Summary:A new data-acquisition (DAQ) system has been introduced at the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF). This system has functions of network-distributed data processing, hierarchical event building and parallel readout which are achieved with newly developed software and commodity hardware. This system is both versatile and scalable, allowing it to meet the various requirements for RIBF experiments. It has a maximum data processing capability of around 40 MB/s. This paper describes the configuration and the data processing performance of the DAQ system.
