  2. Introduction Motivation for the presence Cosylab timing projects Cosylab wishes for MRF future

  3. About Cosylab • we are now 85 and part of big projects • ITER, ESS, MedAustron, Solaris, FAIR…. • we like to do things efficiently and standardize solutions which we believe is the most efficient for community • my personal interest is timing-system standardization • and besides above there are many emerging; RISP, MYRRHA, BNCT where timing system shall be crucial part • we believe MRF is a very solid platform for timing system solutions

  4. Timing projects • ESS • after analyzing ESS needs we believe MRF FW upgrades are needed • we started with MRF “branch”, now we discussed with Timo to address this • MedAustron • highly customized, medical-suited FW upgrade of MRF • extended MRF to provide virtual accelerator service • 4PY put into real-time application layer for medical ramping-synchrotron accelerator • together with Jukka made PXIe EVR • RISP/RAON • compare MRF “off the shelf” and WR • we really appreciate MRF platform we can buy from Jukka • FAIR • it is WR, we are following this community and we understand situation • Solaris • MRF off the shelf + Tango • MYRRHA • MRF off the shelf + mrfioc2

  5. MedAustron REDNET 1x MRF EVG MRF network n-x MRF EVR REDNET = real-time event and data network requirement analysis, architecture design development (LV + FPGA), testing… effort: ~4 MY

  6. ESS timing system implementation using standardized EPICS Nominal Device Support additions to MRF FW with fallback sequences, data emission coupled with sequences, “MPS” PoC effort: ~1.5 MY

  7. RISP / RAON Requirements Compare MRF & WR Architecture

  8. Cosylab wishes for MRF future • data buffer emission done in RT (HW) and synchronized with sequencer(s) • sequencer gating in different modes (direct termination, graceful termination) • low level RT coupling with MPS • automatic propagation delay compensation • user trigger events with additional conditions for emission • trigger timing event, delay, number of repetitions, decimation • easier/standardized setup of the system - everyone needs to know the TS very well before "Hello World" can be made • Abstraction layer – integrator should deal with his needs not direct HW configuration • more complete SW support (additions to mrfioc2)
