Transcript of Weve participated in the ATLAS TDAQ Large Scale Tests and in the Inner Detectors Alignment effort...
We’ve participated in the ATLAS TDAQ Large Scale Tests and in the Inner Detector’s Alignment effort
We’ve initiated the development of the Temporal Instrumental Database (TIDB2) – a database C++ API for managing Interval of Validity (IOV) data, which uses a plug-in system to interface with several DBMSes (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, COOL) and data types (BUFR, GRIB, ROOT)
We’ve created a KDE/Qt-based browser (KTIDBExplorer) for database navigation. It uses TIDB2 for DBMS interface and its own plug-ins for visualization of extended data types, and will be the base of the
We’ve created the Online Asynchronous Interface to COOL (ONASIC), the successor to the TDAQ Online Conditions interface to log all information from the running Online system to the ATLAS Configuration Database
We’ve developed the OKS2COOL tool – an interface between the Configuration Database (OKS) and ATLAS’s Main Database (COOL)
We’ve developed, tested and validated the Local Trigger Processor Interface Module hardware electronics
We’ve designed a Local Trigger Processor Interface Module (LTPIM) prototype and the VHDL codes for the full VME slave interface and module control
Information Systems and Data Acquisition for ATLAS
What was achieved
What is proposedATLAS Databases: Test and validate ONASIC in the context of the TDAQ Online system and Configuration
Databases, and integrate in the TDAQ online software bundle Develop the Online Objects Extended Database Browser (NODE), based on KTIDBExplorer
– a TDAQ Monitoring Working Group tool for navigating COOL tables and displaying ROOT histograms
Test and validate OKS2COOL – the interface between the Configuration and Main ATLAS databases, in the context of the Configuration Database group
Develop a software tool (“Controller”) to perform stress tests on Offline Databases Research on a database interface for general scientific data objects (TIDB2). The task is
conducted locally but reported to the ATLAS online database group
First Level Trigger hardware electronics: Complete test, validation and documentation of the LTPIM including combined tests with
ATLAS test beam
Calibration and Alignment: Participation in the study and validation of the Calibration and Alignment strategies for the
ATLAS detector, namely the Inner Detector calibration stream. We seek to obtain Calibration and Alignment constants in 24 hours, to be used in the first-pass reconstruction
This team will maintain its decisive contribution to the advancement of knowledge in the domain of the information systems for HEP experiments, and will solidify its role in the necessary developments for the success of the ATLAS experiment
