BOS Banks

BOS is a memory management system that enables large and complicated data structures to be realised in FORTRAN programs. Data is organised in a list or bank, each word of which has a defined meaning. Each type of bank is given a name and since more than one bank of the same name may exist each bank is also given a number. In ARAXNE many banks are defined. The most commonly used banks are listed below.

TCCM

Header information (one bank per event).

TCRW

Raw hits (one bank per superlayer).

TCRI

Monte Carlo track number of each hit (one bank per superlayer).

TCVH

Track segment expressed in the LNO co-ordinate system (one bank per segment).

TCVC

Track segment expressed in the CTD x,y co-ordinate system (one bank per segment).

TCRT

Reconstructed track (one bank per track).

STRK

Record of Monte Carlo track kinematics (one bank per track).
