Session IV: Innovative Algorithms • The Sum • Statistics • Clusters by Content • Clusters by Algorithm • Examples from the session • Interpretation ACAT02
Summary, but How? • Very diverse topics • Almost impossible to summarize: You should have been there. • Solution: Different approaches! ACAT02
Summary: The Sum • Adding it all up • (the transparencies, that is) ACAT02
Summary: Statistics • 3 posters • 15 talks • From about 13 experiments • 4h 20min of oral interaction in room 02 • One overhead projector broken • Doesn’t help either. ACAT02
Summary – For Real • Clusters of posters and talks • Handling of large amounts of data: Compression, many-parameter-problem • Parallel and localized computing algorithms • Interpreting detector responses (particle identification, energy reconstruction, percolation processes, triggers, digital filtering…) • New tracking and vertexing algorithms • Code development guidelines in HEP ACAT02
Algorithms • Algorithmic clusters • Adaptive algorithms, Riemann space tracking • Neural Nets: Improved, applied and studied • Genetic Algorithms: Applied and adopted for parallel computing • Filtering, classical optimizations, compression • ISO-15504 for software management • and many others ACAT02
Example: Tracking • New development by CMS tracking group: Improvement over Kalman fitter seen; fast, robust and precise algorithms. Combined development of new tracking and vertexing algorithms with application for CMS and performance studies See talks by R. Fruehwirth, A. Strandlie, W. Waltenberger ACAT02
Example: NN, Genetic Algorithms • Applications in online triggers: • J.M. de Seixas on removing Atlas TileCal outsiders • S. Abdullin on genetic algorithm for optimizing CMS’s SUSY triggers • Further applications: • V. Vinogradov on LHC online HadCal E reconstruction • M. Bogolyubsky on direct photon ID with ALICE’s photon spectrometer ACAT02
Example: Links Outside • Some had a look outside and returned with news • Some are outside EHEP and told us about it • H.-P. Wellisch on ISO software management standards and their application and feasibility for HEP. It works. “As long as one has the support of Senior Personnel.” • M. Kosov on an chiral invariant phase space event generator for hadrons which can predict e.g. hadron masses, structure functions and cross sections ACAT02
S HEP Huge spread where new and improved algorithms are developed for and applied at, within and outside and into HEP dx Interpretation • Disclaimer: Personal view, not a result of an algorithm • Future and running experiments highly active in extensions of algorithms, but also development of new ones • Judging from session, highest activity at CERN and in Russia (and their overlap, which seems to be Vienna) ACAT02
Interpretation • Interesting algorithms “nice to see once” • They should be shared and spread! • common languages (OO helps, too), common software libs, links across experiments, regions, languages and (software) cultures • Sometimes algorithm not recognized to be fundamental, or just the last extra step not taken for the algorithm to be re-usable. + - ACAT02
Interpretation • ACAT plays an important role here: • To discuss and share new algorithms • To remind us that often we don’t write a specific solution, but a more fundamental algorithm for which other users exist • To create links across experiments, countries and even fields of application • To feed authors of algorithms with great shashlik and smooth vodka 3 ACAT02
