Description
The ATLAS Trigger and DAQ system is designed to use the Region of
Interest (RoI)mechanism to reduce the initial Level 1 trigger rate of
100 kHz down to about 3.3 kHz Event Building rate.
The DataFlow component of the ATLAS TDAQ system is responsible
for the reading of the detector specific electronics via 1600 point
to point readout links, the collection and provision of RoI to the
Level 2 trigger, the building of events accepted by the Level 2
trigger and their subsequent input to the Event Filter
system where they are subject to further selection criteria.
To validate the design and implementation of the DAQ DataFlow system,
a prototype setup representing 20% of the final system, has been put
together at CERN. Thisbaseline prototype contains 68 PCs running
Linux, and exchanging data via a 64-portand a 31-port Gigabit
Ethernet switches for Event Building and RoI Collection. The
system performance is measured by playing back simulated data through
the system andrunning prototype algorithms in the Level 2 trigger. In
parallel a full discrete event model of the system has been developed
and tuned to the testbed results as an aid to studying the system
performance at and beyond the size of the prototype setup.
Measurements will be presented on the performance of the prototype
setup, showing that the components of the current integrated system
implementation can already sustain the their nominal ATLAS
requirements using existing hardware and Gigabit network technology:
20 kHz RoI Collection rate per readout link, 3 kHz Event Building
rate and 70 Mbyte/s throughput per event building node. The use of
these results to calibrate the model will also be presented along
with the model predications for the performance of the final DAQ
DataFlow system.
