Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences under Award Number DE-SC0006284. Particle accelerator and radiation modeling codes focus on specific problems, rely on complicated command-line interfaces, are sometimes limited to a small number of computing platforms, and can be difficult to install. There is also a growing need to use two or more codes together for end-to-end design or for complicated sub-systems. RadTrack is a lightweight cross-platform GUI for such codes, based on the Qt framework and PyQt bindings for Python. RadTrack is designed to support multiple codes, placing no burden on the corresponding development teams. Elegant and the Synchrotron Radiation Workshop (SRW) are supported now in a pre-beta stage, and support for GENESIS 1.3 is under development. These codes are being containerized via the open source Docker platform for use in the cloud. The open source Vagrant and Virtual Box are used for MacOS and Windows. We discuss RadTrack and our vision for cloud computing. |
