Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 124020371
The LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facility in Geneva tries to find further information about the asymmetry of matter and anti-matter. The generated masses of data are in the range of several tera bytes per second. Because of this rate, the data can be stored only partially and needs to filtered and analysed in real time. This project concentrates on new methods increasing the efficiency. Approaches of hardware/software co-design will be investigated, especially field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and general purpose computing on graphic processing units (GPGPU).
