Abstract
ATM switching fabrics are good candidates to implement high performanc e parallel event builders for the future data acquisition systems in p article physics experiments. We are studying their feasibility through simulations and implementation of event builder demonstrators. We pre sent results from performance measurements made with a demonstrator ba sed on a commercial ATM switch and on network interfaces that we have developed. The measurements are compared with the simulation studies a nd their scalability is discussed.
