High granularity silicon pixel sensors are at the heart of energy frontier particle physics collider experiments. At an collision rate 40\,MHz, these detectors create massive amounts data. Signal processing that handles data incoming those and intelligently reduces within pixelated region detector \textit{at rate} will enhance performance enable analyses not currently possible. Using shape charge clusters deposited in array small pixels, physical properties traversing can be extracted with...

Abstract Highly granular pixel detectors allow for increasingly precise measurements of charged particle tracks. Next-generation require that sizes will be further reduced, leading to unprecedented data rates exceeding those foreseen at the High- Luminosity Large Hadron Collider.

This work describes the investigation of neuromorphic computing-based spiking neural network (SNN) models used to filter data from sensor electronics in high energy physics experiments conducted at High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). We present our approach for developing a compact model that filters out based on particle's transverse momentum with goal reducing amount being sent downstream electronics. The incoming charge waveforms are converted streams binary-valued events,...

Detectors at future high energy colliders will face enormous technical challenges. Disentangling the unprecedented numbers of particles expected in each event require highly granular silicon pixel detectors with billions readout channels. With rates as 40 MHz, these generate petabytes data per second. To enable discovery within strict bandwidth and latency constraints, trackers must be capable fast, power efficient, radiation hard data-reduction source. We are developing a integrated circuit...

The combinatorics of track seeding has long been a computational bottleneck for triggering and offline computing in High Energy Physics (HEP), remains so the HL-LHC. Next-generation pixel sensors will be sufficiently fine-grained to determine angular information charged particle passing through from pixel-cluster properties. This detector technology immediately improves situation tracking, but any major improvements physics reach are unrealized since they dominated by lowest-level hardware...

Low latency inference has many applications in edge machine learning. In this paper, we present a run-time configurable convolutional neural network (CNN) ASIC design for low-latency By implementing 5-stage pipelined CNN model 3D technology, demonstrate that the distributed on two dies utilizing face-to-face (F2F) integration achieves superior performance.
