| 释义 |
White Rabbit is the name of a collaborative project including CERN, GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research, and other partners from universities and industry to develop a fully deterministic Ethernet-based network for general purpose data transfer and sub-nanosecond accuracy time transfer. Its initial use was as a timing distribution network for control and data acquisition timing of the accelerator sites at CERN as well as in GSI's Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) project. The hardware designs as well as the source code are publicly available. The name of the project is a reference to the White Rabbit appearing in Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Focus and goalsWhite Rabbit provides sub-nanosecond synchronization accuracy, which formerly required dedicated hard-wired timing systems, with the flexibility and modularity of real-time Ethernet networks. A White Rabbit network may be used solely to provide timing and synchronization to a distributed electronic system, or be used to provide both timing and real-time data transfer.[2][3] The White Rabbit Project focuses on:
TechnologiesTo achieve sub-nanosecond synchronization White Rabbit utilizes Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) to achieve syntonization[4] and IEEE 1588 (1588) Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to communicate time. White Rabbit uses the Precision Time Protocol to achieve sub-nanosecond accuracy. A two-way exchange of the Precision Time Protocol synchronization messages allows precise adjustment of clock phase and offset. The link delay is known precisely via accurate hardware timestamps and the calculation of delay asymmetry. White Rabbit applicationsAt CERN White Rabbit was used for the new control system of the injector chain. At GSI White Rabbit will become the timing system of the FAIR complex. The KM3NeT neutrino telescope uses White Rabbit for synchronising the detector units.[5] The EISCAT 3D radar will utilise White Rabbit for synchronization in the beam forming network.[6] About 6000 detector nodes for the LHAASO (Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory) experiment are synchronized by White Rabbit network. At least two Cosmic Microwave Background research programs (Simons_Observatory, and CMB-S4) are considering White Rabbit for the timing of their data acquisition and control systems. Several companies[7] have begun to commercialise White Rabbit for commercial applications by developing their own White Rabbit hardware and software. The first white rabbit element on the white rabbit project was the "white rabbit switch", financed by The government of Spain and CERN, and produced by Seven Solutions. In years 2015-2016 White Rabbit was successfully deployed by Horizon 2020 Project DEMETRA service #3 and tested for distribution Galileo precise UTC using ground fiber service.[8] A White Rabbit timing networkIn a White Rabbit timing network a designated timing master node provides timing for the entire network. The timing master is syntonized with an atomic clock and is synchronized with a GPS receiver. Components of a White Rabbit network are multi-port White Rabbit Switches and single or dual-port White Rabbit nodes. Both components may be added dynamically to the network. Cable length and other delay factors are automatically compensated by the Precision Time Protocol algorithms. Though conventional Gigabit Ethernet devices may be connected as well only White Rabbit devices take part in network timing and synchronization.
