  1. BTeV Availability Issues We don’t have problems any more,we have issues... 21 Aug 2001 M. Haney, University of Illinois

  2. Early on, high energy physicists found too many particles... fj D*2 Lc f3 f2 B h Sc w D* f4 f’2 W p2 a4 p f0 K* K3 S r h1 a1 a0 Bc h0 f1 K2 D1 w3 D2 Bs Ds K B* L K*2 w D K1 r3 a2 f h’ K*4 K*3 “the secret is to bang the rocks together…” Douglas Adams m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  6. - - - + + + + Linear Accelerator (concept) • if you match the frequency correctly, • the particle will “surf” the RF wave... m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  7. Linear Accelerator (practice) • LINAC at Fermilab(0.4 GeV) m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  8. bending magnet Accelerating section Focussingmagnets Vacuum tube (beam pipe) Synchrotrons m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  9. Fermi National Accelerator Lab • The ring is about 4 miles around... m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  10. - 2000 GeV 1000 GeV 1000 GeV + Two for the price of one • accelerate protons andantiprotons • same ring • oppositecharge,+ direction • bang themtogether... m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  11. 4p Detector • The typical arrangementis to wrap the detectoraround the interactionpoint: vertex(later…) CDF at Fermi m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  12. BTeV is rather different... protons antiprotons m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  13. Too much physics! • Let’s talk about computational requirements: • every 132ns, two “clouds of quarks”cross paths... • on the average, there will be 2 “events” (collisions) • 200 KBytes of data are produced per event m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  14. BTeV Data Path About 1 TByte of (distributed) buffer memory... m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  15. Why have a Trigger? • Compression is not enough • To get from 1.5 TBytes/sec from the detector, • to 200 MBytes/sec to tape, you need to: • identify/reject “boring” events • identify/accept/save-to-tape “interesting” events • keep extremely good records on every action! • All of the analysis is statistical • Bad statistics = Mission failure • Losing an event is survivable • Not knowing that you lost it, or why, is death m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  16. The BTeV Pixel Trigger • (there is also a Muon Trigger; there may be others...) • 2 KBytes/crossing (from Pixel Detector) • every 132ns... • Fast, pipelined FPGA(s) to sort,match up pairs and triplets between planes • DSP(s) to find tracks, compute vertex(s) • time available • <1 ms, from crossing to trigger “opinion” m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  17. Muon Preprocessor Pixel Preprocessor(FPGAs) Segment Preprocessor Segment Preprocessor(FPGAs) Detector Front End Board (DCB) Others... 1 Highway MTSM L1Buf PTSMRegionalControlandMonitoring L1Buf (raw) L1Buf (cooked) Crossing Switch /c/spot Muon DSP Farm BTeV Run Control L1Buf (basis) L1Buf (basis) Pixel DSP Farm(joint track+vertex) L1Buf (basis) L1Buf (details) Opinions GLSM L1Buf (basis) GL1 L1Buf (details) Accept/Reject Decisions Resource Mgr Requested/AssignedCrossing data L2/L3(Linux Farm) m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  18. Trigger Path Issues • direct (optical) link, front-end to FPGA-part • geographic specificity • Many-to-many interconnect, from FPGAs to DSPs • work assignments handed out, one crossing to each DSP • all FPGAs contribute to the “one crossing” • hence many-to-(one-of)-many • of)-many ~ 2500 DSPs (!) • no inter-DSP connection (needed…) m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  19. Trigger Path Issues (page 2) • DSPs to GL1 • each DSP offers one “opinion” per crossing • multiple triggers = multiple opinions • every 132ns • GL1 decides • accept/reject • based on the opinions received for that crossing • 7.6 million decisions per second m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  20. Trigger Path Issues (page 3) • Resource Manager • conveys GL1 decisions to L1 Buffers, • “push” (as opposed to “pull”) architecture • L1 Buffers deliver data to appointed L2 processor • Pentium-class Linux machine(s) • again, many-to-(one-of)-many • of)-many ~ 2000 Linux machines m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  21. Trigger Path Issues (page last) • L2 Processor is L3 Processor • sufficiently interesting eventsreceive additional (L3) processing • events that satisfy L3 are recorded to “tape” • or saved on disk, or burned to CD, or ... m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  23. Pixel (Muon) Trigger Supervisor Monitor (P/M)TSM • Control Functions: • Initialization • sets the maximum bandwidth necessary • can not take all day... • Command Parsing and Distribution • to subordinates, from RunControl • Error Response • autonomous, “local” (regional) • not to be confused with higher-level driven Error Handling, which appear as “Commands” m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  24. (P/M)TSM (continued) • Monitor Functions • Error Message Collection and Reporting • organized, formatted, sent higher up • Hardware and Software Status • not unlike Error Messages... • Status and Data Histogramming • utilizes remaining (P/M)TSM system bandwidth m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  27. Factoids • TMS320C67x DSP • ~70 Kbyte internal RAM, ~1200 MIP • fixed/floating point • TMS320C64x DSP • ~1 Mbyte internal RAM, ~3x faster… • fixed point only • times 2500 devices (!) • Sony Playstation 2.5K ? m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  28. More Factoids • Host Port Interface (TI DSP only) • almost-direct access into the DSP • peek, poke • uses DMA (like) resources… • (concept not unique to TI) • DMA • crossing data in • Buffered Serial Port(s) • opinions out; dual, ~75Mbps (C6x) m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  29. DSP/BIOS (Texas Instruments) • based on SPOX • “the oldest DSP RTOS…” • scalable real-time kernel • small footprint (< 2Kw) • preemptive multithreading • scheduling (tasks, soft/hard interrupts) • synchronization (between tasks, interrupts) • hardware abstraction • extensible m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  30. DSP/BIOS (continued) • real-time analysis • real-time instrumentation • explicit API calls • (controllably) implicit, at context changes • host-target communications • statistics gathering • same as above • host data channels • binds kernel I/O objects to host files m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  31. RTDX - Real Time Data Exchange • utilizes JTAG chain (and emulation bits) • target (kernel) component • moves messages to/from DSP/BIOS queues from/to JTAG-accessible buffer • “real time” target to host (?) • host component • data visualization and analysis tools • data to target “not” real-time… (?) m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  32. RTDX (continued) • fundamental (TI) model • one PC running CCS (or app with CCS API calls) • small number (4’ish) of DSPs on one JTAG chain • JTAG/emulator “pod” connects PC to chain • (2 “extra” emulation bits, in addition to TDI/TDO/TMS/TCLK) • BTeV challenge • not buying 500 PC’s to support 2000 DSPs… m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  33. BTeV Conclusion(s) • fierce data rates • massive parallelism • heterogeneous control-in-depth • limited loss-of-data (or performance) • tolerable • any loss of understanding • unacceptable m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01

  34. BTeV TimeTable • detailed technical design report • required Feb 2002 • R&D for TDR, now • to be operational in 2006 • http://www-btev.fnal.gov/btev.html m-haney@uiuc.edu 21aug01
