From the Big Bang to Massive Data Flow: Parallel Computing in High Energy Physics Experiments |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
Tracking detectors in high-energy physics experiments produce hundreds of megabytes of data at a rate of several hundred Hz. Processing this data at a bandwidth of 10-20 Gbyte/sec requires parallel computing. Reducing the huge data rate to a manageable amount by realtime data compression and pattern recognition techniques is the prime task. Clustered SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processor) nodes, based on off-the-shelf PCs and connected by a high bandwidth, low latency network, provide the necessary computing power. Such a system can easily be interfaced to the front-end electronics of the detectors via the internal PCI-bus. Data compression techniques like vector quantization and data modeling and fast transformations like conformal mapping or the adaptive, generalized Hough-transform for feature extraction are the methods of choice. |
