contents The upgraded Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment is the first detector based at a hadron collider using a fully software based trigger. The first `High Level Trigger' stage (HLT1) reduces the event rate from 30 MHz to approximately 1 MHz based on reconstruction criteria from the tracking system, and consists of $\mathcal{O}(100)$ trigger selections implemented on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). These selections are further refined following the full offline-quality reconstruction at the second stage (HLT2) prior to saving for analysis. An automated bandwidth division has been performed to equitably divide this 1 MHz HLT1 Output Rate (OR) between the signals of interest to the LHCb physics programme. This was achieved by optimising a set of trigger selections that maximise efficiency for signals of interest to LHCb while keeping the total HLT1 readout capped to a maximum. The bandwidth division tool has been used to determine the optimal selection for 35 selection algorithms over 80 characteristic physics channels.
