Implementing an application for visualizing the LHCb DAQ network

The supercomputer that is currently constructed at the LHCb will allegedly be the largest real-time data acquisition system in the world in 2021 and operates at very high speeds (up to 32 Tb/s). To avoid losing critical physics data through the network and to ascertain its high-speed real-time operation, the network has to be monitored carefully.

This project aims to design and build a GUI application that can visualize the DAQ network, the routing configuration in the switches, and conflicts with relevant details in the network for a given input traffic pattern. The end product can be used to monitor the high-speed network in real-time.
