15 Plans to measure the calculation speed of MPEXS with phase space data on the in2p3 machine, cca.in2p3.fr I have submitted a job as following command, but the job has been kept in the queue and has never run. $ qsub -l os=cl7,gpu=1 -q mc_gpu_medium -pe multicores 1 exe 1 GPU (Tesla K80), 1 CPU core batch queue: mc_gpu_medium exe: the script to run MPEXS to optimize the code of MPEXS with phase space files to speed up 15
16 Summary The preliminary results show the valid results between MPEXS and Geant4 with the phase space data of SIMENS Primus electrons or X-rays. Calculation speeds of MPEXS with the phase space data is about 50 times faster than Geant4. MPEXS: NVIDIA GTX1080 Geant4: single thread of intel Core i GHz 16
