SasView Code Camp V

Introduction

The fifth SasView Code Camp was be held at the ​Spallation Neutron Source, Oak Ridge, Tennessee from 4th to 11th October, 2016

Local arrangements were made by Mathieu Doucet with details on the planning page?.

Initial Goals

SasView version 4.0 was released before the Code Camp, completing the work from the previous Code Camp in Delft

The primary goals of this code camp were those from the ​roadmap, namely:

  • TBA from list of tickets
  • Add a new corfunc perspective
  • Added file converter to support multifile data
  • Fix Save Project when constrained fits are used
  • Continue work on GUI refactoring (and the clean separation of UI from computational code).
  • Work on increasing model coverage looking at non-overlap with SASfit models.
  • Begin work refactoring/clean-up of Batch fitting (to include batch operations on roi such as box sum and slices).
  • Finish model documentation review and formating
  • Add missing documentation and documentation of new functionality
  • Work on improving infrastructure (build systems, 64 bit/Anaconda on all platforms of build machines, trac, licensing, etc)

These tasks build on the work done for release 4.0 and are aimed at a 4.1 release in late 2016/early 2017. The major items for this release are the integration of SESANS analysis, improvements to the Save Project functionality, inclusion of some models from SasFit?, enhanced documentation and improved reliability.

The work on GUI refactoring that was started at the Delft Code Camp continues as a contribution to the project from ESS under the SINE2020 project.

Progress and Outcomes

This code camp brought 13 developers together to work for 7 days on the ​SasView and ​sasmodels code, documentation, and development infrastructure. One new developer, Dirk Honecker from ILL, joined the project.

The camp began with introductions and updates from all the partner labs.

To focus the work for the code camp, the management team made a proposal as to what functionality should be targeted for a v4.1 release in late 2016. In order to achieve this, the development team was placed in groups? focussing on:

  • New GUI
  • SESANS analysis integration
  • Sasmodels bug fixing and enhancement
  • SasView? bug fixing and enhancement
  • Documentation & Training
  • Developer Infrastructure
