BBC : As CERN’s Large Hadron Collider prepares for an upgrade in 2020, a new algorithm is being developed to handle the vast amounts of data that will be generated. Based on the split-second ability of the human brain and retina to scan and recognize patterns, the algorithm will allow computer processors to sift through the millions of proton collisions that will be produced per second and focus on the most interesting events. Expected to perform 400 times faster than any current technology, the new algorithm is designed to further research into the study of how the basic components of matter—leptons, quarks, and gluons—interact.
