User's Reference Manual

OPAL is a tool for charged-particle optics in accelerator structuresandbeamlines. Usingthe MAD languagewithextensions, OPAL is derived from MAD9P and is based on the CLASSIC class library, which was started in 1995 by an international collaboration. IPPL (Independent Parallel Particle Layer) is the framework which provides parallel particles and fields using data parallel ansatz. OPAL is built from the ground up as a parallel application exemplifying the fact that HPC (High Performance Computing) is the third leg of science, complementing theory and the experiment. HPC is made possible now through the increasingly sophisticated mathematical models and evolving computer power available on the desktop and in super computer centres. OPAL runs on your laptop as well as on the largest HPC clusters available today. The OPAL framework makes it easy to add new features in the form of new C++ classes. OPAL comes in the following flavours: • OPAL-MAP (More details will be given in Version 1.1.7)
