DAQ Progress
Graham gave a quick overview of recent DAQ progress. Many DAQ group members have been on vacation recently, though.
- EMU
- tested using simulated ROC input and real data transport.
- shell written in Java, calls C++ routines via JNI.
- receives and builds ok, now needs to work on send module.
- implements runtime choice of in/build/out modules.
- full prototype expected by Sep 2008, on schedule.
- needs to work out strategy for global configuration change.
- 200 kHz test
- hardware coming along - TI, FADC
- readout libs in good shape
- two-crate test by Fall 2008
- CODA 3 ROC is moving along, but slowly
- Manpower needed - admin agreed to new hires but no money yet. No hires means slower progress.
- Linux ROC readout libs - problem with manufacturer's VME library, no Endian swapping! Hope for correct version soon, if not can kludge something up.
Online Farm in Computer Center
We had a long discussion on this, and identified many pros and cons.
- no savings on sys admins, as we would be charged for "work for others."
- but may be more efficient, as many sys admins might share the load.
- have to identify a clear advantage to H-D to do this - none identified yet.
- will we get 24/7 response from CC sys admins?
- what would be the role of the H-D sys admin?
- what might be located in the CC: farm, EB's and ER's, other stuff?
- how to get 3 GB/s from H-D to CC, and what does it cost?
Elliott will look into cost of transport, Graham will work on manpower issues related to this.
