[comp.sys.transputer] GEANT on Transputer ???

BOHN@VKPMZB.Physik.Uni-Mainz.DE (03/23/90)

Hello to all members of the transputer list,

Is there anybody, who occuppies with the portation and parallelisation
of the large GEANT-Program (develloped at CERN/Geneve) on transputers ?

I am very much interested in getting this program, because it is needed
for an very important project at our institute.

So, if you know, please answer the following questions :

        - How far are your results in the parallelisation of GEANT ?

        - What were the main proplems in the portation of GEANT to
          Transputer - Fortran ?

        - Is it only a single- or multi-transputer version ?

        - What is the minimum amount of RAM needed for running GEANT
          on transputers ?

        - Wich compiler version do you use ?
          We are using 3L Parallel Fortran 2.0.

It would be a great help, if anyone could put the actual version at my
disposal.

I look forward to receiving your answer and support as soon as possible.

Many thanks,
Kind regards,


Markus Bohn

At a recent TP-workshop at CERN, a JM Thenard of LAPP gave a talk about
GEANT on TP's. They even have published a paper about it:

    A Multi-transputer environment for GEANT3.
