Description
EJFAT ( ESnet / Jefferson Lab's FPGA Accelerated Transport ) protocol is a scalable, terabit-scale streaming and load-balancing protocol for transporting DAQ ( Data Acquisition ) samples into a cluster of compute resources, over the wide-area network. This entails unique design choices in the protocol's design. In this poster session, we present that design, the choices that need to be made, and the rationale behind them. We also present the current state of our deployment and three scientific use cases across several Department of Energy ( DOE ) labs, and supercomputing centres. We introduce improvements in the frame format, Reed Solomon FEC protection, multi-user resource allocation, and E2SAR the primary API and protocol for originating and terminating data flows into EJFAT. All EJFAT source code is available as open source. EJFAT is also operated as a live service by ESnet for use by DOE scientists and international collaborators.
