In a context where the high-energy physics community strives to enhance software to handle increased data throughput, detector simulation is evolving to take advantage of new performance opportunities. Given the intricacy of particle transport simulation, recent advancements, such as adapting to accelerator hardware, require a significant research and development effort.The feasibility of porting complex particle transport codes to GPUs has been already demonstrated by parallelizing the processing of tracks undergoing electromagnetic interactions.

Offloading electromagnetic shower transport to GPUs
/ Amadio, G. (CERN) ; Apostolakis, J. (CERN) ; Buncic, P. (CERN) ; Cosmo, G. (CERN) ; Dosaru, D. (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Gheata, A. (CERN) ; Hageboeck, S. (CERN) ; Hahnfeld, J. (CERN) ; Hodgkinson, M. (Sheffield U.) ; Morgan, B. (Liverpool U.) et al.
Making general particle transport simulation for high-energy physics (HEP) single-instruction-multiple-thread (SIMT) friendly, to take advantage of accelerator hardware, is an important alternative for boosting the throughput of simulation applications. To date, this challenge is not yet resolved, due to difficulties in mapping the complexity of Geant4 components and workflow to the massive parallelism features exposed by graphics processing units (GPU).

Detector Simulation Challenges for Future Accelerator Experiments
/ Apostolakis, John (CERN) ; Bandieramonte, Marilena (Pittsburgh U.) ; Banerjee, Sunanda (Wisconsin U., Madison) ; Bartosik, Nazir (INFN, Turin) ; Corti, Gloria (CERN) ; Cosmo, Gabriele (CERN) ; Elvira, V Daniel (Fermilab) ; Evans, Thomas (ORNL, Oak Ridge (main)) ; Gheata, Andrei (CERN) ; Pagan Griso, Simone (LBNL, Berkeley) et al.
Detector simulation is a key component for studies on prospective future high-energy colliders, the design, optimization, testing and operation of particle physics experiments, and the analysis of the data collected to perform physics measurements. This review starts from the current state of the art technology applied to detector simulation in high-energy physics and elaborates on the evolution of software tools developed to address the challenges posed by future accelerator programs beyond the HL-LHC era, into the 2030-2050 period.

A VecGeom navigator plugin for Geant4
/ Wenzel, Sandro (CERN) ; Apostolakis, John (CERN) ; Cosmo, Gabriele (CERN)
VecGeom is a geometry modeller library with hit-detection features as needed by particle detector simulation at the LHC and beyond. It was incubated by a Geant-R&D; initiative and the motivation to combine the code of Geant4 and ROOT/TGeo into a single, better maintainable piece of software within the EU-AIDA program.So far, VecGeom is mainly used by LHC experiments as a geometry primitive library called from Geant4, where it was shown to provide 7–12% reduction in CPU time due to its faster algorithms for complex primitives [1].In this contribution, we discuss how VecGeom can be used as the navigating library in Geant4 in order to benefit from both its fast geometry primitives as well as its vectorised navigation module.

GeantV: Results from the prototype of concurrent vector particle transport simulation in HEP
/ Amadio, G. (CERN) ; Ananya, A. (CERN) ; Apostolakis, J. (CERN) ; Bandieramonte, M. (CERN ; Pittsburgh U.) ; Banerjee, S. (Fermilab) ; Bhattacharyya, A. (Bhabha Atomic Res. Ctr.) ; Bianchini, C. (Sao Paulo, IFT ; Mackenzie Presbiteriana U.) ; Bitzes, G. (CERN) ; Canal, P. (Fermilab) ; Carminati, F. (CERN) et al.
Full detector simulation was among the largest CPU consumer in all CERN experiment software stacks for the first two runs of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In the early 2010's, the projections were that simulation demands would scale linearly with luminosity increase, compensated only partially by an increase of computing resources. [...]

VecGeom [1] is a multi-purpose geometry library targeting the optimisation of the 3D-solids’ algorithms used extensively in particle transport and tracking applications. The implementations of these algorithms are templated on the input data type and are vectorised based on the VecCore [2] abstraction library in case of multiple inputs in a SIMD vector. [...]

SIMD acceleration can potentially boost by factors the application throughput. Achieving efficient SIMD vectorization for scalar code with complex data flow and branching logic, goes however way beyond breaking some loop dependencies and relying on the compiler. [...]

In the fall 2016, GeantV went through a thorough community evaluation of the project status and of its strategy for sharing the R&D; results with the LHC experiments and with the HEP simulation community in general. Following this discussion, GeantV has engaged onto an ambitious 2-year road-path aiming to deliver a beta version that has most of the final design and several performance features of the final product, partially integrated with some of the experiment’s frameworks.
