With the ICE-DIP project reaching its end date, we will be holding a two day event including a final joint work session with the Fellows, a supervisory board meeting, and a public presentation session.
The public session, open to any interested participants, will be held in the afternoon of September 14th in room 513-1-024.
Please consult the tentative agenda from the menu on the side and don't forget to register if you wish to take part.
Please bring some cash CHF.
Transport will be organised with private cars from CERN to the restaurant at 19h.
Please bring some cash CHF.
In this talk we discuss the feasibility of replacing telecom-class routers with a topology of commodity servers acting as software switches in data acquisition. We extend the popular software switch, Open vSwitch, with a dedicated, throughput-oriented buffering mechanism. We compare the performance under heavy many-to-one congestion to typical Ethernet switches and evaluate the scalability when building larger topologies, exploiting the integration with software-defined networking technologies.
Please note that David Malone will speak on behalf of Grzegorz Jereczek.
Silicon photonics (SiPh) is currently being investigated as a promising technology for future radiation hard optical links. The possibility of integrating SiPh devices with electronics and/or silicon particle sensors as well as an expected very high resistance against radiation damage make this technology particularly interesting for potential use close to the interaction points in future in high energy physics experiments and other radiation-sensitive applications. The presentation will summarize the outcomes of the research on radiation hard SiPh conducted within the ICE-DIP projected.
The need for FPGAs in DAQ is a given, but newer systems needed to be designed to meet the substantial increase in data rate and the challenges that it brings. FPGAs are also power efficient computing devices. So the work also looks at accelerating HEP algorithms and integration of FPGAs with CPUs taking advantage of programming models like OpenCL. Other explorations involved using OpenCL to model a DAQ system.
In this talk I will present my efforts to implement a data transfer mechanism for the Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor and its integration in the ZeroMQ message queue library. The latter is used extensively at CERN to support online and offline processing. Finally I will share my experience in the CERN openlab ICE-DIP project.
This talk briefly discusses the vectorization problem and how it impacts scientific and engineering systems. A simple cost model of designing such system in context of different phases of software lifetime is considered. Finally a concept for scalable solution is presented.
