I don't see a link to a google doc in the thread above. Am I missing something?

Hi Elliot,

Can you transfer your answers to the Google doc?

Thanks, Mike

Here is are replies from me including the one on the science flowdown to trigger for HH to 4b that was in the LAr section.

 

There was one tricky one (below) about exploring GPUs instead of a custom ASIC for HTT. Here is what I put, but I'm very uncertain whether we want to discuss the existence of this commodity hardware back-up plan group.

 

1. Has there be an evaluation of using commercial hardware accelerator (GPUs as one example) for track finding/fitting in the higher level trigger? Why build a custom chip?

Answer: This was investigated within ATLAS prior to the selection of HTT as a baseline. At that time, the GPU solution was significantly higher cost and impractical in terms of power consumption. 

 

EL: Should we add that “ATLAS continues investigate commodity hardware as backup plan, but HTT is the baseline plan.”

And a number of management questions answered.  We'll need to read
through when everything is filled, as I added to some existing answers.
