Hall D Electronics:
Hi Elliott -
a few small comments about the latest version of your document.
Page 1, 3rd paragraph. The GlueX detector not the Hall D detector,
its CLAS in Hall B and GlueX in Hall D..
Page 2, Trigger section, same comment as above.
Page 14, paragraph after the bullets
"....data must be considered ..."
^^
"alarmed on in real time ...."
XX remove on
"... one a run" --> "once per run"
"once per shift"
"once per day"
Page 18, Hall networking bullet:
100Mbit is very old and GB is now the norm. Should
say "networks faster than 1GB will be the standard by the time
we purchase"
Our computing bullet.
quad-core is now the standard. 6-core is supposed to be end of 2009 and
8-core by 2012. It is a very safe assumption that dual 8-core machines or better will
be the standard by the time we purchase.
These machines are also now available at a reasonable cost. Over the last
6 months, I have purchased 256 cores (dual quads) at cost of about $2500 per 8 core
box. You should reword this section a bit.
Cheers -- Curtis
