Abstract

The Unified Accelerator Libraries (UAL) form an object-oriented programming toolkit for developing distributed accelerator software. At this time the UAL joins accelerator programs DA, PAC, and TEAPOT thereby implementing a set of fundamental accelerator data structures and algorithms: an accelerator lattice model, element-by-element particle tracking, differential algebra, and others. The Application Programming Interface (API), written in Perl, provides a universal homogeneous environment for invoking, customizing, and extending diverse accelerator algorithms, and integrating them with other computer software. It can be considered a model of the Accelerator Simulation Facility based on the CORBA Business Object Facility and the UAL framework
