Sammanfattning
In this work, two synchronization layers for timing systems in large experimental physics control systems were studied. White Rabbit (WR), which is an emerging standard, is compared against the well-established event-based approach. Several typical timing system services have successfully been implemented on an FPGA to explore WRs concepts and architecture, which is fundamentally different from an event-based one. The requirements for the implemented prototype were decided based on typical requirements of current accelerator projects and with regard to other parameters, such as scalability and commercial availability. The proposed design methodology and prototype demonstrate one way of deploying WR in future accelerator projects.
