The PHOBOS Event Builder System Update: 05/22/98
- The PHOBOS DAQ equipment at Yale has been moved to BNL (except for the
MVME 2306 PowerPC VME board which is at Rochester). Here is an
inventory of the items.
- CODA now runs on a Sun workstation at Rochester
(phobos.nsrl.rochester.edu). A mock readout test using an MVME2306 readout
controller housed in a Struck SFI340 module in a FASTBUS crate was performed
successfully. The PowerPC board can communicate interactively with FASTBUS
modules via VxWorks using the "fbp" utility.
- The Sun HPC 3000 server is now named phobosx.chm.bnl.gov. We performed
a mock readout of data from an MVME 2604 readout controller with a fast
ethernet pmc over a fast ethernet hub and were able to achieve rates of
5.5 Mbyte/s. Here are some of my ideas for
further improvement.
