Digital programmable level-1 trigger with 3D-flow assembly
The system makes use of standard rack assembly for implementing 3-D flow parallel processing systems. It allows efficient interconnection of standard data acquisition systems assembly to a stack of boards of 3-D flow parallel processing system at a 90 degree angle between the two systems. This allows implementation of a number of different topologies (e.g. planar, cylindrical, spherical etc.), and a very high communication bandwidth at low cost. The interconnection among the processors in the parallel processing system can be in six directions, with a time difference between any two signals received by a processor being less than 1 nano second. The interconnection topology allows equal cable length and time which is a feature which cannot be found in the conventional systems. High speeds and low power consumption are achieved using this feature. This invention is useful in particle identification in high energy physics (calorimeter data filtering, processing and data reduction, track funding and rejection), pattern recognition in radar systems, biological molecular studies, graphic processors, high rate data acquisition.
