As the LHC moves to higher energies and luminosity, the demand for computing resources increases accordingly and will soon outpace the growth of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid. To meet this greater demand, event generation Monte Carlo was targeted for adaptation to run on Mira, the supercomputer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. Alpgen is a Monte Carlo event generation application that is used by LHC experiments in the simulation of collisions that take place in the Large Hadron Collider. This paper details the process by which Alpgen was adapted from a single-processor serial-application to a large-scale parallel-application and the performance that was achieved.

In this contribution the new event generation framework Sherpa will be presented. It aims at the full simulation of events at current and future high-energy experiments, in particular the LHC. Some results related to the production of jets at the Tevatron will be discussed.
We review the main software and computing challenges for the Monte Carlo physics event generators used by the LHC experiments, in view of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) physics programme. This paper has been prepared by the HEP Software Foundation (HSF) Physics Event Generator Working Group as an input to the LHCC review of HL-LHC computing, which has started in May 2020.

We prove that parallel processing with homogeneous processors is logically equivalent to fast serial processing. The reverse proposition can also be used to identify obscure opportunities for applying parallelism. To our knowledge, this theorem has n ot been previously reported in the queueing theory literature. A plausible explanation is offered for why this might be. The basic homogeneous theorem is also extended to optimizing the latency of heterogenous parallel arrays.
Event generators are an indispensable tool for the preparation and analysis of particle-physics experiments. In this contribution, physics principles underlying the construction of such computer programs are discussed. Results, within and beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, obtained with a new event generator are presented. This generator is capable to describe signal processes for exotic physics and their backgrounds at electron-positron and proton-(anti)proton colliders.

The last ten years have witnessed fast spreading of massively parallel computing clusters, from leading supercomputing facilities down to the average university computing center. Many companies in the private sector have undergone a similar evolution . In this scenario, the seamless integration of software and middleware libraries is a key ingredient to ensure portability of scientific codes and guarantees them an extended lifetime. In this work, we describe the integration of the ChASE library, a modern parallel eigensolver, into an existing legacy code for the first-principles computation of optical properties of materials via solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the optical polarization function. Our numerical tests show that, as a result of integrating ChASE and parallelizing the reading routine, the code experiences a remarkable speedup and greatly improved scaling behavior on both multi- and many-core architectures. We demonstrate that such a modernized BSE code will, by fully exploiting parallel computing architectures and file systems, enable domain scientists to accurately study complex material systems that were not accessible before.
