2. NSS05 Rene BrunOverview of the ROOT system2 The ROOT Project see http://root.cern.ch The ROOT system provides a set of OO frameworks with all the functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts of data in a very efficient way. Having the data defined as a set of objects, specialized storage methods are used to get direct access to the separate attributes of the selected objects, without having to touch the bulk of the data. Included are histograming methods in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions, curve fitting, function evaluation, minimization, graphics and visualization classes to allow the easy setup of an analysis system that can query and process the data interactively or in batch mode. Thanks to the builtin CINT C++ interpreter the command language, the scripting, or macro, language and the programming language are all C++. The interpreter allows for fast prototyping of the macros since it removes the time consuming compile/link cycle. The interactively developed macros can be compiled using a C++ compiler. A Python interface is also available. The system has been designed in such a way that it can query its databases in parallel on MPP machines or on clusters of high-end PC's. ROOT is an open system that can be dynamically extended by linking external libraries. This makes ROOT a premier platform on which to build data acquisition, simulation and data analysis systems.

6. NSS05 Rene BrunOverview of the ROOT system6 BASE work-package : Plan plug-in manager extensions port to new platforms I/O thread safe New THtml & Help/Doc system

7. NSS05 Rene BrunOverview of the ROOT system7 DICT work-package : Plan New version of Reflex New version of rootcint rootcint  CINT rootcint -> Reflex ->Cintex ->CINT rootcint ->gccxml -> Reflex -> CINT Adapt PyRoot to Reflex Adapt CINT to Reflex The Dictionary/Reflexion system describes the classes to the system. It is a very important component.

20. NSS05 Rene BrunOverview of the ROOT system20 PROOF: major development area The PROOF system allows:  parallel analysis of trees in a set of files  parallel analysis of objects in a set of files  parallel execution of scripts on clusters of heterogeneous machines Its main design goals are:  Transparency: input objects copied from client, output objects merged, returned to client  Scalability and Adaptability: Varying packet size (depends on number of workers and their relative performance)

21. NSS05 Rene BrunOverview of the ROOT system21 PROOF work-package : Plan Build a test bed Get Users (help with selectors) Interfaces with data management services Provide the full ROOT service in PROOF mode exploit possible large memory caches good connection ? VERY important less important

25. NSS05 Rene BrunOverview of the ROOT system25 PROOF and XROOTD XROOTD (from Babar) is already playing a very important role in PROOF. It will continue to play a growing role. The PROOF and XROOTD teams are cooperating to get even more from XROOTD: caching, read ahead, new XROOTD services. Still a lot to do to have a good integration of XROOTD with other services like CASTOR.
