[Ftk_hardware] At this Thursday FTK meeting: talk by Yasu on Data Formatter study using real data

[Tiehui Liu]

Dear All,

Since his first talk at FTK meeting, Yasu has done a lot work to study the Data Formatter bandwidth requirements using real beam data, both at FPGA/board level as well as at system level. 
This is work in progress, but I think that the studies are advanced, complete and interesting enough to give a good status/summary report. The results also give us a pretty good idea
about the bandwidth requirements both upstream and downstream of Data Formatter layer, using real beam data...  scaling up to 14 TeV at high pile up.

To complete the picture, Jamieson will give a brief update on the layout status of the prototype Data Formatter board, and also initial firmware considerations for the core routing algorithm. 

cheers,

Ted
