520 3 |a The STAR experiment is one of the two large detectors currently being built at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York, USA. The major issue of STAR̀s DAQ is the large amount of data that has to be processed as fast as possible. The required data rate is of the order of 90 Gbits/s which has to be processed and scaled down to about 15 MBytes/s and stored to tape or other permanent archiving media. To be able to do so the STAR DAQ uses a custom built ASIC which preprocesses the raw data for later use by a software Level 3 trigger. The Level 3 trigger selects events to be archived depending on physics criteria based upon the particle track information extracted during Level 3 processing. The design presented is a massively parallel multi-processor system which consists of front end microprocessors hierarchically organized within a VME crate system. Each VME crate contains 6 custom made Receiver Boards with 3 Intel I960HD processors per board for a total of 18 processors per crate. The STAR̀s TPC detector uses 24 such crates and the SVT detector will use 4 crates for a total of 504 microprocessors.
