CERN has announced a two-day hybrid workshop that will focus on the advancements in graphics processing units (GPUs) and their role in optimizing Monte Carlo simulations. The workshop will take place from 13 to 14 November 2023 and will cover the world of heterogeneous computing architectures.
A collaborative event titled Event generators' and N(n)LO codes' acceleration is being organized by specialists from the theory, experimental physics, and information technology departments at CERN. The event aims to provide insights on how to improve the efficiency of Monte Carlo event generators and complex perturbative calculations. The focus will be on the use of diverse hardware architectures beyond traditional central processing units (CPUs). Anyone attending the event can expect to learn about these important topics from the experts in the field.
