confmodel

This package contains the 'core' schema for the DUNE daq OKS configuration.

The top level of the schema is the Session which defines some global DAQ parameters and has a relationship to a single top-level Segment. It also has a list of disabled Resources. It is intended that parts of the DAQ system that are not required in the current run are simply disabled rather than deleted from the database altogether.

A Segment is a logical grouping of applications and resources which are controlled by a single controller. A Segment may contain other nested Segments. A Segment is a Resource that can be enabled/disabled, disabling a Segment disables all of its nested Segments.

The Application class has attibutes defining the application's application_name (executable name) and commandline_parameters. Its application_environment relationship lists environment variables needed by the application in addition to those defined by the Session. An example Python script that prints out the environment for enabled applications in the Session is provided in the scripts directory.

Readout Map

The detector to DAQ connections are described using different types of Resources. Each DetectorToDaqConnection contains one ResourceSetAND containing one or more DetDataSenders and one DetDataReceiver. The DetectorToDaqConnection is a ResourceSetOR, meaning that if either the receiver or all the senders are disabled, then also the connection is disabled.

Each DetDataSender contains a set of DetectorStreams, which consist of a Resource associated to one GeoId.

Finite State Machines

Each controller (RCApplication) uses one FSMConfiguration object that describes action, trasnisions and sequences.

Notes

VirtualHost

The idea is that this decribes the subset of resources of a physical host server that are available to an Application. For example two applications may be assigned to the same physical server but each be allocated resources of a different NUMA node.

DaqApplication and DaqModule

The DaqApplication contains a list of DaqModules each of which has a list of used resources. The DaqApplication provides a method get_used_hostresources which can be called by appfwk in order to check that these resources are indeed associated with the VirtualHost by comparing with those listed in its hw_resources relationship.

NetworkConnection

Describes the connection type and points to the Service running over this connection.
