Industry and Industry collaboration

Poster presentation

As experiment data volumes in Nuclear Physics continue to rise – by some estimates up to 3 orders of magnitude this decade - the development of data streaming and data management capabilities has taken on new importance. Traditionally Data Acquisition (DAQ) readout has been facilitated through software embedded in the instrument or direct register readout via bus systems such the Versa Module...

Emerging Technologies, New Standards, Feedback on Experience

Poster presentation

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,...

26. Keeping track of the Tracker: The ITk Production Database

Emerging Technologies, New Standards, Feedback on Experience

Poster presentation

The ATLAS experiment will be upgraded within the next decade for the high luminosity LHC upgrade. The high pile-up interaction environment (on average 200 interactions per 40MHz bunch crossing) requires a radiation hard tracking detector with a fast readout. The Inner Tracker (ITk) upgrade is entering the production phase in an international effort to produce more than 27,000 detector modules...

12. Modular Hardware, Firmware, and Control-System Integration: Lessons from Commissioning the Fast Beam Interlock System at ESS

Dr Stefano Pavinato (European Spallation Source)

Emerging Technologies, New Standards, Feedback on Experience

Poster presentation

The Fast Beam Interlock System (FBIS) at the European Spallation Source (ESS) is a distributed, safety-critical system that collects status information from multiple accelerator subsystems and, when unsafe conditions arise, stops both the machine and the proton beam within microseconds. During the ESS commissioning process, from integration testing to full beam operation, FBIS was developed...

16. Towards Virtualized 100+ Gbps Data Acquisition Software Systems

Dr Jalal Mostafa

Emerging Technologies, New Standards, Feedback on Experience

Poster presentation

Modern detectors in scientific infrastructures yield data at higher rates and in larger volumes. Despite the extensive data reduction on detector electronics, scientists employ software-based functions, e.g., high-level triggers, for further online data reduction that run on a dedicated computer cluster located at the scientific infrastructure's site. As a consequence, scaling, operating, and...

28. Upgrading the Timing System of ASDEX Upgrade

Emerging Technologies, New Standards, Feedback on Experience

Poster presentation

At the fusion experiment ASDEX Upgrade numerous subsystems contribute to plasma discharges (e.g. more than a hundred data acquisition systems). These systems need to operate time-synchronous for successful discharges and a common time base is necessary for the evaluation of measurement data. The current timing system was based on custom build hardware, as no off-the-shelf solution was...
