As the quality of experimental measurements increases, so does the need for Monte Carlo-generated simulated events - both with respect to the total amount and to their precision. In perturbative methods, this involves the evaluation of…

Madgraph5_aMC@NLO is one of the most-frequently used Monte-Carlo event generators at the LHC, and an important consumer of compute resources. The software has been reengineered to maintain the overall look and feel of the user interface…

Physics event generators are essential components of the data analysis software chain of high energy physics experiments, and important consumers of their CPU resources. Improving the software performance of these packages on modern…

Event generators simulate particle interactions using Monte Carlo techniques, providing the primary connection between experiment and theory in experimental high energy physics. These software packages, which are the first step in the…

The matrix element (ME) calculation in any Monte Carlo physics event generator is an ideal fit for implementing data parallelism with lockstep processing on GPUs and vector CPUs. For complex physics processes where the ME calculation is the…

Accurate Monte Carlo simulations for high-energy events at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, are very expensive, both from the computing and storage points of view. We describe a method that allows to consistently re-use parton-level samples…

We detail the implementation of a multi-event interface for next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, allowing tree-level scattering amplitudes for multiple phase space points to be evaluated in each call to the…

In this paper we will describe two new optimisations implemented in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, both of which are designed to speed-up the computation of leading-order processes (for any model). First we implement a new method to evaluate the…

The CUDACPP plugin for MadGraph5_aMC@NLO aims to accelerate leading order tree-level event generation by providing the MadEvent event generator with data-parallel helicity amplitudes. These amplitudes are written in templated C++ and CUDA,…

With the LHC close to complete its 8 TeV run, the experimental searches have already started to probe the vast beyond-the-standard Model scenery. Providing next-to-leading order (NLO) predictions for the major new physics discovery channels…

MadGraph5_aMC@NLO is a software package that allows one to simulate processes of arbitrary complexity, at both the leading and the next-to-leading order perturbative accuracy, with or without matching and multi-jet merging to parton…

We present an FPGA-based study of matrix-element acceleration for Monte Carlo event generation, using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO as a benchmark framework. Two complementary scenarios are considered. First, we implement the full matrix-element…

Accurate predictions for both signal and background events at the LHC are of paramount importance in order to confirm even the smallest deviations from Standard Model predictions. Next-to-leading order Monte Carlo event generators are an…

The generation of unit-weight events for complex scattering processes presents a severe challenge to modern Monte Carlo event generators. Even when using sophisticated phase-space sampling techniques adapted to the underlying transition…

Next-to-leading order event generation for the Standard Model effective field theory has started to become available in the MadGraph5_aMC@NLO framework. In this talk we discuss some of the recent progresses in this direction, with a focus…

With the High Luminosity LHC coming online in the near future, event generators will need to provide very large event samples to match the experimental precision. Currently, the estimated cost to generate these events exceeds the computing…

We study a phenomenological ansatz for merging next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations with Monte Carlo event generators. We reweight them to match bin-integrated NNLO differential distributions. To test this procedure, we study…

We will gain unprecedented, high-accuracy insights into the internal structure of the atomic nucleus thanks to lepton-hadron collision studies in the coming years at the Electron-Ion-Collider (EIC) in the United States. A good control of…

The effort to speed up the Madgraph5_aMC@NLO generator by exploiting CPU vectorization and GPUs, which started at the beginning of 2020, has delivered the first production release of the code for leading-order (LO) processes in October…
