The M7 - A computer for on-line track-finding
- 1. Fermi National Accelerator Lab., Batavia, IL
Description
The M7 is a small fast computer with an instruction set designed to match the on-line pattern recognition problems of a high energy physics experiment. It has been used as a trigger processor in a photoproduction experiment at Fermilab. The full off-line track-finding program is being moved to the M7 to allow on-line selection of events based on detailed information and to relieve the burden on the central laboratory computer facility. The hardware, support software, and applications programs are discussed
