We would like to acknowledge the contributions of M. Haney and T. Yamanaka who devised the original cluster counting algorithm. In addition, we received invaluable assistance from the University of Chicago Electronics Development Group, in particular from S. Mai, F. Quinn and J. Dudas. This work is supported by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.

N2 - We have designed and built a trigger processor that determines the number of isolated showers deposited in the electromagnetic calorimeter of the KTeV detector. Our algorithm takes advantage of pattern recognition and parallel processing techniques to increase its speed relative to more conventional cluster finding algorithms. With a relatively modest clock speed of 20 MHz, this processor reaches a decision in under 2 μs.
