(Developments in Data Acquisition Hardware and Software, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, Frankfurt W. Germany, Oxford, UK, April 4-15, 1989): Foreign Trip Report.

摘要

CERN visit included conversations with Dr. Christoph Eck and Mr. Timothy Charity of DD Division concerning new hardware architectures for data acquisition for the coming decade. The future of VMEbus, Futurebus, Fastbus, and VXIbus in the context of data acquisition was discussed, as well as support currently available for various microprocessor families, including several RISC architectures. Features of OS9, an operating system in use in two LEP experiments, were discussed. Discount schedules for DEC software and hardware at CERN were compared with discounts available at US DOE laboratories.
