  • ROACH2
  • Not supportable under JASPER. SKA SA to add info to wiki to ID software

support.

  • About 1000 available from Digicom (lifetime buys of now obsolete components)
  • SKARAB is available from Peralex
  • HMC – up to 152 ES parts available, thereafter production 2G parts
  • ADC available – Yellow Block will be available if anyone requires it to use the

ADC

  • SNAP is available from Digicom
  • Contact Jack H fjrst to make sure about assembly options
  • SNAP2 is available from China Academy of Science
  • T
  • ol fmow is a work in progress – expected Q4 2017
  • VCU118: development board – Xilinx
  • T
  • ol fmow is a work in progress – UCB and SKA SA interested in this board
  • ADC’s to be listed on CASPER wiki – assume Yellow Block available if added

  • SNAP3
  • H/W Ready October 2017
  • SKARAB2
  • ~Q4 2018 (TBC)
  • Collaborators invited
  • SKARAB3
  • When 7nm devices become available
  • 15GSPS ADC
  • ASIAA
  • Bare PCB to be tested
  • FMC+ is a standard that could be used in CASPER
  • All planning to move to 100GbE – share lessons learned

H/W in development and Standards

  • Time and Frequency
  • White Rabbit
  • Freq distribution, synthesisers etc – to list these on the wiki, sharing of

experience

  • Memos, sharing of papers in this fjeld encouraged
  • GPU support
  • iWarp protocol
  • ROCE
  • Infjniband to FPGA is challenging, stick to Ethernet
