The methodology of development of real-time and high-throughput heterogeneous devices for plasma confinement fusion diagnostics

This paper discusses the model and the development methodology that was proposed in the implementation process of the heterogeneous system for the WEST thermal fusion reactor. The objective was to provide a systematic approach to provide a heterogeneous device to handle high-throughput workloads with low-latency for the WEST Soft X-Ray impurities diagnostic. The presented mechanism is dedicated to augment the system applicability to a wider area of instrumentation for high-scale physics experiments.
