“…Rapid Applications Development (rad) tools, environments, and languages oo programming languages, such as Java, C++, and C#, are now the dominant programming languages for modern commercial software development. However, despite several major efforts, such as Java Grande [11] and pooma [10], oop has made little inroads into mainstream scientific software development. The primary reason for this has been performance: dynamic oop languages incur a significant performance penalty.…”

Maintaining and adapting scientific applications software is an ongoing issue for many researchers and communities, especially in domains such as geophysics, where community codes are constantly evolving to adopt new solution methods and constitutive laws. Traditional high performance computing code is written in C or Fortran, * VPAC, Melbourne, Australia. ANZIAM J. 46 (E) pp.C1001-C1016, 2005C1002 which offer high performance but are notoriously difficult to evolve and maintain. Object-oriented and interpretive programming languages (such as C++, Java, and Python) offer better support for code evolution and maintenance, but have not been widely adopted for scientific programming, for reasons including their performance and/or complexity. This paper describes our approach to developing scientific codes in C that provides the flexibility of interpreted objectoriented environments with the performance of traditional C programming, through techniques including entry points, plug-ins, and coarse grained objects. This approach has been used to implement two very differently formulated scientific codes in active use and development by the geophysics scientific community.

Abstract. We report on a generic 3D visualization system for accelerators and beam lines, in order to visualize and animate huge amount of multidimensional datasets. The phase space data on together with survey information obtained from mad9p runs, are post-processed and then translated into colored raytraced POV-Ray movies. We use HPC for the beam dynamic calculation and for the trivially parallel task of ray-tracing a huge number of animation frames. We show various movies of complicated beam lines and acceleration structure, and discuss the potential use of such tools in the design and operation process of future and present accelerators and beam transport systems.
