Description
In this talk we will describe a joint project between Stanford University, SLAC, KEK and NVIDIA for the development of a radiation therapy simulation system based on Geant4 physics that runs on GPUs.
The system is capable of performing radiation simulation with electron and gamma primaries on voxelised geometries for the calculation of deposited dose in the voxels.
The methodology implemented will be presented together with preliminary validation results and the speed-up gain obtained with respect to an equivalent CPU code based on full Geant4 simulation.
