  • 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.
