Rene Brun (CERN/SFT)26/03/2007, 10:40The ROOT system is currently undergoing an important evolution. The aim is to provide a very small kernel, called BOOT, easy to install on all systems and very stable. Using the BOOT executable module, all the other ROOT libraries (and later on users and experiments code) will be automatically imported via the web from central source repositories. This should greatly facilitate the...Go to contribution page

Anna Kreshuk (CERN/SFT)26/03/2007, 16:00TEntryList is a class recently introduced in the Tree library. It is a nice alternative to TEventlist. The new class is designed to support a large set of event lists in a modular way. TEntryList objects can easily be combined when processing large chains of event data. The data structure is optimum for the two extreme cases of high or low selectivity.Go to contribution page

Leandro Franco (CERN/SFT)26/03/2007, 16:30Interactive analysis of remote data is always limited by the quality of the network, where the main parameters are bandwidth and latency. The former is not usually a problem but the latter will always be proportional to the distance between the client and server. The only way to deal with this issue is by minimizing the number of transactions between both sites, which is usually done by...Go to contribution page

Peter Somogyi (CERN/LHCb)27/03/2007, 09:00LHCb is one of the four major experiments under completion at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The expected data rate at the LHC is so high, that the majority of events will be rejected by the trigger system. Thus the monitoring of the trigger performance and the quality of the data in general is of crucial importance. To this end a Data Quality Monitoring project was setup. One part of this...Go to contribution page

Wim Lavrijsen (LBL/Atlas)27/03/2007, 14:00Automated Inner Loop Optimization in Python Python does not, as a rule, allow many optimizations, because there are too many things that can change dynamically. However, in a lot of ROOT analysis work (e.g. plotting, fitting, and looping over TTrees), code blocks are used in a logically immutable way and called many times. Then, optimizations normally reserved to static programming languages...Go to contribution page
