GPU-Oriented Algorithms for Continuous Energy Monte Carlo Neutron Transport by Ridley, Gavin

“…Adapting a full-physics, continuous energy MC neutron transport simulation for GPUs is a feat only completed by a few institutions across the world, so we share some software development tricks that facilitated this task. We then identify a variety of algorithmic optimizations that improved the performance of the baseline CUDA application, and identify areas for further development. 3 Based on experience adapting a full-physics continuous energy MC code for GPU, we identify two pieces of the simulation which can be improved for GPU computing: resonance upscatter handling and unresolved resonance modeling. …”
