(1) Commercially available interface card: ODIN (speed: 160MB/s)
(2) Now also commercially available interface card: HOLA (speed: 160MB/s)
(2) New modified HOLA card by Fukun Tang at U. of Chicago (for Atlas, can be used at CDF as well. the prototypes tested successfully with Pulsar, Oct. 2003): HOLA with two outputs
(1) Commercially available Simple S-LINK to PCI interface card: SSPCI (speed: up to 120MB/s). This interface card has been around for many years and many experiments (within and outside HEP) have used it. We will use this interface card for our teststand application. Software (drivers) can be found for Linux , NT , LynxOS, Vxworks.
(2) Commercially available 32-bit S-LINK to 64-bit PCI interface card(S32PCI64): S32PCI64 (speed: up to 160MB/s). This is the high speed follow up of the SSPCI. There is a paper on S32PCI64 design. Also See recent PCI performance tests for ATLAS readout, and a talk presented at ROD workshop in Feb. 2002.
(3) Not yet (but almost, as of Sept. 2004) commercially available PCI interface card: FILAR. The FILAR is a highly integrated PCI interface that can move data from up to four HOLA S-LINK channels to a 64-bit PCI bus that runs at 66 MHz. Four HOLA Link Destinations are integrated on the FILAR. The channels are fully compatible to the HOLA Link Source Cards and can receive data at a speed of up to 160MB/s. The main features of this interface are: (1) highly autonomous data reception; (2) reception speed independent of interrupt or polling latency; (3) interrupt generation selectable on reception of one or several data blocks, link down, space available in Request FIFO and others; (4) control words stored independently from data; (5) four integrated optical HOLA Link Destination interfaces; (6) throughput of each input link up to 160MB/s;
