Description

Tracking is currently performed at LHCb using a sequential algorithm parallelized by event in a cluster of about 1.500 computers. To update this system a parallel version for GPUs has been implemented. The present work presents an OpenCL implementation of a tracking algorithm for the LHCb trigger system. The algorithm is based on a previous work by David Rohr in the ALICE detector.
