Abstract:

Next version of High-Flex based on a new family of FPGA/System-on-Chip is currently under final development. The goal of this thesis is to design both a FPGA and a system-on-chip infrastructures for the next generation of photon science experiments. The FPGA architecture consists of a high-throughput based on PCIe Direct Memory Access (DMA) architecture for a board to high-end GPU compute node communication. To transfer data between remote systems, a board-to-board communication has been implemented by full-duplex optical communication based on Aurora 64b/66b. The system-on-chip infrastructure is enhanced by the embedding of Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) to allow a direct integration of the system within a slow-control accelerator system. An on-FPGA web-server side application has been developed to allow users an easy access to the detector system by simple web-browser, therefore avoiding any installation of dedicated software.
