Abstract
High energy physics particle detectors are large and complex devices with very demanding requirements at the level of signal to noise ratios, processing times and data throughput. The first stages of the data acquisition are hardware based while the last ones depend rather on software. Among the solutions to the problems posed by the requirements we may find the use of multi-core processors or maybe GPU´s. We shall review what are the points in which these techniques could be of use and the actual proposals.
