Abstract The PANDA (antiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt) experiment will study the strong interaction in annihilation reactions between an antiproton beam and a stationary cluster jet target. detector be composed of several sub-detectors designed for tracking, particle identification calorimetry. Micro-Vertex Detector (MVD) is innermost part tracking system surrounding region, which precise vertex detection. It consists silicon pixel double-sided microstrip detectors. For readout sensors...
Modern data acquisition and trigger systems require a throughput of several GB/s latencies the order microseconds. To satisfy such requirements, heterogeneous readout system based on FPGA cards GPU-based computing nodes coupled by InfiniBand has been developed. The incoming from back-end electronics is delivered directly into internal memory GPUs through dedicated peer-to-peer PCIe communication. High performance DMA engines have developed for direct communication between FPGAs using...
Modern physics experiments produce multi-GB/s data rates. Fast links and high performance computing stages are required for continuous acquisition processing. Because of their intrinsic parallelism computational power, GPUs emerged as an ideal solution to process this in applications.

The commissioning and operation of future large-scale scientific experiments will challenge current tuning control methods. Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms are a promising solution thanks to their capability autonomously tackling problem based on task parameterized by reward function. conventionally utilized machine (ML) libraries not intended for microsecond latency applications, as they mostly optimize throughput performance.
