Changelog

RAYX-CORE

  • New optical element: Multi Layer Mirror
    • support for up to 1000 coatings
  • New source: Ray List Source
    • user can provide a list of rays to be taced
  • Generate rays on selected device
    before, rays were generated from sources on the cpu, singlethreaded
    now, ray generation will take place on the selected device, gpu or cpu, multithreaded
    • record generated rays, so they can be analyzed and plotted by the user
  • Changes in Ray attributes
    • refactor path_length to optical_path_length
      before, represented the geometrical path length
      now, represents the optical path length
    • refactor element_id to object_id
      before, an event refered to an element
      now an event may relate to generated rays from a source or element
  • Drop support for misalignment
    • misalignment was an artifact from RAY-UI, which was incomplete in rayx, incapable of applying translational and rotational adjustments correctly. now it is removed, making space for a new design of this concept
  • Rework reading and writing rays to csv file
    • improve readability of csv files
      • allow scientific notation
      • use precise number of digits for floating point numbers
      • add ability to write integers and strings
    • use ray attribute mask, to determine what attributes are written
  • Extend beamline tree (class BeamlineNode, class Group)
    • add node to tree, release node from tree, reparent node, find node
    • add bijection between sources/elements and object_id
  • Extend struct Rays (structure of arrays)
  • Make more types be used in type-safe manner, in preparation to make them available from rayx-python (#415)
  • Several performance optimizations
    • use rays in SoA fashion, including gpu kernels, allows for masking recorded attributes as early as possible
  • Fix energy distribuition type: list of weighted values for photon energy (dat file)
  • Fix single precision calculation in conversion from global to local electric field and calculation of degree of polarization. use double precision

RAYX (cli)

  • Add cli option to override the number of rays in the sources of the traced beamline
    -n,--number-of-rays INT Override the number of rays for all sources

  • Add cli option to sort output events by object_id. This can speed-up analysis when plotting per object
    -O,--sort-by-object-id Sort rays by object_id before writing to output file

  • Enable usage of option -o to specify output directory of trace results for multiple rml inputs

  • rework cli parsing

    • add capability to positional arguments
      by default arguments will be treated as RML input
      e.g. ./rayx my_beamline.rml my_other_beamline.rml
      this allows for double clicking rml files in the file manager to run rayx. just set rayx as default application for file extension .rml
    • add capability to array-like arguments
      e.g. rayx my_beamline.rml -A position_x position_z
    • use -- to terminate the list of values to an array-like argument)
      e.g. ./rayx -A position_x position_z -- my_beamline.rml

  • Rename some of the cli arguments

  • Validate output events

Other Changes

  • Fallback to single-threaded tracing on CPU when OpenMP is not available during compilation
