    Large-scale DAQ tests for the LHCb upgrade

    No full text
    The Data Acquisition (DAQ) of the LHCb experiment[1] will be upgraded in 2020 to a high-bandwidth trigger-less readout system. In the new DAQ event fragments will be forwarded to the to the Event Builder (EB) computing farm at 40 MHz. Therefore the front-end boards will be connected directly to the EB farm through optical links and PCI Express based interface cards. The EB is requested to provide a total network capacity of 32Tb/s, exploiting about 500 nodes. In order to get the required network capacity we are testing various technology and network protocols on large scale clusters. We developed on this purpose an Event Builder implementation designed for an InfiniBand interconnect infrastructure. We present the results of the measurements performed to evaluate throughput and scalability measurements on HPC scale facilities

    The LHCb DAQ Upgrade for LHC Run3

    No full text
    In order to optimize the physics reach in the large hadron collider (LHC) Run3, foreseen in the years 2021 and beyond, the LHC beauty experiment collaboration has decided to re-design its detector and the data acquisition system (DAQ). The new detector will operate at the LHC bunch-crossing frequency of 40 MHz without hardware trigger. The implementation of the DAQ and the online event filter farm (EFF) for the software trigger is challenging because of the expected data rate of about 40 Tb/s. At this scale, the DAQ and the EFF can be built at an affordable cost only by using off-the-shelf hardware as much as possible. In order to optimally exploit the fast evolution of technology, we need to choose the system architecture at the last moment. Therefore, it should not have strong dependences on specific technologies. We present here the system architecture, the different implementation options that we are studying along with measurements from these studies, and will explain the decision criteria and technology drivers for choosing the components for the final system

    Flit-Level InfiniBand Network Simulations of the DAQ System of the LHCb Experiment for Run-3

    No full text
    The Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment is designed to study the differences between particles and antiparticles as well as very rare decays in the charm and beauty sector at the (LHC). The detector will be upgraded in 2019, and a new trigger-less readout system will be implemented in order to significantly increase its efficiency and fully take advantage of the provided machine luminosity at the LHCb collision point. In the upgraded system, both event building and event filtering will be performed in software for all the data produced in every bunch-crossing of the LHC. In order to transport the full data rate of 32 Tb/s, we will use custom field-programmable gate array (FPGA) readout boards (PCIe40) and the state-of-the-art off-the-shelf network technologies. The full-event-building system will require around 500 servers interconnected together. From a networking point of view, event building traffic has an all-to-all pattern, requiring careful design of the network architecture to avoid congestion at the data rates foreseen. In order to maximize link utilization, different techniques can be adopted in various areas like traffic shaping, network topology, and routing optimization. The size of the system makes it very difficult to test at production scale, before the actual procurement. We resort, therefore, to network simulations as a powerful tool for finding the optimal configuration. We will present an accurate low-level description of an InfiniBand-based network with event building like traffic. We will show a comparison between simulated and reduced scale systems and how changes in the input parameters affect the performance

    High throughput data acquisition with InfiniBand on x86 low-power architectures for the LHCb upgrade

    No full text
    The LHCb Collaboration is preparing a major upgrade of the detector and the Data Acquisition (DAQ) to be installed during the LHC-LS2. The new Event Builder computing farm for the DAQ requires about 500 nodes, and have to be capable of transporting order of 32 Tbps. The requested performance can possibly be achieved using high-bandwidth data-centre switches and commodity hardware. Several studies are ongoing to evaluate and compare network and hardware technologies, with the aim of optimising the performance and also the purchase and maintenance costs of the system. We are investigating if x86 low-power architectures can achieve equivalent performance as traditional servers when used for multi gigabit DAQ. In this talk we introduce an Event Builder implementation based on InfiniBand network and show preliminary tests with this network technology on x86 low-power architectures, such as Intel Atom C2750 and Intel Xeon D-1540, comparing measured bandwidth and power consumption
