The Open XAL online model is the component of Open XAL* providing accelerator modeling dynamic synchronization to live hardware. Several significant architectural enhancements and feature additions have been made concerning the handling and processing of simulation data. The major structural change is the creation of a single class Trajectory<> that manages all simulation data. Another significant design change was the development of standard tools for processing simulation results. One may obtain machine parameters such as fixed orbit, phase advance, dispersion, etc., or beam-based calculations such as RMS size and centroid location simply by passing simulation results, i.e. a Trajectory<> object, to these computation tools. Finally, the ability to fully create composite modeling elements was implemented in the online model. Specifically, accelerator hardware can be modeled as a collection of constituent modeling elements. This sub-structure capability is extremely useful for modeling RF cavities consisting of coupled RF gaps coupled and drift spaces. We present an overview of the new architecture and how it is used when building applications.

Open XAL is an accelerator physics software platform developed in collaboration among several facilities around the world. The Open XAL collaboration was formed in 2010 to port, improve and extend the successful XAL platform used at the Spallation Neutron Source for use in the broader accelerator community and to establish it as the standard platform for accelerator physics software. The site-independent core is complete, active applications have been ported, and now we are in the process of verification and transitioning to using Open XAL in production. This paper will present the current status and a roadmap for this project.
