  15. Answers (1) • What is the expected usage of the backplane? • ATCA IPM control of blades. • Blade & FE LTDB configuration & monitoring via base interface. • Data collection via fabric interface. • Do you use the fat pipes. If yes which protocol? • For the time being we are thinking 10 GbE. • Would you agree for a control through Ethernet? • Yes, we plan it that way! • Do you use synchronisation signals and common clocks? • No common clock for operation of blades. • TTC for clock transmission to FE and Evt signature at FE & BE. • Do you plan to use redundancy and/or hot swapping • Hot swapping YES, redundancy NO. • Do you plan full mesh or dual star backplane? • Full mesh, though we are using a dual star architecture, as it can do both. Possible VME Replacement for the ATLAS upgrades G.Perrot

  16. Answers (2) • Do you need a local processor? • For the time being we don’t think so. • Which shelf manager do you plan to use? • The one that will come with the shelf (we have Pigeon Point). • Which IPMC do you plan to use? • We are developing an IPMC and are planning to use it. • Typical expected power consumption? • No idea yet, but probably quite a lot: 200 W/blade => 2.8 KW ??? • Which crate size to you plan to use (i.e. how many slots available)? • ATCA format with 14 slots + shelf manager. • Do you plan implementation with AMC mezzanine and a mother board? • We are planning to have 4 AMCs on an ATCA carrier blade. Possible VME Replacement for the ATLAS upgrades G.Perrot

  17. Answers (3) • How sure are you that you need ATCA. Could you envisage µTCA? • We went straight for ATCA as we have a very big number of channels. • A study would be needed to understand data throughput on the uTCA backplane compared to ATCA, nb of slots needed, xTCA switches and external switches. We haven’t done that! • Do you need zero, one or more ATCA switch blades in your ATCA shelf? Which kind of switch? • To get the bandwidth for data collection we need 2 switch blades (10GbE) 12 in (fabric) / 12 out (front). • GbE for the control of blades via base interface. • TTC distribution ?????????   • Which MMC do you want to use on your AMC or in uTCA? • We are planning to use the DESY/CPPM/CERN design.

  18. Summary • A basic BE system will be installed in 2013-14 using our ROD Evaluator (2 blades). • The Digital Trigger system in 2018 (Phase I) will allow us to develop, test and master all the technologies needed for the Phase II developments (replacement of FEBs and RODs) • It will also allow us to understand what is the best compromise in term of density, power consumption, data collection.
