On-off line boundaries become flexible • Detectors are becoming more stable and less faulty • On-line processing power is increasing and use similar hw/sw components (PC farms..) • On-line calibration and correction of data possible • More complex analysis is moving on-line • Filter event • Sort data streams… Snowmass2001 - P.

  11. What next ? 2010-2020 • Next generation of machines • LC (Tesla,NLC,JLC) • Concept of « software trigger » • VLHC : like LHC • CLIC : < ns sec collision time! • Mu collider : Not invetigated yet! • Next generation of detectors : • Pixels trackers : ex 800 M Ch (Tesla) • Si-W calorimeters: 32 M Ch. (Tesla) • Very high luminosity > 10**34 • High or continuous collision rate (< ns) • multimillion Si read-out channels Challenges Snowmass2001 - P. Le Dû

  12. LC beam structure TESLA JLC (NLC) 5 Hz 150 Hz 2820 bunches 85 bunches / // / / // / 199 ms 6.6 ms • Relatively long time between bunch trains 199 ms • Rather long time between bunches: 337 ns • Rather long bunch trains ( same order as detector rerad-out time: 1ms 1ms 238 ns • Relatively long time between bunch trains (same order as read-out time): 6.6 ms • Very short time between bunches: 2.8 ns • Rather short pulses : 238 ns Snowmass2001 - P. Le Dû

  13. LC basic trigger concept : NO hardware trigger • Read-out and store front end digitized data of a complete bunch train into buffers • Deadtime free -- no data loss • DAQ triggered by every train crossing • build the event and perform zero suppression and/or data compression • full event data information of complete bunch train available • Software selection between train : software trigger • using « off-line » algorithms • Classify events according • physics, calibration and machine needs • Store events : • partial or everything! Snowmass2001 - P. Le Dû

  14. Advantages • Flexible • fully programmable • unforeseen backgrounds and physics rates easily accomodated • Machine people can adjust the beam using background events • Easy maintenance and cost effective • Commodity products : Off the shelf technology (memory,switches, procsessors) • Commonly OS and high level languages • on-line computing ressources usable for « off-line » • Scalable : • modular system Snowmass2001 - P. Le Dû

  15. Consequences on detector concept • Constraints on detector read-out technology • TESLA: Read 1ms continuously • VTX: digitizing during pulse to keep VTX occupancy small • TPC : no active gating • JLC/NLC : • 7 ms pulse separation • detector read out in 5 ms • veto trains • 3 ns bunch separation • off line bunch tagging • Efficient/cheap read-out of million of front end channels should be developped • silicon detectors ( VTX and SiWcalorimeters) Snowmass2001 - P. Le Dû

  16. Conclusion about LC triggers • Software trigger concept remains the ‘ baseline ’ • T/DAQ for the LC is NOT an issue ! • Looks like the ‘ ultimate trigger ’ • satisfy everybody : no loss and fully programmable • Feasible - (almost) today and affordable • Less demanding than LHC • Consequence on the detector design • constraint on detectors read-out electronics (trackers) • Consequence on the sofware environment: • on and off-line are merging : need to develop a complete integrated computing model with common ressources from calibration, selection (algorithms and filter) and analysis /processing paths…. Snowmass2001 - P. Le Dû

  17. Technology forecast (2005-2015)Fast logic & hardware triggering (L1) • Move to digital & programmable • ASICS not anymore developped • FPGA’s is growing and can embed complex algorithms Snowmass2001 - P. Le Dû

  18. Technology forecast (2005-2015)(Software trigger) Systematic use of : Off the Shelves comodity products • Processors and memories • Continuous increasing of the computing power • More’s law still true until 2010!  x 64 • Then double every 3years  • Memory size quasi illimited ! • Today: 64 Mbytes • 2004 : 256 MB • 2010 : > 1 GB • Networks:Commercial telecom/computer standards • Multi (10-100) GBEthernet • But : Software overhead will limit the performance… x 256 by 2016 Snowmass2001 - P. Le Dû

  19. About standards • Evolution of standards : no more HEP! • HEP : NIM (60s) CAMAC (70s), FASTBUS (80s), • Commercial OTS : VME (90s), PCI (2000)  CPCI? • Looking ahead: today commercial technologies • No wide parallel data buses in crates • Backplanes used for power distribution,serial I/O, special functions • High speeGb/s fiber & copper serial data links • Wireless data link emerging • Higher densities for micros,memories standards commercial part • Hundred of pin packages Snowmass2001 - P. Le Dû

  20. Transfer to other fields • Last year IEEE NSS-MIC Conference shows a great interest and a common interest • Medical Imaging as similar requirement as us for diagnostic TEP • Large data movment and on-line treatment • Fast selection and reconstruction Snowmass2001 - P. Le Dû

  21. Final Conclusions • Trigger/should not be an issue for the next generation of machines like LCs • Fully commercial OTS comodity components • Programmable & software triggers • On-line and Off-line boundaries become very flexible: need a new « computing model » • Challenges for 2020 • Very high luminosity > 10**34 • High or continuous collision rate (< ns) Snowmass2001 - P.
