Parallelisation of an existing high energy physics event reconstruction software package
R. Schiefer, D. Francis · IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science · 1996
Software parallelization allows an efficient use of available computing power to increase the performance of applications. In a case study we have investigated the parallelization of high-energy physics event reconstruction software in terms of costs (effort, computing resource requirements), benefits (performance increase), and the feasibility of a systematic parallelization approach. Guidelines facilitating a parallel implementation are proposed for future software development.
