10 Gbps TCP/IP streams from the FPGA for the CMS DAQ Eventbuilder Network
/ Bauer, Gerry (MIT) ; Behrens, Ulf (DESY) ; Branson, James (UC, San Diego) ; Chaze, Olivier (CERN) ; Cittolin, Sergio (UC, San Diego) ; Coarasa Perez, Jose Antonio (CERN) ; Darlea, Georgiana Lavinia (MIT) ; Deldicque, Christian (CERN) ; Dobson, Marc (CERN) ; Dupont, Aymeric (CERN) et al.
For the upgrade of the DAQ of the CMS experiment in 2013/2014 an interface between the custom detector Front End Drivers (FEDs) and the new DAQ eventbuilder network has to be designed. For a loss-less data collection from more then 600 FEDs a new FPGA based card implementing the TCP/IP protocol suite over 10Gbps Ethernet has been developed. [...]

10~Gbps TCP/IP streams from the FPGA for High Energy Physics
/ Bauer, Gerry (MIT) ; Behrens, Ulf (DESY) ; Branson, James (UC, San Diego) ; Chaze, Olivier (CERN) ; Cittolin, Sergio (UC, San Diego) ; Coarasa Perez, Jose Antonio (CERN) ; Darlea, Georgiana Lavinia (MIT) ; Deldicque, Christian (CERN) ; Dobson, Marc (CERN) ; Dupont, Aymeric (CERN) et al.
The DAQ system of the CMS experiment at CERN collects data from more than 600 custom detector Front-End Drivers (FEDs). During 2013 and 2014 the CMS DAQ system will undergo a major upgrade to address the obsolescence of current hardware and the requirements posed by the upgrade of the LHC accelerator and various detector components.

Automating the CMS DAQ
/ Bauer, Gerry (MIT) ; Bawej, Tomasz Adrian (CERN) ; Behrens, Ulf (DESY) ; Branson, James (UC, San Diego) ; Chaze, Olivier (CERN) ; Cittolin, Sergio (UC, San Diego) ; Coarasa Perez, Jose Antonio (CERN) ; Darlea, Georgiana Lavinia (MIT) ; Deldicque, Christian (CERN) ; Dobson, Marc (CERN) et al.
We present the automation mechanisms that have been added to the Data Acquisition and Run Control systems of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment during Run 1 of the LHC, ranging from the automation of routine tasks to automatic error recovery and context-sensitive guidance to the operator. These mechanisms helped CMS to maintain a data taking efficiency above 90\% and to even improve it to 95\% towards the end of Run 1, despite an increase in the occurrence of single-event upsets in sub-detector electronics at high LHC luminosity..

The Data Acquisition system of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at
CERN assembles events at a rate of 100 kHz, transporting event data at
an aggregate throughput of 100 GByte/s.
%
We are presenting the design of the 2nd
generation DAQ system, including studies of the event builder based on
advanced networking technologies such as 10 and 40 Gbit/s Ethernet and
56 Gbit/s FDR Infiniband and exploitation of multicore CPU
architectures. [...]

Prototype of a File-Based High-Level Trigger in CMS

The DAQ system of the CMS experiment at the LHC is upgraded during the
accelerator shutdown in 2013/14. To reduce the interdependency of the DAQ
system and the high-level trigger (HLT), we investigate the feasibility of
using a file-system-based HLT. [...]

Health And Performance Monitoring Of The Online Computer Cluster Of CMS

The CMS experiment's online cluster consists of 2300 computers and 170 switches or routers
operating on a 24-hour basis. This huge infrastructure must be monitored in a way that the administrators
are pro-actively warned of any failures or degradation in the system, in order to avoid or minimize
downtime of the system which can lead to loss of data taking. [...]

The CMS experiment at the LHC uses a two-stage trigger system, with events flowing from the first level trigger at a rate of 100 kHz. These events are read out by the Data Acquisition system (DAQ), assembled in memory in a farm of computers, and finally fed into the high-level trigger (HLT) software running on the farm. [...]
