The change in software language and methodology by CDF and D0 to
object-oriented from procedural Fortran is significant. Both
experiments requested dedicated expertise that could be applied to
software design, coding, advice and review. Our outside review panel
agreed strongly with the request and recommended that the Fermilab Computing
Division hire dedicated OO expertise for the CDF/D0/Computing Division
joint project effort.
This was done and the two experts have been an invaluable addition to
the CDF and D0 upgrade software projects and to the Computing Division
in general. These experts have fertilized common approaches and
increased the overall quality of the upgrade software. Advice on OO
techniques as well as specific advice on C++ coding has been used in
some cases. Recently a set of software reviews has been accomplished.
This has been a very successful instance of targetted application of
computing expertise, and constitutes a very interesting study of how to
move toward modern computing methodologies
in HEP.
