Track Parallelisation in GEANT Detector Simulations ?

چکیده
Track parallelisation of GEANT-based detector simulations, worked out for a parallel computer, is described. Its implementation in a T9000 based TN310 computer (16 processors) is explained in detail. With the help of the shower tracking example Gexam1 we show that the speedup obtained is satisfactory for high energies and enough initial particles. Load balancing policies are discussed.

On the Way to Future's High Energy Particle Physics Transport Code
High Energy Physics (HEP) needs a huge amount of computing resources. In addition data acquisition, transfer, and analysis require a well developed infrastructure too. In order to prove new physics disciplines it is required to higher the luminosity of the accelerator facilities, which produce more-andmore data in the experimental detectors. Both testing new theories and detector R&D are based ...
متن کاملGeant 4 – DEPFET Test Beam Simulation Studies
Abstract. This paper deals with the detailed simulation studies of DEPFET detector position resolution, that has been intensely measured in 2006 at both DESY and CERN test beam facilities. As the multiple scattering has a strong effect on obtained results, a detailed simulation has had to be used to optimize the final geometry configuration. Moreover the final resolution of a system of telescop...
متن کاملStudy of -jet identification in CMS
We present the methods for off-line -jet identification developed for the study of decay modes of the neutral SUSY Higgses of mass 140 300 GeV in CMS. Detector response is simulated with a GEANT-based package CMSIM. Involving calorimetry and tracker information, -jet selection criteria allow to reduce the backgrounds to an acceptable level while keeping the selection efficiency at the level of ...
متن کاملTowards a high performance geometry library for particle-detector simulations
Thread-parallelisation and single-instruction multiple data (SIMD) ”vectorisation” of software components in HEP computing has become a necessity to fully benefit from current and future computing hardware. In this context, the Geant-Vector/GPU simulation project aims to re-engineer current software for the simulation of the passage of particles through detectors in order to increase the overal...
متن کاملGEMs Semester Report and Background for new Research Students
GEM detectors (Gaseous Electron Multiplier) are a type of MPD (micro pattern detector) that introduce a new standard in spatial resolution. They offer fast tracking because of the absence of an ion-tail, and the flexibility of a wide range readouts since the detection stage and amplification stages are completely separate. This makes GEM detectors suitable for many different types of experiment...
