Switched interconnection of parallel processes (SWIPP) used for detector data readout and partial event-building for LHC

Conference ·
OSTI ID:54163

This paper presents a high-performance data acquisition architecture based on SWIPP. SWIPP (Switched Interconnection of Parallel Processors) is a high speed packet switching network being developed at the University of Oslo. An introduction to the main characteristics of SWIPP is given. Then follows a description on how SWIPP can be used for data readout and partial event building for the planned microstrip inner detector in the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) ATLAS experiment at CERN. Finally an implementation of a partial event buffer which meets the requirements of the above application, is described in some more details.
