D. Calvet et al., A STUDY OF PERFORMANCE ISSUES OF THE ATLAS EVENT SELECTION SYSTEM BASED ON AN ATM SWITCHING NETWORK, IEEE transactions on nuclear science, 43(1), 1996, pp. 90-98
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a candidate technology to implemen
t the high performance network in the data collection system for the A
TLAS experiment. This work presents the results of modelling and simul
ation studies which aim at integrating the detailed organization of th
e detector read-out, the trigger requirements and the capabilities of
ATM switching networks. The status of hardware development of small sc
ale demonstrators is outlined.
