1. Introduction Ted Liu, FNAL Feb. 9 th, 2005 L2 Pulsar 2rd IRR Review, ICB-2E, video: 82Pulsar http://hep.uchicago.edu/~thliu/projects/Pulsar/L2_upgrade_meeting.html Materials for the review will be available at:

2. Last review was extremely useful! Are we ready for operation?  last time (Sept. 2004) I said no. this time: very close! What do we (pulsar group) expect from this review?  To review - Is the system robust enough for operation? - Is the current performance good enough for initial operation? - is there anything missing on our to-do-list in the coming month? (see Cheng-Ju’s talk) Our goal is still March …

3. Commissioning manpower One thing I am proud of:  many people are working on physics analysis, or taking class, or other tasks while commissioning the Pulsar L2 system in the past few months…even Sakari has been helping XFT and SVT upgrade work…  yet, we have achieved a lot Key to success: attract smart/talent young people!  highly productive and coherent team work …  need to keep the moment going …

4. L1 muon L1 XTRP L1 trigger L2 CAL (CLIST/Iso) PreFred ShowMax (RECES) PC SLINK TS SVT Muon Cluster Electron Merger SVT L2toTS To keep things simple: (1)Waiting for Reces data (2)Very simple PCI handling  Different from alpha case  Not optimal timing performance Baseline for operation Pulsar pre-processors

5. S32PCI64 allows CPU to process current event, while loading next (up to) 31 events … we only request one event at a time right now  will improve this later Alpha process current event, while loading next one… Slink to PCI Slink to PCI mem CPU PCI to Slink data L2 decision
