11. DEPARTEMENT DE PHYSIQUE NUCLEAIRE ET CORPUSCULAIRE Daniel Haas, EUDET Annual Meeting, Oct 2008 Page 11 Current Achievements & Goals Implemented DAQ Architecture is robust, multi-platform, scalable, simple-to-use and adoptable to different users Offline processing fully on the GRID, using ‘standard’ ILC software Lots of documentation now available Current Speed achieved: ~600 Hz (2 boards/Mimotel) in ZS mode Goals (for FP6): –1 kHz –more documentation (code) Goals are (nearly) achieved see http://projects.hepforge.org/eudaq and http://www.eudet.org

12. DEPARTEMENT DE PHYSIQUE NUCLEAIRE ET CORPUSCULAIRE Daniel Haas, EUDET Annual Meeting, Oct 2008 Page 12 User integration Creating new Producers for users is harder than it needs to be Currently each Producer requires it’s own Event data type, but they all do the same thing Need to provide a generic RawDataEvent (similar to universal reader) –Can store arrays of raw data of variable size –Has a tag with the format of the data (EUDRB / DEPFET etc.)

13. DEPARTEMENT DE PHYSIQUE NUCLEAIRE ET CORPUSCULAIRE Daniel Haas, EUDET Annual Meeting, Oct 2008 Page 13 Get ready for final chip EUDRB + newly designed digital daughter card (Baseline): Current VME driver could transfer data from 6 cards at around 1 kHz To achieve more, we need: –decoupling of input/output buffer in EUDRB (boards should be ready for the next frame immediately after having finished the current frame) –multi-event buffer in the EUDRB and 2e SST

14. DEPARTEMENT DE PHYSIQUE NUCLEAIRE ET CORPUSCULAIRE Daniel Haas, EUDET Annual Meeting, Oct 2008 Page 14 Roadmap Next 6-9 months should bring final readout We are busy to get ready for this If other JRAs want to use our DAQ, they should provide manpower for implementation changes (we are willing to help) We should discuss requirements (dedicated meeting with TPC after this meeting)
