Nodal: the second life of the accelerator control language

Nodal is a popular interpreter language for accelerator controls since the beginning of the 70's. Nodal has been rewritten in the C language to be easily portable to the different computer platforms which are in use in today's accelerator controls. The paper describes the major features of...

description Nodal is a popular interpreter language for accelerator controls since the beginning of the 70's. Nodal has been rewritten in the C language to be easily portable to the different computer platforms which are in use in today's accelerator controls. The paper describes the major features of this new version of Nodal, the major software packages which are available through this implementation, the platforms on which it is currently running, and some relevant performances.The paper presents the major domains of usage of Nodal and its capability for these classes of applications. The experience gained during the rejuvenation project of the CERN accelerator control systems is presented. The benefit of this use is discussed, in particular with a view to the prevailing strong constraints in personnel and money resources.
