Challenging program for beamlines

• Nano beam, nano manipulation, nano samples
• Time resolved experiments
• Extreme conditions (high pressure, high fields,
  high temperature)
• High throughput detector up to 500 MB/s-gt new
  computing infrastructure challenges
• Online data analysis -gt international partnership
• Grid -gt external partnership
• Etc

5
Building partnerships becomes mandatory

• I3 Joined Reaserch Activity ( meeting 6 sept at
  PSI)
• Building a Virtual European centre for analysing
  synchrotron data
• Sharing practices for infrastructure
• Dataflow model
• Common data format, metadata
• Visualisation
• Grid infrastructure
• ALBA, DIAMOND, DESY, PSI, ESRF, SOLEIL, ELETTRA
• Seeking financing of Brussels

6
Building partnerships becomes mandatory

• ESFRI project
• Build a common European User database
• Experiment Proposal submission
• Scheduling of experiment etc
• Build a Grid virtual organisation for data
  analysis.
• ESRF, SOLEIL?

The beamlines today

• 40 beamlines 1 in construction
• Several new high throughput detectors
• Frelon 80MB/s
• DALSA 120 MB/s
• SARNOFF 150 MB/s
• MEDIPIX 200 MB/s -gt 1GB/s
• Photron fastcam until 1k 1k 5000F/s
• Network/disk infrastructure limits
• Today 75MB/s
• Soon 250 MB/s (several 10Gb ethernet links)

TANGO on beamlines

• 26 beamlines running TANGO db
• Main classes
• CCD interfaces
• Prosilica
• Falcon
• IEEE1394 (firewire)
• DirectShow camera interface (in development)
• Thales Pixium flat panel detector (in
  development)
• Protein crystallography
• Micro diffractometer and sample changer
• Optical elements and motors on one beamline
• Electrometer (class from Soleil) used on 4
  beamlines

9
Modifications of Accelerator started

• Lattice changed to leave space to more ondulators
• 6m instead of 5m (target 7m)
• Test at 300 mA successful ( 150 flux)
• Exchange of the crotch absorbers in progress
• Multibunch feedback commissioned (libera based)

10
New equipments in Accelerator control

• Liberas for several different applications
• 3 Liberas for TL2 bpm (V1.42)
• 4 Liberas for Bunch per bunch feedback (v1.40)
• 8 Liberas for SR BPM interlocks (v1.60)
• 1 Libera for charge measurement system (v1.40)
• Several Ieee1394 Digital camera
• 10 new Residual gas analysers
• Upgrade of bunch-clock system

11
New classes

• New abstract classes
• Valves, motors, CCD,
• Soon video, gauges,
• New concrete classes
• VpapMotor, multiAxes, Bunchclock,
• direct show camera,
• Soon interlocks with geographical information,

12
In progress

• Booster Powersupply System rewriting is in
  progress.
• Refurbishment of network infrastructure (cabling
  finished, installation of hardware)
• High Quality Power Supply system
• Integrate 8 Liberas for SR bpm interlocks
• Prepare SR BPM system with 224 liberas
• HDB extractor server for our former HDB
• Dynamic devices API

13
New requests

• GUI with Geographical information
• Display devices on a map. (keep the coordinates
  in a database)
• Requested for thermo-sensors, interlocks,
  pressure distribution etc
• First version in preparation (JL Pons)
• What about real GIS system in TANGO?

14
In progress

• Geographical jdraw application
• Edit and browse mode for jdraw

185 deg
Interlock
15
Main problems on Accelerator control

• More and more difficulty to restart in case of
  general power-cut
• TANGO (1900 devices, 117 hosts)
• Several heavy servers (100 dynamic attributes)
• Overload of database server
• Several iteration necessary to full restart
• Corrective actions on TANGO?
