Developer's meeting

Wednesday 16 Jan 2019, 17:00 → 18:00 Europe/Zurich

Present: Enrico, Roland, Milo, Phil, Fatih, Frank

Fatih has just joined Nikhef to work on the FELIX+CPU option.

Developments at EHN1:

• Phil: no progress yet with artdaq crashes (may benefit from CM to consult with experts)
• Enrico: want to revisit multi-DMA transfers
  • also setting up a test system (lab in building 21), for easier testing
• Roland:
  • now using a single FELIX host and a single BR host
    • want to see how much of the BR computing can be pushed back to the FELIX host (but may not be easy)
  • NetIO updates
  • modifications to boardreader to allow run stop/restart without shutdown

Aim to provide relatively complete documentation of functionality & limitations
gitlab could be a suitable medium?

Meeting schedule: clash with ProtoDUNE sim/reco meetings is undesirable
Frank will circulate a doodle poll with a few alternative slots [done]

DUNE CM / DAQ WS:

• Phil has asked to give a presentation on s/w trigger primitive finding
• the agenda also features at least one item on FELIX "as is" development, we may want to make use of that
