✦ Synopsis

ESOP is a fast 16 bit processor designed at CERN. It derives its speed from hardware parallelism and from microprogramming of the application software. It has been specially developed for the applications of secondary trigger calculation and data reduction in experiments, with interfaces to several widely used detector readout systems and special processor hardware. This report summarises the work done by several groups to use ESOP in three experiments currently running at CERN.
