MCBooster: a library for fast Monte Carlo generation of phase-space decays on massively parallel platforms

摘要

MCBooster is a header-only, C++11-compliant library that provides routines togenerate and perform calculations on large samples of phase space Monte Carloevents. To achieve superior performance, MCBooster is capable to perform mostof its calculations in parallel using CUDA- and OpenMP-enabled devices.MCBooster is built on top of the Thrust library and runs on Linux systems. Thiscontribution summarizes the main features of MCBooster. A basic description ofthe user interface and some examples of applications are provided, along withmeasurements of performance in a variety of environments
