Gaines, I

Our subgroup of working group 4 concerned itself with general architectural issues for SSC data acquisition. Fiber optic buses were described in two talks, and software and project management were discussed in a separate subgroup. These topics are covered in separate papers. A number of different issues were considered with certain natural difference of opinion, and a list of projects needing further R and D is given at the end of this paper. The major conclusion, however, can be simply states and was agreed to unanimously: that the SSC data acquisition systems can achieve much higher data rates than those assumed at previous workshops. On-line processor farms of 10/sup 5/ VAX equivalents (throughout this paper we will use VAX 11/780 units as a performance standard) are quite conceivable, and data recording rates of between 100 and 1000 Hz will be feasible. 2 figs.
