Real Time System Architectures and Intelligent Signal Processing
Oral presentation
This paper will provide an overview of the various real-time software processes which are distributed across ITER. This begins with the software processing done at a diagnostic level to process the initially acquired data and produce a meaningful signal for plasma control, which is typically a physics measurement (e.g. the plasma current). These signals are used -among many others- in central...

Control, Monitoring,Test and Real Time Diagnostics Systems
Oral presentation
In a magnetically confined tokamak reactor, the Plasma Current and Shape Controller (PCSC) is the component of Plasma Magnetic Control (PMC) that commands the voltages applied to the poloidal field coils, to control the coil currents and the plasma parameters, such as the plasma shape, current, and position. The PCSC acts on the system pre-stabilised by the Vertical Stabilisation controller,...

Data Acquisition
Oral presentation
The large amount of data generated by image diagnostics used in big physics experiments requires an efficient use of hardware technologies in real time data acquisition and processing applications. In order to get the best performance of the hardware, it is necessary to provide the hardware and software tools that enable a fast and easy way to deployment these kind of solutions. IRIO...

Data Acquisition
Oral presentation
The recently established sPHENIX Collaboration at RHIC is upgrading
the PHENIX detector in a way that will enable a comprehensive
measurement of jets in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The upgrade
will give the experiment full azimuthal coverage within a
pseudorapidity range of $-1.1 < \eta < 1.1$. In addition to measuring
heavy-ion collisions, the new apparatus will provide enhanced...

Oral presentation
The GigaTracker (GTK) system is a magnetic spectrometer made of 3 detector stations and 4 achromat magnets for the NA62 experiment. NA62 aims to measure the branching ratio of the ultra-rare ${K}^{\pm}\rightarrow {\pi}^{+}\nu \bar{\nu}$ at the CERN SPS. The detector measures the momentum, direction and crossing time of all the secondary beam charged particles. The detector has to cope with a...
