Since the 1U sized computers don't have enough slots to hold the host interface board, RFM card, and a dolphin card, we had to move the 2U computer from the end to middle to replace c1sus.
We're hoping this will reduce the time associated with reads off the RFM card compared to when its in the IO chassis. Previous experience on c1ioo shows this change provides about a factor of 2 improvement, with 8 microseconds per read dropping to 4 microseconds per read, per this elog.
So the dolphin card was moved into the 2U chassis, as well as the RFM card. I had to swap the PMC to PCI adapter on the RFM card since the one originally on it required an external power connection, which the computer doesn't provide. So I swapped with one of the DAC cards in the c1sus IO chassis.
But then I forgot to hit submit on this elog entry.............. |
