Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration and Efficent Parallel Programming of Algorithms for Track Finding in Experiments of High Energy Physics — •Etienne Aubin Mbe Mbock — Am Steingarten 12/Zi 204/68169 Mannheim

This paper concerns the implementation of the Kalman Filter on an FPGA. This provides the reader with three major results. The Kalman Filter is based on matrix and vector operations. We have transformed it to a system where matrix inputs are avoided. From that model and floating point in random integer generation we implemented the Kalman Filter on an FPGA using the SPARTAN-3E board. Secondly, investigations on dynamic partial reconfiguration [DPR] were made and led to identifying operations that are involved in DPR. This paper provides the inventory of these operations. Thirdly, looking for the reconfiguration time of the Kalman Filter, we can state in seconds the clock cycle of any algorithm.
