The workshop will have presentations and discussions on:
  • Introduction to Infiniband
  • Status of Infiniband technology (including relative to Ethernet) and what's coming in the next 3 years
  • The challenge of future DAQ systems
  • Current plans or use of Infiniband for DAQ in CBM (@Fair), CMS, LHCb and ALICE
  • InfinBand Technical topics:
    • InfinBand concepts and architectural details
    • Quality-of-Service, virtual lanes, and service levels
    • Flow control and congestion management
    • Software APIs
    • Network topologies and scalability in large systems, mixed IB and Ethernet systems
    • Network monitoring
There will be a workshop dinner Monday evening.
