14. Differentiable programming for the frontiers of computation: methods and new perspectives

Dr Pietro Vischia (Universidad de Oviedo and Instituto de Ciencias y Tecnologías Espaciales de Asturias (ICTEA))

Designing the next generation colliders and detectors involves solving optimization problems in high-dimensional spaces where the optimal solutions may nest in regions that even a team of expert humans would not explore.

Furthermore, the large amount of data we need to generate to study physics for the next runs of large HEP machines and that we will need for future colliders is staggering,...

3. Automatic optimization of a Parallel-Plate Avalanche Counter with Optical Readout

Ms Maria Pereira Martinez (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (ES))

We propose an optimization system for a Parallel-Plate Avalanche Counter with Optical Readout designed for heavy-ion tracking and imaging. Exploiting differentiable programming, we model the reconstruction of the position for different detector configurations and build an optimization cycle that minimizes an objective function. We analyze the performance improvement using this method,...

16. Technology trends and hardware architectures for HEP computing

Brij Kishor Jashal (RAL, TIFR and IFIC)

04/10/2024, 12:20

In recent years, the incorporation of new hardware architectures at the trigger level has significantly enhanced the potential of LHC experiments. This includes the use of FPGAs and GPUs for real-time fast track reconstruction. In this talk, we will review the key aspects of these advancements, examine current technology trends, and explore the emerging strategies being developed by the...
