Christian Huitema Financial Mathematics JOINT ERCIM ACTIONS European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics Number 37 April 1999 www.ercim.org FRONT PAGE he last 15 years saw the development of the Internet, and more generally of data services. I usually try to explain this development by quoting Ttwo strong forces, Moore’s law and Metcalfe’s law. As predicted by Moore’s law, the power of microprocessors has been regularly doubling about every 18 months for the past 25 years, the trend continues, computers are Christian Huitema, becoming much more powerful and affordable, and will pervade many more chief scientist at the places. The networking effect often referred to as Metcalfe's law states that the Telcordia (former value of a computer network grows as the square of the number of connected Bellcore) Internet elements. This law resonates with one of the principles of the Internet, the trend Ar c h i t e c t u r e to connect all computers on earth to a single network, and may well largely Research Laboratory, head of the explain the success of the Net. In any case, we observe that data transmission already RODEO research team at INRIA accounts for more volume than voice transmission, and grows much faster. from 1986 to 1996: “Next Generation Networks” Today’s telecommunication network have been designed to transmit voice, with data as an add-on service. But, at the current growth rate, in a few years, voice will only SPECIAL: represent a small fraction of the global traffic. It will then not make sense to maintain a voice network, and we will see an inversion of the current situation: voice will run as an application within network primarily designed for data. Networking Technologies 8 Next Generation Networks represent the convergence of multiple independent networks including voice, video and data into a single, unified, broadband network. C O N T E N T S The broadband network is built using optical fibers, waveband digital multiplexing, Joint ERCIM Actions 2 ATM switches or IP routers.

Technical Reference Digital Library goes On-line by Antonella Andreoni, Carlo Carlesi and Pasquale Pagano One of the declared aims of ERCIM is to advance European research and development in the areas of information technology and applied mathematics. It is thus extremely important that results of the R&D activities carried out at the ERCIM member institutions can be made immediately available to the interested scientific community in an easily accessible form. For this reason, ERCIM has set up a digital library service for the technical reports and other similar reference material European IT scientific community.

  • The IEEE 1355 Standard: Developments, Performance and Application in High Energy Physics
    The IEEE 1355 Standard: Developments, Performance and Application in High Energy Physics Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Stefan Haas December 1998 The IEEE 1355 Standard: Developments, Performance and Applications in High Energy Physics Stefan Haas The data acquisition systems of the next generation High Energy Physics experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will rely on high-speed point-to-point links and switching networks for their higher level trigger and event building systems. This thesis pro- vides a detailed evaluation of the DS-Link and switch technology, which is based on the IEEE 1355 standard for Heterogeneous InterConnect (HIC). The DS-Link is a bidirectional point-to-point serial interconnect, operating at speeds up to 200 MBaud. The objective of this thesis was to study the performance of the IEEE 1355 link and switch technology and to dem- onstrate that switching networks using this technology would scale to meet the requirements of the High Energy Physics applications. The performance and reliability of the basic point-to-point interconnect technology over elec- trical and fibre optic media were examined. These studies were carried out while the IEEE 1355 standard was still being finalised and have therefore provided valuable input to the standards working group. In order to validate the fibre optic physical layer proposed for the IEEE 1355 standard, an implementation demonstrator of a DS-Link interface for fibre optics, employing a new line encoding scheme, has been designed and characterised. This interface allows the link length for DS-links to be extended, which is important in the HEP context, where the cable length from the detector to the electronics can be up to 200 meters.

  • Ethernet for the ATLAS Second Level Trigger
    Ethernet for the ATLAS Second Level Trigger by Franklin Saka Royal Holloway College, Physics Department University of London 2001 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract In preparation for building the ATLAS second level trigger, various networks and protocols are being investigated. Advancement in Ethernet LAN technology has seen the speed increase from 10 Mbit/s to 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gigabit/s. There are organisations looking at taking Ethernet speeds even higher to 10 Gigabit/s. The price of 100 Mbit/s Ethernet has fallen rapidly since its introduction. Gigabit Ethernet prices are also following the same pattern as products are taken up by customers wishing to stay with the Ethernet technology but requiring higher speeds to run the latest applications. The price/performance/longevity and universality features of Ethernet has made it an interesting technology for the ATLAS second level trigger network. The aim of this work is to assess the technology in the context of the ATLAS trigger and data acquisition system. We investigate the technology and its implications. We assess the performance of contemporary, commodity, off-the-shelf Ethernet switches/networks and interconnects. The results of the performance analysis are used to build switch models such that large ATLAS-like networks can be simulated and studied. Finally, we then look at the feasibility and prospect for Ethernet in the ATLAS second level trigger based on current products and estimates of the state of the technology in 2005, when ATLAS is scheduled to come on line.

Filmskapande följer många gånger en särskild process (ofta med en tydlig hierarki av specialister inom produktionsgruppen) och berättelsen har traditionellt sett berättats från en part till den andre – från producenten/regissören till publiken. Men internets intåg har i många avseenden förändrat filmindustrin, vilket har öppnat upp för en ökad dialog mellan dessa två parter, vilket har omformat publikens position till en mer medskapande sådan. Detta har resulterat i en större demokratisering av filmmediet, där den en gång passiva publiken nu involverar sig mer i den kreativa filmskapandeprocessen.
