The buffer management scheme for the new Triumf VAX-based data acquisition and analysis system

  • 1. Triumf, 4004 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 2A3

Description

The new TRIUMF VAX-based DAAS requires data to be exchanged between acquisition, monitoring and analysis processes executing on a VAX. Data records are passed via a set of buffers contained in a region of memory shared by all processes. The responsibility for buffer management is distributed among the processes and synchronized access to the region is achieved by using the VAX self-relative queue instructions and common event flags
