OpenCSP is a community code development and data sharing environment, providing several items:
OpenCSP Data
- CAD tools and models, including the SOFAST CAD layout tool.
- Simple tools to support quick analysis, such as a 2-d interactive ray-trace study tool.
- Optical calibration targets, both in ready-to-print form and ready-to-modify editable form.
- Research data sets, including a large corpus of beam characterization system (BCS) data.
OpenCSP Code
- Ready-to-run applications, including SOFAST 2.0.
- Foundation classes to support writing new CSP programs.
- A rich portfolio of ready-to-run examples showing how to use OpenCSP to solve a variety of problems.
- Support for high-performance parallel computation.
- A rich development environment setup to support team development of high-quality, reusable code – developers welcome!
OpenCSP is designed to support the whole CSP community – including industry, research, and education. It’s currently at various stages of maturity, with some components fully developed and operational, others in the testing and refinement phase, and a few still in the development stage.
