Testing and development hosts with a FELIX card are the following:
-
CERN NP04
- np04-srv-028 - RM5 based test platform & hosting 2 FELIX cards (DS Intel Cascade Lake Gold, SNC2)
- np04-srv-029 - RM5 based test platform (DS Intel Cascade Lake Gold)
- np04-srv-030 - RM5 based test platform (DS Intel Cascade Lake Silver)
-
CERN DT-DI DAQ-lab
- epdtdi104 - RM5 based development platform (DS Intel Cascade Lake Gold, SNC2, with 1.5TB PMEM and 4TB NVMe)
- epdtdi105 - RM5 based development platform on mainline kernel (DS AMD EPYC with 20TB+ NVMe)
-
Bristol Lab
- it043261 - Host with ZCU102 to FELIX connectivity (Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 CPU with NVMe)
DS stands for: Dual Socket with 2 CPUs
SNC stands for: Sub-NUMA Clustering. SNC2 means 2 cluster per socket.
Commit hashes, build timestamps can be found based on the name and in the firmware itself.
