Needed Hardware
Disk.
- Constants: See DataBase talk. E.g. 1MByte/pattern set. Need to have many sets ready (), e.g. precalculated for different beam positions. Best guess now: 2~3 GB.
- Data: spool area where to keep Spy Buffer dumps for offline investigation: again a few GB.
Computer.
- One place where to gather pieces from all CPU’s (event builder), and store data to be served to various monitor tasks (buffer manager).
- Could be a piece of a large system
- But maybe our software will take time to get stable and system will crash often… better a separate workstation. How powerful ? I wish I knew.
