Description

Functional areas
- Parallelization of Detector reconstruction algorithms, physics object reconstruction/calibration algorithms
- Utilization of CPU, accelerator hardware and what comes next in 5-10 years
- Developing better algorithms in addition to parallelization
- Portability solutions that support the same algorithm implementation on multiple hardware architectures
Mandate
- Describe experimental algorithms that are or will be used by the stakeholders
- What are the processing resource needs to execute the experimental algorithms of the stakeholders
- What is the technology evolution of processing resources?
  - Coordinate with theoretical calculations and simulations working group
- How will stakeholders be able to design and write algorithms for these processing resources?
  - Coordinate with theoretical calculations and simulations working group
  - Coordinate with Machine Learning working group
- How can coding standards and performance standards be used?
  - Coordinate with theoretical calculations and simulations working group, and Collaboration and Ecosystem working group
- How are the solutions used by the community embedded derived from solutions from industry/other science domains
