High energy particle collider experiments are facing ever more challenging conditions, operating at todays accelerators capable of providing instantaneous luminosity of 10^34 cm-2s-1 and above. The high center of mass energy, the large number of simultaneous collision of beam particles in the experiments and the very high repetition rates of the collision events pose huge challenges. They...
The Micron Automata Processor is a dedicated pattern matching engine that is based on a non-Von Neumann processor architecture, and was designed primarily to satisfy the growing needs of high-speed text-based pattern search applications. We investigate its suitability for HEP pattern recognition applications, using a sample track-confirmation trigger to demonstrate a proof-of-principle. We...
For Run III foreseen to start in 2020, the LHCb experiment will run at an instantaneous luminosity of 2x10^33 cm-2s-1 with a fully software based trigger. A major upgrade of the detector and of data acquisition system will allow having a full readout at the collision rate of 40 MHz. LHCb is planning to have the same Run II strategy with a real-time alignment and calibration procedure and an...
