We propose a new generation of VLSI processors for pattern recognition, based on associative memory architecture, optimized for online track finding in high-energy physics experiments. We describe the architecture, the technology studies and the prototype design of a new associative memory project: it maximizes the pattern density on the ASIC, minimizes the power consumption and improves the functionality for the fast tracker processor proposed to upgrade the ATLAS trigger at LHC.

Abstract

We propose a new generation of VLSI processors for pattern recognition, based on associative memory architecture, optimized for online track finding in high-energy physics experiments. We describe the architecture, the technology studies and the prototype design of a new associative memory project: it maximizes the pattern density on the ASIC, minimizes the power consumption and improves the functionality for the fast tracker processor proposed to upgrade the ATLAS trigger at LHC.
