An example of an FPGA based application for a high-energy physics experiment is presented which features all facets of modern FPGA design. The special requirements here are high bandwidth (2.16 Tbit/s), low latency, and flexibility in the processing algorithm. The input data come optically via 1 080 links operating at 2.5 Gbit/s. The whole system is partitioned hierarchically in 18 groups of 5+1 modules...
The High Level Trigger (HLT) system of the ALICE experiment is an online event filter and trigger system designed for input bandwidths of up to 25 GB/s at event rates of up to 1 kHz. The system is designed as a scalable PC cluster, implementing several hundred nodes. The transport of data in the system is handled by an object-oriented data flow framework operating on the basis of the publisher-subscriber...
The ALICE detector is a dedicated heavy-ion detector currently built at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The detector control system (DCS) covers the task of controlling, configuring and monitoring the detector. One subsystem is the control system for the front-end electronics of the time projection chamber (TPC). It controls in total 216 readout system with 4356 front-end cards serving roughly...
