Description

In phase 2 of the NEMO neutrino telescope project a tower holding 32 optical modules is operated since march 2013. A new, scalable Trigger and Data Acquisition System (TriDAS) has been developed and extensively tested with the data from this tower. Adopting the "all data to shore" approach, the NEMO TriDAS is optimized to deal with a continuous data-stream from off-shore to on- shore with a large bandwidth. The TriDAS consists of four computing layers: (i) data aggregation of isochronal hits from all optical modules; (ii) data filtering by means of concurrent trigger algorithms; (iii) composition of the filtered events into post-trigger files; (iv) persistent data storage. The TriDAS implementation is reported together with a review of dedicated on-line monitoring tools and networking architecture.
