Rt Java, Home of the Brave, Heads Up!

Rt Java, Home of the Brave, Heads Up!

[Sam Harbaugh (CP)]

Aren't these people neighbors of Home of the Brave?  Maybe he can drop by
their place and sell them Ada95. Or Ski by or whatever they do there :-) :-)

>>Hi Kelvin,
>>        I have just discovered and subscribed to your mailing list. This mail
>>is to explain my interests in the area.
>>
>>I work on the data acquisition system for the ATLAS experiment at the future
>>LHC collider here at CERN.
>>In our current prototype, we use sun/hp workstations for s/w development,
>>process control and man-machine interfaces etc; Real-time UNIX  (such as
>>LynxOS) on single board processors (86K, MIPS 3000, PowerPC) in VME crates for
>>general acquisition tasks; lower down there are purpose built cards,
>>electronics and read-out links.
>>As you can image we need a lot of software which is currently dominated by C
>>with C++ now creeping in as well. We typically produce software for 4 to 5
>>platforms. The typical size of our software efforts is about 200K-300K
lines of
>>C for the whole DAQ.
>>
>>We are trying to understand if Java will be of any benefit for anything other
>>than GUI work and will follow your developments with interest.
