Data decomposition of Monte Carlo particle transport simulations via tally servers
An algorithm for decomposing large tally data in Monte Carlo particle simulations is proposed, analyzed, and implemented/tested in a production Monte Carlo code, OpenMC. The algorithm relies on disjoint sets of compute processes and servers of which the former simulate particles moving through the geometry and the latter runs in a continuous loop receiving scores from the compute processors and...
متن کاملAssessment of secondary particles in breast proton therapy by Monte Carlo simulation code using MCNPX
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the equivalent dose in vital organs, including heart and lung, due to secondary particles produced during breast proton therapy. Materials and Methods: The numerical ORNL female-phantom was improved and simulated using the Monte Carlo MCNPX code. The depth-dose profile of proton beams with different energies was simulated. The proper energy ran...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculations of dose distribution for the treatment of gastric cancer with proton therapy
Proton therapy is a common form of external radiation therapy based on the manipulation of Bragg peak of this beam, it can treat the tumor by delivering high levels of doses to it, while protecting surrounding healthy tissues against radiation. In this work, the dose distribution of proton and secondary particles such as neutrons, photons, electrons and positrons in gastric cancer proton therap...
متن کامل155 Design Features of Remington Rand Speed Tally
Tallying, the recording of the number of occurrences of specific events, although basically a simple repetitive act, has somehow failed to become mechanized in the general trend toward relieving humans of the drudger-y of paper work. A tremendous amount of event counting is still recorded in the tally records of modern business establishments in the symbols of the ancients, the four strokes and...
