The Event Handler II a Fast, Programmable, CAMAC-Coupled Data Acquisition Interface

Camac - a New Ieee Modular Digital Interface Standard

Introduction Standardization has not always been a powerful force in electronics. However, recently the IEEE has adopted two standards in the area of digital interfacing, a field where great potential benefit exists in standardization. The first, IEEE STD-4%-19n, provides a standardized interface for programmable instruments and has been described in previous Spectrum articles. The second, IEEE...

Data Path Processing in Fast Programmable Routers

Internet is growing at a fast pace. The link speeds are surging toward 40 Gbps with the emergence of faster link technologies. New applications are coming up which require intelligent processing at the intermediate routers. Switches and routers are becoming the bottlenecks in fast communication. On one hand faster links deliver more packets every second and on the other hand intelligent process...

Data acquisition with the SCINET, a scalable-coherent-interface network

The goal of the SCINET project is to investigate the applicability of the scalable-coherent-interface (SCI) for data-acquisition systems in large-scale fusion-reactor experiments. SCI is a standardized, high-speed interconnect for peripheral devices, processors, memories, PCs and workstations that provides for a distributed shared memory with optional cache coherence between computing nodes. Up...
