Dataflow Software

Overview

• Present system requires several LynxOS processors, each emulating a component of the final Readout Crate: ROBs, trigger module, event builder interface, crate controller (LDAQ), etc
• We require a system running in a single processor
• They have started to collapse their system into a single processor but more work is required
• Also the design requirements in the ROD crate may be different

Timescales

• Until April 2000, all their effort is concentrated on the L2/DAQ technical proposal - ie agreeing what a readout crate will look like
• At least three months work (probably needing help from subdetectors) is anticipated to produce a dataflow solution suitable for ROD crates
• Some subdetectors want a DAQ -1 style test beam DAQ for summer test beams...but this may be optimistic
