A fast tracking trigger system based on a new scintillating fiber tracker is being built for the upgraded DO detector for the Collider Run II at Fermilab. This fiber tracker trigger provides a first level hardware trigger, supplies track seeds for the first level muon trigger and for the second level trigger. The physics requirements and the corresponding algorithms for the hardware trigger will be described. Particularly, PLD (Programmable Logical Device) chips are used to implement our trigger algorithms to achieve pattern recognition from scintillating fiber hits and to format that information for delivery to other trigger systems. Detector trigger efficiency studies will also be presented.

Summary form only given. Photorefractive multiple-quantum-well (MQW) devices, attractive for two-dimensional opticalinformationprocessingsystems, have shown poor resolution, mostly due to lateral drift. Adding traps throughout the MQW layer improves the resolution. This paper demonstrates that low-temperature (LT) grown quantum wells can reach the fundamental resolution limit, which we have theoretically derived. Furthermore, because traps reduce the diffraction efficiency by reducing longitudinal transport, we have also investigated geometries that utilize conductive MQW with several localized trapping layers. The devices are based on a p-i-n structure grown on a Bragg reflector, with an intrinsic layer that contains MQW sandwiched between LT AlGaAs cladding layers.

Multisensor optoelectronic systems are an integral part of range instrumentation networks. The purpose of such instruments is to provide a permanent measurable record of a test or event. As applied to range tracking, the instrumentation must be capable of producing both qualitative and quantitative information on various flying objects under test. In this paper, an attempt has been made to discuss various issues related to electrooptical tracking systems and their performance study. The concept of image processing as applied to the target recognition and tracking has been analysed. A detailed discussion lies been carried out regarding the error budget estimate and the calibration methods. The associated management challenges related to the design and development of such a complex system has been highlighted.

An improved cost heuristic for selecting the transistor to size on the worst-delay path in a CMOS circuit is presented. Traditional cost heuristics used in a TILOS-like approach assume a single dominant critical path, ignoring the interactions among different paths in a circuit. As a result, layouts with larger than necessary active area are produced when the delay constraints are tight. Convex programming based approaches produce layouts with near-optimal area but at the cost of prohibitively long running times. The improved cost heuristic presented in this work takes into account the effect of sizing a given transistor T on many different critical paths in the circuit, based on local information in the neighborhood of T. When used with a TILOS-like algorithm, the heuristic produces layouts with considerably lower active area than layouts generated using the traditional cost heuristics. Moreover the number of iterations required using the improved heuristic is smaller than with the traditional cost heuristic resulting in lower CPU time requirement.

The performance of future generation data processingsystems will be set by interconnect limitations rather than by IC performance. The main reason for this expected I/O-bottleneck is the projected increase in CMOS IC-complexity, in terms of chip size, number of I/O pads and clock frequency. Problems inherently associated with closely packed electrical interconnections (such as cross-talk, signal distortion EMI) will lead to bandwidth limitations, in turn resulting in a mismatch between silicon processing capabilities and interconnect performance. optical I/O over the entire chip area is pursued as a solution to these interconnection problems in the European Community funded ESPRIT project OIIC ("optically Interconnected Integrated Circuits"). In this approach, data transfer from the whole chip area is facilitated through two dimensional arrays (array pitch: 250 /spl mu/m) of optical channels, consisting of opto-electronic components flip-chip mounted on CMOS circuitry and aligned to passive optical pathways. Data rate objectives are 0.5-1 Gb/s per channel. As a principal choice in this project, a 2D array of small diameter (125 /spl mu/m) Plastic optical Fibres is used as a flexible transmission medium. The large numerical aperture of this fibre (typically NA=0.5) and its flexibility allow for compact assembly (and hence low head room modules) and relatively coarse alignment.

The efficient computation of high-compression image transformations is the key to implementing video transmission in real-time applications that employ low-bandwidth communication links. In practice, such image compression applications could benefit from developments in adaptive computation, such as high-capacity field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and reconfigurable SIMD meshes. It is noted that repetitive block structure in many compression algorithms tends to facilitate SIMD implementation. In contrast, the recursive data dependencies and variable partition size of pyramidally structured transforms such as wavelet-based compression may yield more effective processing with reconfigurable logic hardware such as FPGAs. In this paper, work-in-progress is presented that concerns mapping of image compression transforms to reconfigurable computing devices. The discussion begins with an overview of several compression algorithms in common use and their classification. The structure and function of two reconfigurable compression implementations (SIMD and FPGA) is described at a high level. The analysis emphasizes time and space complexity of each transformation and its associated implementations. Applications include exploitation of underwater acoustic channels for digital video telemetry.
