A brief history of SAD:

1. 1986: A project was started by K. Hirata, S. Kamada, K. Oide, N. Yamamoto, and K. Yokoya to develope a new code for accelerator design.
2. 1987: The first version of the new code ran on HITAC, with Lie methods, 6D tracking, and emittance calculation with beam matrix, under MAIN level.
3. 1988: An optics matching code FFS was installed. Applied for NLC/FFTB final focus system at SLACVM. The naming SAD was established.
4. 1989: FFS was modified to design a periodic optics. The initial version of KEKB ring was designed with SAD.
5. 1990: FFS was extended to x-y coupled optics with solenoid. FFS/COR orbit correction system was developed.
6. 1992: A spin calculation SODOM was first developed and linked with SAD.
7. 1993: Ahsad workstations started with four HP735/755s to separate SAD from HITAC.
8. 1994: Mathematica-style functions were introduced to FFS. TRISTAN started to use SAD for regular operation.
9. 1995: Acsad server started with DEC8000(7 CPUs). Taylor map, beam-beam was linked to SAD.
10. 1996: EPICS was first linked to SAD for KEKB control. Parallel processing was extensively used in tracking and optics matching.
11. 1997: Python and Tkinter were embedded in SAD/FFS. A few GUI libraries was built with them. Acsad was upgraded to 10 CPUs.
12. 1998: SAD/KBFrame has been applied for commissioning of KEKB Linac/Rings. Class function was introduced to support an object-oriented programming.
13. 1999: SAD was exported to Linuc/LinuxPPC by the g77 compiler. Acsad4 (21264,3CPU) joined to the SAD cluster.
14. 2000: Two Linux systems alsad1&2 joined the SAD cluster for the commissioning of KEKB.
15. 2001: Acsad5 joined. Ported to Mac OS X/Darwin.
