Abstract

Chris O'Grady (SLAC)

Psana is the main analysis tool developed by LCLS, upon which some other tools are based. It uses a combination of C++ and python. I will discuss recent psana developments and future plans. Recent developments include the ability to express complex analysis ideas with simple python scripts; ability to run the same code offline and online in real-time; ability to parallelize over many cores offline and online using MPI; ability to generate standard "reduced size" HDF5 files; ability to run psana on Windows/Mac "laptops" using virtualization.
