I am planning on a tech assess concall Monday at 10AM Pacific time.
Topics:
1. Summit-base communication. This can be done using either 10 - 1 Gb/s
links or a single 10 Gb/s link with a spare link. I would suggest
using both
links all the time and split the downlink load between them. This
will permit a
relatively fast detection of a failed link card at either end. Do the
2 different
connectivity plans require different types of fiber? If so, is the
premium for
10 Gb/s lines worth it? If the fiber cable is cut, it is faster to
splice together
a pairs of lines compared to 10 pairs. Perhaps Ron Lambert can go over
the power budget and margins for the 1Gb/s and 10 Gb/s solutions.
2. With the definition of the mountain-base baseline architecture,
one item to be defined
is the DAQ client that runs on the mountain Linux boxes and probably the
OCS/TCS systems as well. Some discussion about what this interface
might
look like would be good for everyone involved.
3. DC1 - Well, with the time spent on the baseline architecture, we
have pretty
much ignored DC1. If anyone other than Sergei has made any progress
on DC1,
please share it with the group.
4. Jeff has given me a budget for a software development system for
all the DM
developers. Given the budget number, I have a rough idea about what
we can
get. I would like to hear comments from anyone else on what they
think they
need.
5. Anything else anyone wants to discuss.
Don
