An Update of ARCHER, a Monte Carlo Radiation Transport Software Testbed for Emerging Hardware Such as GPUs

摘要

Applications of ARCHER to nuclear engineering and medical physics problems have shown exciting results. Using hardware accelerators like GPUs and the Intel Phi coprocessors, we have achieved significant speed up factors over our CPU code and other production MC codes. On-going efforts aim to implement more complex physics models and further optimization techniques to improve both accuracy and performance of the code.
