Past research has proposed numerous hardware prefetching techniques, most of which rely on exploiting one specific type of program context information (e.g., program counter, cacheline address) to predict future memory accesses. These…
Quarkonia production in hadronic collisions is far from being understood as none of the existing models can correctly describe the wealth of available data. In particular, LHCb and CMS experiments have reported that PYTHIA 8 cannot…
First-principle simulations are at the heart of the high-energy physics research program. They link the vast data output of multi-purpose detectors with fundamental theory predictions and interpretation. This review illustrates a wide range…
We argue that the Julia programming language is a compelling alternative to implementations in Python and C++ for common data analysis workflows in high energy physics. We compare the speed of implementations of different workflows in Julia…
Python for Power System Analysis (PyPSA) is a free software toolbox for simulating and optimising modern electrical power systems over multiple periods. PyPSA includes models for conventional generators with unit commitment, variable…

The interpretation of measurements of high-energy particle collisions relies heavily on the performance of full event generators. By far the largest amount of time to predict the kinematics of multi-particle final states is dedicated to the…
We compare the three general-purpose Monte Carlo event generators, HERWIG, PYTHIA, and SHEPRA for jet photoproduction processes in $e^+e^-$ and $ep$ collisions. Due to the lower energy scales probed, photoproduction is particularly…
Provided SUSY is realized in Nature, future colliders like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and a future e+e- linear collider (LC) will provide a wealth of data on SUSY phenomena. One important task will be to extract the Lagrangian…
High-energy physics data analysis relies heavily on the comparison between experimental and simulated data as stressed lately by the Higgs search at LHC and the recent identification of a Higgs-like new boson. The first link in the full…
The LHC data have unveiled unexpected features in proton-proton (pp) collisions, namely, collective-like behavior and strangeness enhancement. Originally, these new effects were discovered only in high-multiplicity pp collisions. However,…
A new release of the Monte Carlo program Herwig++ (version 2.1) is now available. This version includes a number of significant improvements including: an eikonal multiple parton-parton scattering model of the underlying event; the…
We present Bill2d, a modern and efficient C++ package for classical simulations of two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. Bill2d can be used for various billiard and diffusion problems with one or more charged particles with interactions,…
We present a sequential nine-parameter retune of PYTHIA 8.316, built on the Monash 2013 baseline, for soft-QCD observables in proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=0.9$--$13$ TeV. The tune is constructed with direct generator evaluation…
Distributed, large-scale quantum computing will need architectures that combine matter-based qubits with photonic links, but today's software stacks target either gate-based chips or linear-optical devices in isolation. We introduce Optyx,…
Heterogeneity is the prevalent trend in the rapidly evolving high-performance computing (HPC) landscape in both hardware and application software. The diversity in hardware platforms, currently comprising various accelerators and a future…
The Rivet library is an important toolkit in particle physics, and serves as a repository for analysis data and code. It allows for comparisons between data and theoretical calculations of the final state of collision events. This paper…
