GPUs @ PANDA — Online Tracking • Port tracking algorithms to GPU – Serial → parallel – C++ → CUDA • Investigate suitability for online performance • But also: Find & invent tracking algorithms… • Under investigation: – Hough Transformation – Riemann Track Finder – Triplet Finder 5

Algorithm: Hough Transform 8 Thrust Plain CUDA • Performance: 3 ms/event – Independent of α granularity – Reduced to set of standard routines • Fast (uses Thrust‘s optimized algorithms) • Inflexible (has it‘s limits, hard to customize) – No peakfinding included • Even possible? • Adds to time! • Performance: 0.5 ms/event – Built completely for this task • Fitting to every problem • Customizable • A bit more complicated at parts – Simple peakfinder implemented (threshold) • Using: Dynamic Parallelism, Shared Memory Two Implementations
9 • Idea: Don‘t fit lines (in 2D), fit planes (in 3D)! • Create seeds – All possible three hit combinations • Grow seeds to tracks Continuously test next hit if it fits – Use mapping to Riemann paraboloid • Summer student project (J. Timcheck) x x x x y z‘ x x x y x x x x y x Algorithm: Riemann Track Finder

11 Algorithm: Triplet Finder • Idea: Use only sub-set of detector as seed – Combine 3 hits to Triplet – Calculate circle from 3 Triplets (no fit) • Features – Tailored for PANDA – Fast & robust algorithm, no t0 • Ported to GPU together with NVIDIA Application Lab
Triplet Finder — Optimizations • Bunching Wrapper – Hits from one event have similar timestamp – Combine hits to sets (bunches) which fill up GPU best 13
