Some CBLT Tests
CBLT32 timing tests:
Scope plot of *AS line during CBLT32, 56 word transaction
(Hit Count Buffers),
with 4 boards in crate (slots:7,10,16,21) and our old
Crate CPU.
- 225 ns per 32-bit VME word. => 17.78 MB/s on the backplane.
Scope plot of *AS line during CBLT32, 166 word transaction
(Hit Data Buffers - same event),
with 4 boards in crate (slots:7,10,16,21) and our old
Crate CPU.
- 229.52 ns per 32-bit VME word on average => 17.47 MB/s
on the backplane;
- the 4.5 ns difference comes from the *AS getting High
for 180 ns after each group of 64 words.
CBLT32/64 timing tests:
Hit Count Buffers, 2 boards:
CBLT32 - 112 Bytes
CBLT64 - 128 Bytes
Hit Data Buffers - 2boards:
CBLT32 - 416 Bytes => 18.22 MB/s on the backplane
*AS line:
CBLT64 - 416 Bytes => 35.86 MB/s on the backplane
*AS line:
