Welcome to the SERENITY Technical Specifications!

Scope of this Document

This document describes the basic functionality and technical specifications of the SERENITY read-out board. Three of the stand-out features are:

• High throughput data processing (acting as a data engine) - up to 10Tbps/board.

• Adaptable daughter cards and flexibility - choice of FPGA and customisable architecture/topology.

• The firmware/software framework is written in a versatile “operating system” manner, which should greatly reduce low level development times (and infrastructure overhead), allow high level interfacing (C++/python) and with the feature of algorithmic payloads which can be uploaded and modified independently (required for track finding in CMS).
