| Kernel | Status | ||||||
| "Switch/Skip" components (Component group ABSORB GROUP COMPONENT - can be done, example in manual?) | |
||||||
| "Share" components (done, sharing "shareable" parts - lib style) - Logging event support (Can be done, Monitor_nd - example in manual?) | |
||||||
| "Split" neutrons (see switch/skip + extend feature - example in manual) | |
||||||
| Framework for table input ?!? (If about parameter input, should be doable, through defines) | |
||||||
| Compile runtime+shared functions - through example in manual. | |
||||||
| Retrieve old monitor data, read from file by Virtual_input -> mcstas_r | |
||||||
| %INCLUDE keyword for "inclusion" of components in components... (To think about), done. :) -> component_shares/My_function_name_include | |
||||||
| Option to trace background events - no, perhaps absorbed neutrons instead? | |
||||||
| Loop/Additive groups - very complex, in principle can be done within each component | |
||||||
| MPI - pvm? | |
||||||
| Nexus - function calls (partially written) | |
||||||
| Runtime | Status | ||||||
| Gravity (functions defined, only used in gravity guide - merge probagation routines, easy task) | |
||||||
| Functions for Nexus (to be written) | |
||||||
| Components | Status | ||||||
| Prepare all for polarisation - done. | |
||||||
| ESS moderators - done. | |
||||||
| Monitor_nD, replace p by other phys. quantity, easy task. | |
||||||
| Renaming of components (optics/samples) (e.g. Guide_*) | |
||||||
| Monochromator, reflectivity curve from file. renormalisation by r0, simple. | |
||||||
| Check fluxes / absolute fluxes - provide experimental data + instrument definition | |
||||||
| Powder component take input, written, should be tested. 2 lines, n lines. | |
||||||
| Sample for SANS - existing components (single xtal ex.), other parms, powder to be checked. | |
||||||
| Bender, to be tested check for absolute fluxes, as compared to a number of linear guides. | |
||||||
| Virtual_Output - should be written, macro for calling Monitor_nD? - See %INCLUDE in kernel section. | |
||||||
| rand_target_rect, modification according to formula. | |
||||||
| Sort components in cathegories, official, contrib, obsolete | |
||||||
| $Log: status.html,v $ | Revision 1.2 2009-09-24 09:49:26 pkwi | Updating a few old @risoe.dk mail addrs | Revision 1.1.1.1 2004-06-22 12:04:09 pkwi | Import of website | - cvs revision no, etc. for both McStas kernel / lib, automated using cvs?. Origin indicates research institution, McVersion required McStas Version | |
|
| Inelastic samples, inclusion of already written components for this? Test reqd. | |
||||||
| Sample for amorphous materials, (inelastic?) structure from asympt. apx. from powder sample. | |
||||||
| Monochromator w/ parasitic Bragg channel - not too complicated. | |
||||||
| Andrew Garret components. | |
Instruments | Status | ||||
| Intercomparison intstruments H8, IRIS, RITA-II, IN12, TAS1, IN14,... | |
||||||
| Component test modules | |
||||||
| Moved to lib/examples/H8,... including instrument files + data + test results from "stable version" incl. test-script. | |
||||||
| Tools | Status | ||||||
| Automated optimization -> Optimisation (LM?) - great complexity... Manual example? | |
||||||
| Improve GUI - scilab and matlab plotting backends. | |
||||||
| Status monitor support (Tool to be written - script) - access pid, daemon. | |
||||||
| html / png / page generation. (perhaps scilab based?) - mcplot? | |
||||||
| mcdisplay date checking for recompilation, through mcrun -n 1 | |
||||||
| export in several formats, ps, gif, scilab, matlab, idl, xml... | |
||||||
| mcdisplay show help info when no arguments (l. 517) | |
||||||
| mcdoc: changed to show instruments also. | |
||||||
| Analyzer bank generator (RITA2 type setup), script | |
||||||
| mcdisplay 3D? | |
||||||
| BatchMaker? Ask author to contibute | |
||||||
| Documentation | Status | ||||||
| FAQ list in manual | |
||||||
| Examples for group, share etc. | |
||||||
| Component manual info should be included, user auth. for contrib. | |
||||||
| valid latex2e code. (latex2html, pdftex etc.) | |
||||||
| doc directory. | |
||||||
| Community related | Status | ||||||
| Developers list mccode-devel@mccode.org (common with McXtrace) | |
||||||
| License problems? Inclusion of GPL'ed mersene twister etc, png. etc. | |
||||||
| More user communication on ongoing projects. (Either a web page or a monthly reminder to mailing list) | |
||||||
| Intercomparison info on web page | |
||||||
| Add new components (RISØ, Th. Hansen,...) | |
||||||
| Contact NIMB for publications - ("recommended journal" on web) | |
||||||
| SCANS extenstion | |
||||||
| v 1.7 release | |
