49. Soft Error Rate Estimations of the Kintex-7 FPGA within the ATAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter

Helio Takai (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))

Oral

There is great interest in using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) within high-energy physics experiments due to their reconfigurability, ease of use, and support for high-speed serial I/O. SRAM-based FPGAs, however, are susceptible to radiation induced single event upsets. This paper estimates the soft-error upset rate of the Kintex-7 FPGA within the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter...

87. 10Gbps TCP/IP streams from the FPGA for the CMS DAQ Eventbuilder Network

Oral

For the upgrade of the DAQ of the CMS experiment in 2013/2014 an interface between the custom detector Front End Drivers (FEDs) and the new DAQ eventbuilder network has to be designed. For a loss-less data collection from more then 600 FEDS a new FPGA based card implementing the TCP/IP protocol suite over 10Gbps Ethernet has been developed. We present the hardware challenges and protocol...

114. APEnet+ 34 Gbps Data Transmission System and Custom Transmission Logic.

Andrea Biagioni (INFN)

Oral

APEnet+ is a point-to-point, low-latency, 3D-torus network controller integrated in a PCIe Gen2 board based on Altera Stratix IV FPGA. We characterize the transmission system (embedded transceivers driving external QSFP+ modules), analyzing signal integrity, throughput, latency, BER and jitter at different data-rate up to 34Gbps. We estimate the efficiency of custom logic able to sustain...

177. A Real-time Histogramming Unit for Luminosity and Beam Background Measurements for each Bunch Crossing at the CMS Experiment

Marek Penno (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

26/09/2013, 16:05

Oral

The Real-time Histogramming Unit (RHU) is a VME board for sampling and processing discriminated signals from detectors in real time and free of dead-time. The RHU is used at the CMS experiment to measure the arrival time of signals from the BCM1F detectors relative to the orbit trigger of the LHC at CERN. The RHU incorporates a FPGA, 21MBit memory and an embedded Linux system for readout. For...
