A leading-edge control system for quantum information experiments
88bf7d2233
Before this commit, proto::io::{read,write}_* functions were taking
a &mut {Read,Write}. This means a lot of virtual dispatch.
After this commit, all these functions are specialized for
the specific IO trait.
This could be achieved with just changing the signature from
fn read_x(reader: &mut Read)
to
fn read_x<R: Read>(reader: &mut R)
but the functions were also grouped into ReadExt and WriteExt
traits as a refactoring.
Initially, it was expected that the generic traits from
the byteorder crate could be used, but they require endianness
to be specified on every call and thus aren't very ergonomic.
They also lack the equivalent to our read_string and read_bytes.
Thus, it seems fine to just define a slightly different extension
trait.
This also optimized the test_rpc_timing test: 1.7ms→1.2ms.

It is developed by `M-Labs <https://m-labs.hk>`_ for and in partnership with the `Ion Storage Group at NIST <http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/grp10/index.cfm>`_ as free software. It is offered to the entire research community as a solution equally applicable to other challenging control tasks outside the field of ion trapping. The system features a high-level programming language that helps describing complex experiments, which is compiled and executed on dedicated hardware with nanosecond timing resolution and sub-microsecond latency. It includes graphical user interfaces to parametrize and schedule experiments and to visualize and explore the results. ARTIQ uses FPGA hardware to perform its time-critical tasks. It is designed to be portable to hardware platforms from different vendors and FPGA manufacturers. Currently, one configuration of a `low-cost open hardware FPGA board <http://pipistrello.saanlima.com/>`_ and several different configurations of a `high-end FPGA evaluation kit <http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/ek-k7-kc705-g.html>`_ are used and supported. Any of these FPGA platforms can be combined with any number of additional peripherals, either already accessible from ARTIQ or made accessible with little effort. Custom hardware components with widely extended capabilities and advanced support for scalable and fully distributed real-time control of experiments `are being designed <https://github.com/m-labs/artiq-hardware>`_. ARTIQ and its dependencies are available in the form of `conda packages <https://conda.anaconda.org/m-labs/label/main>`_ for both Linux and Windows. Packages containing pre-compiled binary images to be loaded onto the hardware platforms are supplied for each configuration. Like any open source software ARTIQ can equally be built and installed directly from `source <https://github.com/m-labs/artiq>`_. ARTIQ is supported by M-Labs and developed openly. Components, features, fixes, improvements, and extensions are funded by and developed for the partnering research groups. Technologies employed include `Python <https://www.python.org/>`_, `Migen <https://github.com/m-labs/migen>`_, `MiSoC <https://github.com/m-labs/misoc>`_/`mor1kx <https://github.com/openrisc/mor1kx>`_, `LLVM <http://llvm.org/>`_/`llvmlite <https://github.com/numba/llvmlite>`_, and `Qt5 <http://www.qt.io/>`_.
