It will show the development of a prototype distributed readout software system for an experimental facility at iThemba LABS. This work builds on an ongoing project known as the Dolosse Data Acquisition System and will focus on the development of a new distributed data acquisition readout software on the readout computer that is based on the project’s architecture. A new fragmented readout method is proposed to allow efficient data transmission using the open-source stream-processing software platform that can be used as an external memory buffer while still maintaining the real-time requirements of the system.
