Physics model based beam tuning applications are essential for complex accelerators. Traditionally, such applications acquire lattice data directly from a persistent data source and then carry out model computation within the applications. However, this approach often suffers from poor performance and modeling tool limitation. A better architecture is to offload heavy database query and model computation from the application instances. A database has been designed for hosting lattice and physics modeling data while a set of web based services then provide lattice and model data for the beam tuning applications to consume. Preliminary lattice and model services are based on standard J2EE Glassfish platform with MySQL database as backend data storage. Such lattice and model services can greatly improve the performance and reliability of physics applications.
