Abstract

A data acquisition system of the OKA experiment on studying rare kaon decays on the U-70 accelerator is described. The basis of the blocked data acquisition system was the high-speed multichannel information system MISS with autonomous controllers that read out the front-end electronics in the sequential data reading mode and buffering data during the accelerator burst. Data stored in the buffer memory are read out and processed at the end of the accelerator burst. The DATE package builds subevents from event fragments and events from subevents via the event building network. The event building network with the star topology is made with 1GbE-interfaces and 24 × 1 Gb E-switch. The GlusterFS cluster file system underlies the distributed storage system.
