Conclusions

• Demonstrable need for real-time control at the LHC

• Essential requirements established.

• Foresee dual system:

  • real-time for purposes outlined above
  • non-deterministic but high bandwidth for non-critical monitoring, command flow, post-mortem etc. etc.

• Accept RT is necessary, form WG under auspices of LHC-CP, ask them to investigate possible architectures�

• Much work already done in prototyping possible system, however technology choice can wait. Final architecture will clearly take into account such things as:

  • cost
  • reliability
  • maintenance
