Dear colleagues,
after having been publicly labelled as being naive, I'm somewhat mildly
surprised that there was no answer yet to my, presumably na=EFve,
question why in times of multi-core chips, to be found in phones, iPads,
i-whatever, it is still the user's responsibility to manually initiate &
distribute runs in parallel. Therefore, I'd kindly like to re-ask this
question.
Given the fact that even Excel provides parallelization on multi-core
chips and that there is a popular and widely cited statement among
well-renowned mathematicians that Monte Carlo is "embarrassingly
parallel" I assume that this has been a deliberate design
decision/philosophy in the case of FLUKA and I would be interested to
learn the reasoning behind.
I appreciate your help and in expectance of your answer I remain with
kind regards
Chris
