Description

We are building a data acquisition system for the new Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab, which will acquire data from 24 calorimeters as well as tracking and auxiliary detectors read out in microTCA waveform digitizers at an expected rate of 18 GB/s. The system will be comprised of multicore CPUs with GPUs for data processing. The experiment is expected to begin data taking in early 2017.
