  38. VME vs. xTCA +Number of new developments decreasing, sales still constant + Many I/O modules available − Developed in 1981 − Bus technology has speed limitations − Wide busses create a lot of noise in analog channels − No standard management at crate level − No standard management at module level − One damaged bus line stops entire crate Data Acquisition Systems - Ryan Rivera

  39. VME vs. xTCA + Scalable modern architecture • From 1 slot MicroTCA to full mesh ATCA + 1 Gbps serial communication links + Standard PCIe and Ethernet communication+ Well defined management + Hot-swappable + Safe against hardware/software failures + 99.999% availability is possible Data Acquisition Systems - Ryan Rivera

  40. VME vs. xTCA − Many crates and modules from different manufacturers • Is there a 'standard' ? − Learning curve to software/hardware specifications − Need functional MMC/IPMI code for power delivery − Imposed system management Data Acquisition Systems - Ryan Rivera

  47. Design Philosophy • Commercial Slow Control hardware and software is used for development • needed early, can’t wait for custom HW/SW • hopefully, utility extends into production and running • LabVIEW or EPICS • Embedded Processors • use commercial modules if possible to allow early software development • embedded Ethernet and HTTP with eye towards debugging ease Data Acquisition Systems - Ryan Rivera
