Use of Emulating Processors in High Energy Physics
P. Kunz · Physica Scripta · 1981
The needs for data processing in high energy physics is growing at a rate that exceeds the data processing capabilities of traditional computers. The use of emulating processors is one method to fill this growing gap. This paper will analyze the data processing requirements from the point of view of program development and data production. Needs in both off-line and on-line environments will be considered. It will be shown that emulating processors fulfill most of the requirements at a reasonable cost.
