Summary : Numerical data analysis framework

Description : The ROOT system provides a set of object oriented frameworks with all
: the functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts of data
: in a very efficient way. Having the data defined as a set of objects,
: specialized storage methods are used to get direct access to the
: separate attributes of the selected objects, without having to touch
: the bulk of the data. Included are histogramming methods in an
: arbitrary number of dimensions, curve fitting, function evaluation,
: minimization, graphics and visualization classes to allow the easy
: setup of an analysis system that can query and process the data
: interactively or in batch mode, as well as a general parallel
: processing framework, PROOF, that can considerably speed up an
: analysis.
:
: Thanks to the built-in C++ interpreter cling, the command, the
: scripting and the programming language are all C++. The interpreter
: allows for fast prototyping of the macros since it removes the, time
: consuming, compile/link cycle. It also provides a good environment to
: learn C++. If more performance is needed the interactively developed
: macros can be compiled using a C++ compiler via a machine independent
: transparent compiler interface called ACliC.
:
: The system has been designed in such a way that it can query its
: databases in parallel on clusters of workstations or many-core
: machines. ROOT is an open system that can be dynamically extended by
: linking external libraries. This makes ROOT a premier platform on
: which to build data acquisition, simulation and data analysis systems.
