The LHCb collaboration presented a TDR for a new first level trigger based on graphics processors (GPUs) to CERN's LHCC and announced its decision to use this system as its new baseline in Run 3 of the LHC, due to start in 2022.

In the next run of the LHC (Run 3) the upgraded LHCb experiment will operate at a factor of five times the luminosty of the first run. The LHCb trigger upgrade will enable parallel processing of 40 Tb/s: one of the biggest data challenges in HEP.

Interesting physics signatures in heavy-ion collisions are either very general or very difficult to discern from the background thus posing special challenges for the ALICE trigger system.
