Overview





What’s LSA core?

• Optics Characteristics of the machine, layout, twiss

• Settings Generation Generation of the functions based on the optics

• Settings Management Functions or values for all parameters (physics to hardware)

• Trim Coherent modification of settings, revert (rollback)

• Hardware Exploitation Equipment Control, Measurements

• Operational Exploitation Sequencing, Super Cycle changes

Overview





Main developments in 2006• Completed database redesign (with DM) and software

refactoring (with solid unit testing) Many changes over past 2 years – needed rationalization One database for all machines


Main developments in 2006• Import of FESA devices & properties into the LSA database

Discrete settings management (which includes expert & critical settings) General access point to all devices/properties (FESA & non-FESA)

• Improved EquipState application Read/Write of any properties (including FESA) Better configurability of custom commands


Main developments in 2006•Extensions & improvements in the

settings management Support for discrete settings Better trim rollback Included SPS RF Few important bug fixes and improvements

(settings copy, trim, incorporation)

•Exploitation package Refactored to support transactional drive Implemented transactions for MUGEF Asynchronous drive of LHC power converters Better reporting of failures


Main developments in 2006• Support for expert settings (BI) and critical

settings (work began)


Main developments in 2006(PLUS)

• Equipment monitor (complementary to the fixed displays)


Main developments in 2006(PLUS)

• LHC BLM concentrator (using test creates) & display

• Prototype of LHC BPM concentrator (both concentrators based on facilities

provided by JAPC)

• LHC Power converters ramp & squeeze

• CMS luminosity monitoring (JAPC wrapper over DIP)

• On going HWC support (set of the day, …)


Overview





Work for the coming year

•Settings management & trim Continue work on expert & critical settings Actual settings (LHC) (prototyping done) Not multiplexed settings (e.g. thresholds)

Plus: Additional information for parameters: unit,

limits (min/max), precision (rounding) Custom (enumerated) types for discrete

settings Setting archives (it seems they will be

useful)


Work for the coming year cd..

• Review core applications (Settings generation, Trim Editor, Settings Manager, …)

Solve performance issues More user friendly Many extensions necessary for LHC

• Integration with RBAC Applications need to be adapted Authorization in LSA core if necessary

• Scalability test (driving 1700 PCs) How it behaves?


Work for the coming year cd..• Prepare and maintain API for LHC Sequencer

& other clients

• Timing and synchronization Generation of timing tables, events, …

• Monitoring of LSA parameters & other information stored in the LSA DB (e.g. accelerator mode)

For applications (using JAPC) - support for GET already in place

On the Front End (if necessary)

• Hardware Commissioning support Track subsystems commissioned

•Brookhaven National Lab – LHC injection (beta-beat, coupling), …?

•GSI Darmstadt - ?


Overview





Issues

• Some work can and will be passed to international collaborators, but

Need to have local first-line support Medium term maintenance of these applications must be

defined

• Technical guidance & support for non AP developers (local & external) is essential so that their products can be maintained afterwards

It requires considerable amount of time and the number of temporary resource will grow

The supervision effort is not compatible with the workload of the technical people in the LSA core team


Conclusions

•A lot of work has been done•Architecture is stable •Validated in SPS, LEIR, transfer lines, HWC

•Still lots of work to be done•The work can be staged over the next 2

years•The available human resources are mainly

temporary or part time•The technical guidance issue should be

somehow addressed


Main milestones for 2007

•Continuing support for SPS, LEIR & HWC

•TI8•TI2•Partial & full LHC dry runs

leading to machine check out
