Description
The Panda experiment at the future facility FAIR will provide valuable data for our
present understanding of the strong interaction. In preparation for the experiments,
large-scale simulations for design and feasibility studies are performed exploiting a new
software framework, Fair/PandaROOT, which is based on ROOT and the Virtual Monte Carlo
(VMC) interface. In this paper, the various novel algorithms and methods for track reconstruction
and visualization, and for higher-level data analysis are presented. Furthermore, a status report
and future plans for a high-performance computing environment for Panda will be discussed exploiting
an AliEN-based GRID infrastructure and R&D on various parallelization techniques.
