A multi-dimensional integration package for a vector processor
Description
Abstract A program package, VBASES, a supercomputer version of multi-dimensional integration package BASES, has been developed. It was applied to the calculation of cross section for the radiative Bhabha process. The execution time of the integration was shortened by a factor of 80 in comparison with that by a scalar computer. Title of program: VBASES Catalogue Id: ABBU_v1_0 Nature of problem In high energy physics the numerical integration package is used to obtain the cross section for the physical process. When the physical process is complicated, the integrand may become a very long Fortran source code. In such a case, the integration itself requires too much CPU time for practical use. Versions of this program held in the CPC repository in Mendeley Data ABBU_v1_0; VBASES; 10.1016/0010-4655(88)90201-9 This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2019)
