Abstract
Recent innovations focused around parallel processing, either through
systems containing multiple processors or processors containing multiple cores,
hold great promise for enhancing the performance of the trigger at the LHC and
extending its physics program. The flexibility of the CMS/ATLAS trigger system
allows for easy integration of computational accelerators, such as NVIDIA's
Tesla Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) or Intel's , in the High Level
Trigger. These accelerators have the potential to provide faster or more energy
efficient event selection, thus opening up possibilities for new complex
triggers that were not previously feasible. At the same time, it is crucial to
explore the performance limits achievable on the latest generation multicore
CPUs with the use of the best software optimization methods. In this article, a
new tracking algorithm based on the Hough transform will be evaluated for the
first time on a multi-core Intel Xeon E5-2697v2 CPU, an NVIDIA Tesla K20c GPU,
and an Intel 7120 coprocessor. Preliminary time performance will be
presented.
