Lundi 27 Mars à 10h, Salle des Séminaires ( 1222-RC-08 ) AMchip (Associative Memory Chip) is an ASIC system with fully parallel architecture designed to perform thousands of pattern machine in few clock cycles in the FTK architecture (Level 2 trigger system). Although the first object of the AMchip was to use in FTK, the AMchip team though of using this chip in other similar pattern recognition applications to prove the efficiency of the chip in other science/engineering fields. Aside from its parallel architecture, which gives unique computation power to AMchip, its interface with peripherals such as host processor through Ethernet, GTX and JTAG are interesting topics, which will be discussed in detail in this seminar. The seminar will mainly focuses on the evaluation of different AMchip infrastructures (hardware, firmware, software) and the application of these infrastructures in genomic sequence analysis.
