The proposed solution - LHC++ “Libraries for Hep Computing”

• Defined by a 1995 committee comprising CERN’s IT Division and the LHC experiments.

• Managed by workshops every six months

• Focusses on use of industry standard solutions, wherever possible

• OO data model

• Tries to save HEP manpower for development of HEP-specific components

• Scope:

  • Foundation class libraries
  • Mathematical libraries
  • Graphics libraries
  • Visualisation toolkits, data analysis, histograms
  • Monte Carlo event generators
  • Detector simulation codes
  • Object persistency

• Primary focus on C++
