Particle Detector Development and Performance

We discuss the architecture, operation, and performance of the Level 3 trigger used in the Fermilab CDF experiment in 1988–1989. This trigger used an on-line computer farm of 58 Motorola 68020 processors operating in parallel. The on-line programs were written mainly in Fortran and run in an environment similar to that used for off-line analysis.
