ROOT and PROOF

ROOT (== ROOT Object Oriented Toolkit) is an Open Source analysis environment developed at the European Center for Nuclear Research CERN in Geneva. It is based on a C++ interpreter - cint - which is versatile enough to be used as an extension module for compiled programs and which can itself be extended with compiled libraries. With a few million lines of code it is also one of the largest Open Source projects available. PROOF (the Parallel ROOT Facility) allows to do distributed analysis of (very) large datasets in a Grid environment, using ROOT.
