TL;DR: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN as mentioned in this paper was designed to study proton-proton (and lead-lead) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon) and at luminosities up to 10(34)cm(-2)s(-1)

TL;DR: The architecture of the RCMS of the CMS experiment is described with particular emphasis on its scalability through a distributed collection of nodes arranged in a tree-based hierarchy.

TL;DR: Studies of an EVB test-bench based on 64 PCs acting as data sources and data consumers and employing both Gigabit Ethernet and Myrinet technologies as the interconnect are described and the expected performance of the full event builder is outlined.

TL;DR: The hardware/software package described in this paper emulates the central DAQ side of this interface at the data rate required by the final DAQ system.

TL;DR: The front-end electronics of the CMS experiment will be read out in parallel into approximately 650 modules which will be located in the underground counting room, which will provide the first step in the CMS event building process.
