Vintage SLAC accelerator software spreads its wings
DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Pioneering software called ACE3P was developed almost a quarter century ago to fine-tune the design of particle accelerators and their components. Now its latest incarnation is being adapted for scientific supercomputing and manufacturing design, thanks to partnerships between two companies and DOE's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
