| PI Contribution | We explained the challenges that experimental particle physics faces in coming decade with new and upgraded experiments generating significantly increased volumes of data and in particular the realtime processing challenge associated with this data. Giving Intel insight into an expanding market, in particular for their FPGA offerings which are not widely used in our field. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Intel UK briefed us on their newest FPGA technology and plans. They also made available their beta-cloud facility for prototyping and made engineers available to assist. |
| Impact | The main outcome is the establishing of a connection between the partners and briefing each other on challenges and potential solutions and joint participation in workshops. In the future we intend to collaborate more closely via hackathons to drive the collaboration forward to concrete results. |
