ROOT - A C++ Framework for Petabyte Data Storage, Statistical Analysis and Visualization

Understand

ROOT is an object-oriented C++ framework conceived in the high-energy physics (HEP) community, designed for storing and analyzing petabytes of data in an efficient way.

• Any instance of a C++ class can be stored into a ROOT file in a machine-independent compressed binary format.
• In ROOT the TTree object container is optimized for statistical data analysis over very large data sets by using vertical data storage techniques.
• These containers can span a large number of files on local disks, the web, or a number of different shared file systems.
