`OPAL` is a tool for charged-particle optics in accelerator structures

and beam lines. Using the `mad` language with extensions, `OPAL` is

particles and fields using data parallel ansatz. `OPAL` is built from

the ground up as a parallel application exemplifying the fact that HPC

theory and the experiment. HPC is made possible now through the

power available on the desktop and in super computer centres. `OPAL`
