G. Bourianoff et al., SIMULATION FACILITY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-LEVEL CONTROL CODE AT THESSC, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 352(1-2), 1994, pp. 333-335
An interactive simulator has been built to serve as a development plat
form for High Level Application Code (HLAC). It is built around a powe
rful parallel computer that serves as a particle tracking engine. An i
ntermediate hardware and software layer incorporates fully the EPICS c
ontrol system. Details of the control system are hidden from the HLAC
by an isolation layer (AIC) which consists of C++ class libraries. A c
losed orbit correction module developed on the simulator is described.
