Self-routing event building on sorting network

Event building system based on sorting network has been developed and discussed. The event builder comprises a comparator with subsidiary functions as a network node, FIFOs as a time slot interchanger at the input stage and data buffers at the output stage. The event building system gathers data without any complex controls by the software. The throughput of the data and scalability were examined for various speeds of the system clocks. The system has a scalability of the speed for the network-size. Though the throughput is limited by the speed of the device we chose, the speed can be increased by choosing a faster device.
