  A trend for future high energy physics experiments is an increase in the data
bandwidth produced from the detectors. Datasets of the Petabyte scale have
already become the norm, and the requirements of future experiments -- greater
in size, exposure, and complexity -- will further push the limits of data
acquisition technologies to data rates of exabytes per seconds. The challenge
for these future data-intensive physics facilities lies in the reduction of the
flow of data through a combination of sophisticated event selection in the form
of high-performance triggers and improved data representation through
compression and calculation of high-level quantities. These tasks must be
performed with low-latency (i.e. in real-time) and often in extreme
environments including high radiation, high magnetic fields, and cryogenic
temperatures.
