Description
The ARAMIS project proposes a multi-disciplinary development of new
real-time event selection architectures, in view of experiments at high
luminosity colliders, such as HL-LHC and SuperB.
The research program includes the development of novel approaches to
real-time analysis:
the design of new, extremely fast hardware processors: a mesh of
Associative Memories and high speed serial links;
the use of latest-generation Graphical Processing Units (GPU) in timing
critical computing tasks;
the development of new moderation techniques and fault-tolerant
architectures capable to operate FPGAs safely under radiation.
The project, which requires the highest competence in various fields,
is the joint effort of Italian and Foreign Universities and Research
Centres. Such collaboration allows ARAMIS to approach any subject of the
program with expertise, methods, technologies and research structures at
the state of the art.
The developed tools will be specialized for the ATLAS, CMS, LHCb experiments and for
application to the SuperB collider. The ultimate goals are to demonstrate
the validity of the implemented techniques and to share common resources
among experimental physicists in the coming years.
ARAMIS is also meant to go beyond HEP. Strong similarities between
advanced Real-Time analysis techniques and the psyco-physiology of the
human vision mechanisms have recently emerged. A close collaboration
between experts in the two fields will bring to new developments in both areas.
