Description

The Geant4-DNA extension enables quantitative estimation of biological effects by radiation. Its physics processes generate large amount of low energy secondary particles (~ a few eV). The simulation needs enormous computing time for tracking down to very low energy. This work presents the implementation of the physics modes of Geant4-DNA in GPU architecture. We have observed significant performance gain with the same accuracy as Geant4-DNA simulation.
