TB2004 DAQ Code Development

• Status Prospect

2
Contents

• TB status
• run control
• peripheral/FED crate
• DAQ column
• HCAL integration prospect
• idem

3
1 Emu RunControl

• a.k.a TrackFinder GUI
• XDAQ v2 framework
• fully operational and tested

4
1 PC/FED Control Status

• new CCB, new TMB, various firmware upgrades (TMB,
  DMB, MPC)
• 4 chamber 1 RPC readout
• single/multiple crate configuration
• updates fed back to DCS (new hardware)
• DCS integration initiated
• communication protocol between DCS and PC-control
• TMB timing tools, derived from PC-lib

5
1 EmuDAQ Column

• CMS DAQ structure
• XDAQ v2 platform
• EVBOut/BU/RU/EmuFED column fully operational
  tested

6
1 EmuDAQ Column (contd)

• EventBuilder
• adaptation by Ichiro Suzuki
• prototype for CMS, used by HCAL too.
• Full EmuDAQ column tested
• No more time for SPFED column integration
• SPFED has still VME-based readout (as opposed to
  DDU)
• DDU-to-BigPhysArea kernel module issue
• most likely an SMP kernel problem, resulting in
  BigPhysArea data corruption
• issue solved for EmuFED-standalone and
  EmuDAQ-column data.
• provisional fix (memory leak in return)
• however, eth_hook still capable of hanging a
  (random?) process resulting in 100 cpu-usage on
  one of the 4 CPUs.

1 EmuDAQ TB2004 Data

• 130Gb of data collected in various DAQ modes
• raw reader from bigphysarea device
• debugging purposes
• EmuFED-based standalone reader
• debugging purposes
• EventBuilder based EVB output
• official output

• data sample sizes
• ddudumper (raw reader)
• 64Gb
• hardwareDumper
• 57.4Gb
• EVBOutput
• 11Gb
• SPFed data
• 0.5Gb

2 HCALEMU integration prospect

• Continue integration TFFED event building
• hook-up the SPFED DAQ column (DDU or VME?)
• Integrate with HCAL EventBuilder
• make sure we are still on the same track
• Continue to investigate DDU-to-BigPhysArea
• Fully integrate DCS and PC-control
• have both use the same library
• prevents out-of-phase and parallel development of
  software for the same hardware
• allows easier solutions for PC access control
• DCS-control of PC access
• Continue to enhance existing and develop new
  features for (Emu) RunControl
• configuration and conditions dBase updates
• Start actively documenting all relevant modules.
• doxygnize the code

2 HCALEMU Fall Test Questions

• Dynatem-360 replacement?
• API is needed well ahead of time
• significant effect on DCS and PC-control
• HAL based?
• New DDU/DCC
• API is needed, preferably ahead of time
• SP readout through DDU?
