First Results of an “Artificial Retina” Processor Prototype

First Results of an “Artificial Retina” Processor Prototype

We report on the performance of a specialized processor capable of reconstructing charged particle tracks in a realistic LHC silicon tracker detector, at the same speed of the readout and with sub-microsecond latency. The processor is based on an innovative pattern-recognition algorithm, called “art...
