RE: areaDetector developers meeting @ ITER

[Mark Rivers <rivers@cars.uchicago.edu>]

Folks,

 

Ulrik and I have created a draft agenda for the meeting here:

 

https://github.com/areaDetector/areaDetector/wiki/October-2017-Meeting-at-ITER

 

Please take a look and send suggestions for additions or modifications.  Note that I have scheduled some of you to make presentations on activities at your sites, etc.  If you would like to change or add a presentation please let me know.

 

Ralph, could you please add a link to this on the Meetings page here: https://sites.google.com/view/epics2017/meetings

 

Also, sent this message recently:

    In your registrations, you did not fully answer the question about where you're staying, yet.

    As soon as you know, please let us know, so that we know.

 

Please let him know where you are staying.

 

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Regarding Release 5-0, I'm working on a more realistic ADCore prototype with a new NDArray type that makes use of NTNDArrays. I could prepare a presentation on the topic.

Code lives at (branch 'ad-v4'):

Folks,

 

I am sending this message to people who have expressed interest in the areaDetector developer's meeting at ITER on October 5.  There is now a Web page to register for the meeting.  It also has information on travel, housing, etc.  If you plan to attend you should register and make your housing reservations soon.

I know that Bruno cannot attend in person, but he would like to participate remotely if possible.

 

We need to generate an agenda for the meeting, so suggestions are welcome.

 

Some preliminary topics can come from the proposed R4-0 and R5-0 milestones and their associated issues in ADCore from Github:

 

Release 4-0 

This release will change the NDPluginFile API.

  #169  Create unittest for NDPluginDriver enhancement

  #73  File writing modes: proposed changes for R3-0.

  #251  Move more functionality into the ADDriver base class enhancement

  #254  Implement NDPluginFile::readFile() for some file formats enhancement

  #255  Add flag to prevent overwriting files in NDPluginFile enhancement

 

Release 5-0 

This release may change the NDArray and NDArrayPool classes to use shared pointers. This could either be done by changing the pData and pAttributeList pointers in NDArray into std::tr1:shared_ptr or by replacing NDArray with V4 NTNDArray. The latter would make V4 a requirement for ADCore.

  #1  NDArrayPool refactor

  #95 Possible changes to NDArray and NDArrayPool enhancement

 

 

Thanks,

Mark
