Description
A high-extendable distributed data processing suit for neutron experiments (DroNE) is developed in C++, which will server for the online data manipulation and analysis of neutron scattering instruments. The loosely-coupled distributed architecture is used to meet multi-discipline research demands at China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS).
The software provides flexible Python/Java APIs, and allows a wide variety of interfaces to run the experiment. In the implementation, the online data streaming is received by DIM from Data Acquisition System (DAQ), and the real-time process variables are logged by EPICS from slow control system. Synchronously, a complete chain of reconstruction algorithms will be trigged to decompose the time-of-fight (TOF) neutron events.
A communication layer is also developed and open to all distributed components. The physical histogram and meta-data related to certain run will be kept in-memory data structure store with time series durability. It will allow the direct access of the data reduction package, Mantid. In addition, the data visualization software is built in client/server model, to satisfy the quick response needs of online data manipulation.
