13
October 20, 2008 13 Details of Porting DEC-Fortran Extensions VMS System API X11 / Motif GSI specific APIs Connectivity to new Java Applications
14
October 20, 2008 14 DEC Fortran77 Extensions Type definitions: STRUCTURE built-in-functions: %LOC(), %REF(), %VAL() Compiler Directives: cDEC ... Covered either by Intel Fortran Compiler or to be replaced by suitable Fortran90 constructs

16
October 20, 2008 16 VMS-System API and -Runtime Library Non POSIX System API to support event driven architectures Fortran Utility Libraries Commercial Products: inadequate implementation in detail or lacking support GSI In-house-library and Tools support Events Timer Global Section Message Compiler ...
17
October 20, 2008 17 “VMS-API” Architecture on Linux Fortran Interface: Subset of VMS’ SYS$, LIB$, STR$,.. C Library: Abstraction Layer for Events, Timer, Multiplexed I/O, IPC, SHM, Threads, Logging,... SYSV POSIX ix vx libc Subset of VMS-API implemented by an emulation library

19
October 20, 2008 19 X11 / Motif Porting Fortran-X11-Programs using VMS-Fortran-X-lib: Wrapper functions to Linux X11 Library Porting Fortran-Motif-Programs using VMS-Motif-Library: Same C-API But porting software using Motif- XtAppMainLoop()/XtAppAddInput() framework: VMS- specific feature handled in a special GSI-in-house-library
20
October 20, 2008 20 Example: Motif-Program on VMS/X11/DECwindows
21
October 20, 2008 21 Done with minor code changes Same Program on Linux/X11/KDE

23
October 20, 2008 23 GSI specific APIs Example: GSI-API for Inter Process Communication Written in Modula-2 Transfers binary data between programs VMS-Events VMS-Mailboxes Communication Server Raw Ethernet Protocol
24
October 20, 2008 24 IPC Architecture (VMS) Ethernet VMS Host 1 VMS Host 2 App2 App1 App3 Communication- Server IPC-API VMS-Mailbox App5 App4 App6 Communication- Server
25
October 20, 2008 25 IPC by TCP/IP peer-to-peer network App1App4App5App2App3 TCP/IP Linux Host 1 Linux Host 2 Registration-Service (Broker) to map Process-Name to Host/Port
26
October 20, 2008 26 IPC by TCP/IP peer-to-peer Same API Peer-to-peer network through TCP/IP sockets, addressed by host:port Registration service (name service, broker) for mapping application-name to TCP/IP host/port information

30
October 20, 2008 30 Connectivity to Java Applications Constraints : Minimal source code modification for existing Fortran Applications Flexible data structures Simple and generic interface to avoid API adaptations Solution: Universal Value Architecture (UV)
31
October 20, 2008 31 UV-Client Java UV (Universal Value Architecture) Fortran Application uv xfer TCP/IP... - Read Tree - Subscribe for Changes - Set Values File Properties: -Name -Value -Timestamp -.... UV-Server - Nodes addressed by path
32
October 20, 2008 32 Example: Browser as UV-Java Client Generic Browser: Java Application Value Tree Finds application by name service lookup
33
October 20, 2008 33 Example: Browser as UV-Java Client
34
October 20, 2008 34 UV-Java Client A Java Client can survey and modify any set of values presented by the ported VMS software Values can be handled in a single tree Tree structure can be changed at run-time
