Virtual Accelerator for Applications Development
and Training

• To enable early testing of applications through
  the control system, a virtual accelerator has
  been implemented to give simulation of the
  accelerators though the intended EPICS PV
  interface. Prototype was set up by the help from
  DLS.
• Current version is AT/MML version.
• Virtual booster and linac are also possible near
  future!
• Many facility have such kinds activities SNS,
  KEK, J-PARC, DLS, many others!

Summary

• The design of the TPS control system is on
  going.
• All major components for control system are in
  intensive study.
• Standardization hardware and software are the
  current focus.
• EPICS toolkit training - a series training
  activities will be arranged.
• Set up EPICS test-bed
• Single kind of operating system solution for
  IOCs and consoles are preferred
• gt Linux.
• Economic design without scarify performances and
  reliability are the goals.
• Select possible outsourcing items
• Learn experiences from other labs
