Abstract

The ultra-wideband real-time data acquisition (DAQ) system has started its operation at LHD steady-state experiments since 2004. It uses CompactPCI standard digitizers whose acquisition performance is continuously above 80 MB/s for each frontend, and is also capable of grabbing picture frames from high-resolution cameras. Near the end of the 8th LHD experimental period, it achieved a new world record of 84 GB/shot acquired data during about 4,000 s long-pulse discharge (#56068). Numbers of real-time and batch DAQ were 15 and 30, respectively. To realize 80 MB/s streaming from the digitizer frontend to data storage and network clients, the acquired data are once buffered on the shared memory to be read by network streaming and data saving tasks independently. The former sends 1/ thinned stream by using a set of TCP and UDP sessions for every monitoring clients, and the latter saves raw data into a series of 10 s chunk files. Afterward, the subdivided segmental compression library“titz" is applied in migrating them to the mass storage for enabling users to retrieve a smaller chunk of huge data. Different compression algorithms, zlib and JPEG-LS, are automatically applied for waveform picture and data, respectively. Newly made utilities and many improvements, such as acquisition status monitor, real-time waveform monitor, and 64 bit counting in digital timing system, have put the ultra-wideband acquisition system fit for practical use by entire stuff. Demonstrated technologies here could be applied for the next generation fusion experiment like ITER.
