• Need to buy a big node (like hsd node) to hold 6 kcu cards
• dionisio says this mtp24 is only available in multimode:  https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Amphenol-FSI/10124588-310?qs=81r%252BiQLm7BSk9m%252B2puhj7Q%3D%3D
• feedthroughs may also be a problem.  Kaz is getting part number RETA-RIB-CF40-24-GI50-025-S70-MTPF (24 fibers) and RETA-RIB-CF16-12-GI50-025-S48-MTPF (12 fibers) from sedi-ati.com.  These two parts are similar to RETA-STANF21.208 (different length) and RETA-LBNL19.141 (different flange).

# Convert to ms/image/core
Given 4M pixels x float32 (4 bytes) = 32 MB/image,
89.89GB/32MB => 2809 images/s on 400 cores => 7 images/s/core => 142ms/image/core
For a 2M detector, this would take half the time => 71ms/image/core

This 71ms number + 20ms for calibration feels tight on 10 nodes.  Implies 10Hz per core, or 500 cores (8 nodes)

Schedule

(on Dec. 19, 2022) Sometime in February/March a prototype with 3 tiles will be released (could generate fake data for missing panels for 1 quad).  Full detector: summer?
