| Title: | Real Time for Real-Time Networks / Clock Synchronization for the Large Hadron Collider in CERN |
| Abstract: | Real Time for Real-Time Networks Especially in industrial automation networks the matter of clock synchronization is of special importance. One of the most common applications is the use of synchronized clocks in such systems for real-time schemes like TDMA. Today, many wired industrial Ethernet products take advantage of such schemes as the Precision Time Protocol (IEEE1588). However, many drawbacks of these schemes exist, like fault-tolerance and the suitability for tomorrows\' flexible (wireless) factory. The presentation will cover these topics and give an outlook on future needs and demands for synchronized clocks.
Clock Synchronization for the Large Hadron Collider in CERN
White Rabbit (WR) is the project name for a ambiguous project that uses Ethernet as both, deterministic (synchronous) data transfer and timing network. The presented design aims for a general purpose, fieldbus like transmission system, which provides deterministic data and timing to approximately 1000 timing stations. |
| Biography: | Dr. Georg Gaderer, received his master degrees in electrical engineering and informatics as well as his PhD from Vienna University of Technology. After finishing his studies, he became a research assistant at the Institute of Computer Technology at the Vienna University of Technology. During that time his research interests where among various industry projects focused on remote energy meter reading and clock synchronization in powerline networks. In 2005 he joined the Austrian Academy of Sciences where he is currently head of the clock synchronization group, leading several clock synchronization related national and international research projects. Georg is part-time lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences FH-Campus Wien.
Patrick Loschmidt was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1977. He received the Dipl.-Ing. degree in electrical engineering from the Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria, in 2002. From 2001 to 2002, he was a research assistant at the Institute of Communication Networks, Vienna University of Technology, working in the area of FPGA design for high-speed optical network nodes. Since 2004, he is with the Institute for Integrated Sensor Systems, Austrian Academy of Sciences. He is currently leading research projects in the area of network-based high-accuracy clock synchronization. |
| Video: | MPEG-4 stream |
Note: Any avilable MPEG-4 video stream requires the latest QuickTime player to be installed, with a 256kbit/sec or faster connection to the network. Where indicated, some content (slides or video stream) is only available on the internal EEE departmental network.
