2. HLT Collaboration (23-Jun-15) 2 HLT LHCC Milestones - status 542: RORC PPR (FPGA decision), Sep-05 –A number of suitable FPGAs were evaluated and a preliminary decision was taken. –The H-RORC design is progressing and details are being optimized such as packaging and chip size versus cost. We expect to have a small number of prototype modules ready for the RORC PRR in September 2005.DONE 543: HLT PRR (including network), Apr-06 –A number of HLT integration tests and data challenges have been and are currently being conducted. Most components are available to date. –We expect to have a prototype available in due time for the PRR. Delayed 1 month 544: Start of HLT commissioning, Sep-06 –This milestone requires the first batch of all production modules to be available, allowing 4 months for the production of the HLT specific hardware, such as the RORCs, which is feasible. STARTED 545: HLT with full connectivity - approx 30% computing power, Apr-07 –The required compute power for the first running will be evaluated and decided by the collaboration. Noting that the HLT can be segmented into independent sub-parts, for instance serving a TPC sector each, the commissioning can be well done between Sept-06 and April-07 ON TRACK 546: HLT fully installed for HI (3 months prior scheduled full HI run), Apr-08 –This milestone basically requires the ordering and installing of the remaining computer resources (PCs) and their infrastructure, which does not present a particular challenge.
