  • Unified Synchronized Data Acquisition Networks
    UNIFIED SYNCHRONIZED DATA ACQUISITION NETWORKS Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften der Universität Mannheim vorgelegt von Frank Karl Wolfgang Gerhard Rolf Lemke (Diplom-Informatiker im Integrierten Diplomstudiengang Mathematik und Informatik) aus Mutterstadt Mannheim, 2012 Dekan: Professor Dr. H. J. Müller, Universität Mannheim Referent: Professor Dr. U. Brüning, Universität Heidelberg Korreferent: Professor Dr. R. Männer, Universität Heidelberg Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 30.11.2012 Abstract The permanently evolving technical area of communication technology and the presence of more and more precise sensors and detectors, enable options and solutions to challenges in science and industry. In high-energy physics, for example, it becomes possible with accu- rate measurements to observe particles almost at the speed of light in small-sized dimen- sions. Thereby, the enormous amounts of gathered data require modern high performance communication networks. Potential and efficient implementation of future readout chains will depend on new concepts and mechanisms. The main goals of this dissertation are to create new efficient synchronization mechanisms and to evolve readout systems for optimization of future sensor and detector systems. This happens in the context of the Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment, which is a part of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, an international accelerator facility. It extends an accelerator complex in Darmstadt at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenfors- chung GmbH. Initially, the challenges are specified and an analysis of the state of the art is presented. The resulting constraints and requirements influenced the design and development described within this dissertation. Subsequently, the different design and implementation tasks are dis- cussed.
