The D0 event selection consists of 3 levels of hardware trigger and one level of software trigger. Events passing the hardware trigger are read out to filtering processors, where the event is assembled in the multiported memory of the processor. Our trigger simulation runs from the same configuration files which specify the hardware and software trigger online. We outline the design and performance (rejection, efficiency, and throughput) of the trigger system for muons, electrons, photons, jets, and missing p[sub T].
