HEP Software:

Sabah@hep.man.ac.uk

• LHC experiments and LCG show recent development activities on OS X Little effort by single individuals (even on spare time)

ALICE: the whole offline software runs on OS X CMS: Iguana, Orca, initial port of external libraries ATLAS: CMT, Atlantis, Atlas distribution kit (based on CMT &

Pacman), single packages of the Athena framework LHCb: Gaudi, Panoramix, Da Vinci LCG: SEAL, PI, externals libraries on Xserve

From SLAC and on Fink http://geant4.slac.stanford.edu/g4cd/July2004/Documentation/ WorkshopExercises/Prerequisities/MacOSX.html

ROOT From ROOT (since long time) and on Fink

• Used to simulate particle interactions through matter • Written in C++ • Software ported and tested on MacOS 10.3 with gcc 3.3 compiler

–First-level porting for shared libraries in the last release 6.2 of the toolkit

• Binary libraries distributed on CD (created and maintained by SLAC Geant4 developers)

–Libraries also available on FINK (maintained by user community)

• Fairly large (and growing) user community

• The platform will become soon officially supported
