ferrari Red Fiat Blue Bianchi White XSD File XML File

22. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli XML Project Definition File Folder definitions … Task definitions … Tree definitions … Steering Parameters definitions … Midas Bank definitions … Folder Classes Analyzer Class Task Classes

23. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli Folders Folder Name Field Name 1 Field Type 1 Field Name 2 Field Type 2 XML File [Field Type 1] Get[Folder Name]()->Get[Field Name 1](); void Get[Folder Name]()->Set[Field Name 1]([Field Type 1] value); Code

25. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli Easy to use User can summarize the experiment dependent part of the framework in a XML file. The XML file is then translated by the romebuilder into c++ code. The user adds only calculation code to predefined event methods of the tasks. Calculation code is ‘c-code’.

26. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli Benefit of a generated Framework Consistent Program Structure o All classes look the same o Better readability Less Handwritten Code o Code of a class is written once (in the builder) and reproduced many times Easier Maintenance o Modification are done once (in the builder) and then available in the whole framework

31. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli Monitoring ROME Objects ROME can distribute objects over a socket interface.  Any third party application can access and even modify ROME objects.  The distribution of the objects goes over the network.  Used for monitoring/displaying ROME objects  Users can display online histograms. E.g. at home.

37. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli Summary ROME is a framework generator. Only 6 different objects with up to 6 access methods. All classes are generated, only event methods have to be written. No knowledge about object oriented programming is needed. Folders and Tasks support a very clear program structure. Modularity : tasks can be easily exchanged even at runtime. Socket connection to third party applications

46. ROME vs. AliROOT

47. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 11.5.2004 / Matthias Schneebeli Comparison of AliROOT and ROME

48. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 11.5.2004 / Matthias Schneebeli ROME vs. AliROOT ROMEAliROOT Usable for MEG ?Used by the ALICE collaboration. (Maybe also others) Used for the LP. Midas Analyzer used for PiBeta. Needed modifications ?Classes have to be modified to match the data structure. Calculation code has to be rewritten. Classes holding data structure have to be generated. Calculation code has to be written. Requirements on the user ?Good knowledge of C++ and object oriented programming. Knowledge of C, no knowledge about OO- programming needed. Question

49. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 11.5.2004 / Matthias Schneebeli Modifications AliROOTFeatures Control ClassesLittle modifications.No changes. Detector Classes (Geometry, clustering, reconstruction, …) Have to be completely rewritten. Classes can only be used as templates. Data structure will be generated. Calculations have to be written. Virtual Monte CarloLittle changes.Can be added easily (ROOT feature). MonitorNeeds modifications.LP monitor. ROME’s online monitor can be used offline! Data baseNeeds modifications.No changes. ROME  Info about AliROOT form Federico Carminati (AliROOT Offline Project Leader)

50. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 11.5.2004 / Matthias Schneebeli Differences between ROME and AliROOT ROMEAliROOT Objects are classes containing calculations and data. Objects are composite items. Calculations and data are strictly separated. C D AB A1A2B1A3B2 A’ A4  Has to be relinked  Tasks have a clearly defined interface  The interfaces are automatically documented by the romebuilder  Possible even during runtime

51. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 11.5.2004 / Matthias Schneebeli Monitors AliROOT LPMonitor

52. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 11.5.2004 / Matthias Schneebeli Summary Both frameworks need about the same amount of work to adopt for MEG. The only question is, which framework is better suited for the MEG collaboration? oLittle experienced programmers can use ROME. oROME is easier to use. oROME generates a framework.

53. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 11.5.2004 / Matthias Schneebeli Comments form the ALICE Collaboration From a mail of Federico Carminati (Offline Project Leader) :  “AliRoot was not meant to be a ‘framework’ for experiments” Out of 51 modules: ElectroMagnetic calorimeter code. To be discarded  AliRoot main program, probably to be modified Methods for the production of raw data. To be modified  Analysis classes, to be modified, possibly lightly Online monitoring code. May be interesting, to be modified  Main steering classes, needs modification Display Code. Has to be modified Interface with the FLUKA MC. Can be reused Event generator interfaces. To be modified

57. Paul Scherrer Institut 5232 Villigen PSI ROME / 20.4.2005 / Matthias Schneebeli Advantages of Proposed Analysis Structure High level analysis accesses data in objects –no knowledge of cable mapping or ADC/TDC decoding necessary ADC/TDC decoding is decoupled from mapping and high level analysis –If ADC/TDC module is changed, only decoding task needs to be changed –If counter is reconnected to different ADC/TDC, only mapping task needs to be changed Data can be stored/retrieved between different tasks in ROOT format –Analyze raw data –Analyze decoded data –Analyze object data
