Hi,

I'm working in a research physic laboratory. We use Ada for our new 
acquisition system (Narval). The system is a set of process coordinated 
at low speed by annex E of Ada 95. For hight speed data transfert we use 
socket and unix fifo.

At the start of the project only our local particule accelerator used 
it, but now we have the responsibility of the data flow of an european 
detector named AGATA (220 Kg of very pure germanium, 180 detectors, 7000 
channels). The system will have to handle about 13,5 GBytes/s out of the 
electronics boards down to many CPU farms, the system will have to 
process them and store data at 100 MBytes/s. Others physic teams also 
use it now for their experiments.

If somebody wants more information just email me.

Cordially, xavier grave
PS: I also work on an OS written in Ada, but this is for fun, not (for 
the moment :) ) a project supported by my laboratory.
