I noticed tutorial 5 seems to be a good starting place for learning about this, however on my system the .mdl file crashes upon opening with the latest main library (saw this with tutorial 3 and 4 as well), and the link to the c code that listens and saves the 10GbE data on the host machine

Any specific recommendations for a 10Ge NIC? Our sys admin is warning us about the compatibility with Red Hat (I think we are running red hat 6 on the computer we would like to stream to.) He had suggested that thishttp://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Myricom-Myri-10G-network-adapter/2034587.aspxmay

hi laura, some info on NIC's is at: https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/Recommended_10_GbE_Hardware but these part numbers are a bit old - there are several newer model NIC's available from both myricom and chelsio. i recommend myricom's NIC's. make sure you get one with CX4 port(s). chelsio works

Hello Laura, At UT Brownsville we use thishttp://www.colfaxdirect.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=958card on a machine running CentOS 5. Since CentOS is basically RedHat or Fedora, I don't think you'd have a problem with compatibility. -Louis P. Dartez On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at

Hi Laura, There are several open source protocols that are reliable even in long distances. All are reliable udp-based and constant bit-rate. In 2004 we got some 400 Mbps between Netherlands and Japan, doubled the american Internet2 traffic using two normal PCs. We used the tsunami

hi andy and others interested: i suggest we create a section on the casper wiki that documents the various open source programs that people have developed for receiving and processing10Gbit data on computers and GPU's. there's PSRDADA and GUPPI/VEGAS/HASHPIPE: PSRDADA was developed by matthew

Hey Andrew, Thanks for the reply - we are looking forward to the ROACH 2 in the future. I haven't been able to open all of the tutorials, but I have seen a few. So I apologize if I may have missed something obvious, and I would even really appreciate an answer that says hey you, go read about

hi laura, there are a couple of standard ways people stream data to the PPC and out over the network: ping pong memories - the FGPA write to memory A and then sets a flag saying memory A is full. the PPC code waits for this flag to be set and then moves memory A to

hi laura, i second john's remarks: an inexpensive 10Gbit nic card in your computer would make your data streaming task relatively easy, as there are tutorials and several instrument designs that stream data from a roach over 10Gbe into a computer. there's also a lot of good open source

Hey Casperites, I see a lot of data about reliable streaming using the 10GbE ports and a lovely simulink block to boot. Is there an analogous method for streaming data out over the 1Gbps ethernet? Not sure if someone has written some python control scripts to accomplish this - I may have just
