Can we reuse some of the huge code-base developed in C to take advantage of modern programming language features such as type safety, object-orientation, and contracts? This paper presents a source-to-source translation of C code into…

In October 2000, the third PCaPAC (PCs and Particle Accelerator Controls) workshop took place at DESY. This paper presents a summary of the workshop. The workshop reviewed existing and new PC-based accelerator control systems, from…

The aim of this work is to define and implement an extended C++ language to support the SIMD programming paradigm. The C++ programming language has been extended to express all the potentiality of an abstract SIMD machine consisting of a…

The main objective of this paper is to design and develop an automatic vehicle, fully controlled by a computer system. The vehicle designed in the present work can move in a pre-determined path and work automatically without the need of any…

Designing of microprocessor based controllers requires specific hardware as well as software programming. Programming depends upon type of the software whether operating software or application software. Programming requires knowledge of…

The reference implementation of Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) was written in the C programming language. C inherently follows a procedural programming paradigm, which entails challenges in providing a reusable and scalable…

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) for real-time advanced process control (RT-APC) are a class of control systems using network communication to control industrial processes. In this paper, we use simple examples to describe the software…

A message oriented software scheme is used for the SPring-8 beamline control. In the early stage, we developed customized control programs for each beamline. As the number of beamlines increased, however, it became necessary to introduce a…

Software engineering education and training have obstacles caused by a lack of basic knowledge about a process of program execution. The article is devoted to the development of special tools that help to visualize the process. We analyze…

The set of externally visible properties associated with process variables in the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) is predefined in the EPICS base distribution and is therefore not extensible by plug-compatible…

In this paper, we introduce Continuation Passing C (CPC), a programming language for concurrent systems in which native and cooperative threads are unified and presented to the programmer as a single abstraction. The CPC compiler uses a…

This paper presents an open-source, lightweight, yet comprehensive software framework, named RPC, which integrates physics-based simulators, planning and control libraries, debugging tools, and a user-friendly operator interface. RPC…

REC (REGULAR EXPRESSION COMPILER) is a programming language of simple structure developed originally for the PDP-8 computer of the Digital Equipment, Corporation, but readily adaptable to any other general purpose computer. It has been used…

This article is about an implementation and compilation technique that is used in RAW-Feldspar which is a complete rewrite of the Feldspar embedded domain-specific language (EDSL) (Axelsson et al. 2010). Feldspar is high-level functional…

We focus on control constructs that allow programmers define actions to be performed when respective conditions are met without requiring the explicit evaluation and testing of conditions as part of an imperative algorithm. Such elements…

In recent years, utilization of heterogeneous hardware other than small core CPU such as GPU, FPGA or many core CPU is increasing. However, when using heterogeneous hardware, barriers of technical skills such as CUDA are high. Based on…

Geoff is a collection of Python packages that form a framework for automation of particle accelerator controls. With particle accelerator laboratories around the world researching machine learning techniques to improve accelerator…

Replacing ANSI C language with other modern programming languages such as Python or Java may be an actual debate topic in technical universities. Researchers whose primary interests are not in programming area seem to prefer modern and…

We present several enhancements to the open-source ESP platform to support flexible and efficient on-chip communication for programmable accelerators in heterogeneous SoCs. These enhancements include 1) a flexible point-to-point…

Today's world of scientific software for High Energy Physics (HEP) is powered by x86 code, while the future will be much more reliant on accelerators like GPUs and FPGAs. The portable parallelization strategies (PPS) project of the High…
