6. Performance measurements
Total throughput measurements were performed to confirm
that the performance requirements from MLF for the DAQ uni
were met. We measured total throughput while increasing to 30
NEUNET emulators, three network switches and a PC with a DAQ
unit (Fig. 4). The NEUNET emulators, including data generation
function, were implemented on FPGA starter kits. Table 1 shows
the parameters of testbed. To emulate a standard PC at MLF, the
number of CPUs and the memory size were limited (4 CPUs
2GB RAM).
