Usage of DABC in software development for CBM DAQ
نویسندگان
چکیده
The CBM readout controller board (ROC) was developed to control nXYTER-based [1] front-end electronics and deliver data from the nXYTER to a PC via Ethernet. A first version of PC software libraries (ROClib [2]) for communication with the ROC was implemented. Then a significant redesign of this software was required because new ROC firmware will support various kinds of front-end electronics and optic transport from ROC to PC. It was necessary to separate the communication (transport layer) from the device-specific controlling and configuration (application layer).

Developments for a future DAQ framework DABC
The Data Acquisition Backbone Core DABC will provide a general software framework for DAQ tasks over the next years. It serves as test bed for FAIR detector tests, readout components tests, data flow investigations (switched event building) and DAQ controls. Specifically, the system must be able to handle a triggerless experiment with large data bandwidth like CBM [1]. Additionally, it is neces...
متن کاملDABC as data acquisition framework for CBM
For development of the different software components for the CBM readout controller (ROC) [1], the Data Acquisition Backbone Core (DABC) [2] was used. The ROC board was primarily developed to read out data from nXYTER-based frontends. With a new FPGA firmware the readout of GET4/FEET frontends is also possible [3]. In addition to the existing Ethernet based data transport, an optical fibre data...
متن کاملDABC data acquisition input for slow control variables
The Data Acquisition Backbone Core (DABC) is a software framework to run DAQ with distributed event building on high performance Linux clusters [1]. There are several use cases, especially in test beam times where the setup during data taking is intentionally changed very often, and the interpretation of the acquired detector data depends on the experimental set-up. Usually, the set-up is manag...
متن کاملPrototype Results of an Optical Communication Network for the CBM DAQ-System
For the CBM Data Acquisition (DAQ) System a specific protocol has been developed considering the special demands of limited area for hardware, radiation tolerance, support for different types of network traffic and the need of synchronization mechanisms. Within the CBM network only a single bidirectional fiber link is used for the three network traffic classes: Data Transport Messages (DTM), De...
متن کاملInfiniband cluster for Future DAQ
The data acquisition for future experiments at FAIR requires a fast and relatively large network farm for event data transport from front-end electronics to the computing nodes where further event analysis can be performed. The CBM experiment, for example, produces about 1 TB/s of raw data rate, which should be switched in such event building network (B-Net). This requires to build a system wit...
