We used SystemC as modeling platform to investigate a candidate architecture for the PANDA DAT system. We simulated the behavior of the complete system with simplified models of all the components. The model covers detector buffers connected via Ethernet to farms of computing nodes constituting two filtering levels and an event building level.

Data collected from infrasound microphones are presented online by the infrasound monitoring system operating in Northern Europe,Swedish-Finnish Infrasound Network (SFIN). Processing the continuous flow of data to extract optimal feature information is important. Using wavelet decomposition as a tool for removing noise from the real-time signals is an alternative. The purpose of this paper is to present the design and FPGA implementation of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for real-time infrasound data processing, in which only two FIR filters, a high-pass and a low-pass filter, are used. With the filter reuse method and techniques such as pipeline, basic operations, by the language VHDL on the platform QUARTUS II,FPGA simulation and implementation are fulfilled. This implementation takes advantage from the low sampling rate used by the infrasound monitoring system that is only 18 Hz.","PeriodicalId":217483,"journal":{"name":"2007 15th IEEE-NPSS Real-Time Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129186369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Together with the existing system it provides improved fake track rejection at level 1. In addition, the high resolution segment information is delivered to the Level 2 processors, where software algorithms perform three-dimensional stereo track reconstruction. The 3D-tracks are further extrapolated to the electromagnetic calorimeter towers and muon chambers to generate trigger electron and muon candidates. The invariant mass of track pairs and track isolations are also calculated and used in the level 2 trigger decision.
