Sebastian Gerlach, Aurelio Bay, Mikhail Chapochnikov, Guido Haefeli, Alexey Boyarsky, Hans Dijkstra, Sun Hee Kim, Alexandre Emmanuel Grandchamp, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Lesya Shchutska, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Jean-Loup Tastet, Sergei Smirnov, Anton Petrov, Inar Timiryasov, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Ana Bárbara Rodrigues Cavalcante, Federico Leo Redi, Elena Graverini, Ekaterina Kuznetsova

The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment proposal at CERN demands a dedicated dipole magnet for its scattering and neutrino detector. This requires a very large volume to be uniformly magnetized at B > 1.2 T, with constraints regarding the inner i ...

Fast simulation of muons produced at the SHiP experiment using Generative Adversarial Networks

Sebastian Gerlach, Aurelio Bay, Mikhail Chapochnikov, Guido Haefeli, Alexey Boyarsky, Hans Dijkstra, Sun Hee Kim, Alexandre Emmanuel Grandchamp, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Lesya Shchutska, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Jean-Loup Tastet, Sergei Smirnov, Anton Petrov, Inar Timiryasov, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Ana Bárbara Rodrigues Cavalcante, Federico Leo Redi, Elena Graverini, Ekaterina Kuznetsova

This paper presents a fast approach to simulating muons produced in interactions of the SPS proton beams with the target of the SHiP experiment. The SHIP experiment will be able to search for new long-lived particles produced in a 400 GeV/c SPS proton beam ...

The active muon shield in the SHiP experiment

Sebastian Gerlach, Aurelio Bay, Mikhail Chapochnikov, Alexey Boyarsky, Hans Dijkstra, Sun Hee Kim, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Lesya Shchutska, Sergei Smirnov, Inar Timiryasov, Federico Leo Redi, Elena Graverini, Ekaterina Kuznetsova

The SHiP experiment is designed to search for very weakly interacting particles beyond the Standard Model which are produced in a 400 GeV/c proton beam dump at the CERN SPS. An essential task for the experiment is to keep the Standard Model background leve ...

A simulator for adaptive parallel applications

Sebastian Gerlach, Roger Hersch, Basile Schäli

Dynamically allocating computing nodes to parallel applications is a promising technique for improving the utilization of cluster resources. Detailed simulations can help identify allocation strategies and problem decomposition parameters that increase the ...

A simulator for parallel applications with dynamically varying compute node allocation

Sebastian Gerlach, Roger Hersch, Basile Schäli

Dynamically allocating computing nodes to parallel applications is a promising technique for improving the utilization of cluster resources. We introduce the concept of dynamic efficiency which expresses the resource utilization efficiency as a function of ...

Fault-tolerant dynamic parallel schedules

Sebastian Gerlach

Dynamic Parallel Schedules (DPS) is a high-level framework for developing parallel applications on distributed memory computers such as clusters of PCs. DPS applications are defined by using directed acyclic flow graphs composed of user-defined operations. ...
