Hi Mike,

These are the questions we got from Darin for tomorrow (we haven’t gone through any trigger breakout talks yet).

Stephanie 

6.81. 
- I am missing what is the size/scope of this optical plant. Maybe in terms of fibers in/out, bundles in/out, amount of rack space, or something like that to get a sense of scale of this project. Perhaps comparisons to prior projects?
- What sort of design parameters still need to be defined (perhaps at an upcoming PDR/FDR)?

6.8.3. 
- What defines what are the firmware deliverables, e.g. for the different release versions (v1, v2, v3)? Or at least is this documented somewhere. 
- What HDL languages are used for the firmware deliverables, and do you have any concerns on the use of languages like HLS?
- What is the interplay between the scientific labor and the engineering labor for the algorithm and firmware deliverables? Are there dependencies on the scientific labor? 
- With the unfortunate loss of engineers in the last year, what steps is the project taking to ensure efficient ramping up of the new personnel, and what mechanisms to assess technical progress on a timely basis?

Hi All,

 

Tom LeCompte said he would gather the homework questions at their executive session and send them to me. I will distribute them when I get them. Remember we have 11:15-12:15 tomorrow set aside to answer Committee questions.

 

Any feedback we should know about coming from your breakout sessions?

 

Cheers, Mike
