Run, Event and Detector Response WG

Work plan 2009

1] Parallel navigation

 - Finalize
 - Co-work with Geometry and Generic Processes WGs

2] Command-based scoring

 - Finalize box and cylindrical mesh types
 - Introduce spherical mesh

3] Prototype multi-core extension of Geant4

  Gene Cooperman and his student, Xin Dong, developed a prototype 
thread-parallel version of Geant4 (event-level parallelism)
to take advantage of multi-core processors.  

  In this prototype all global data is made thread-local (thread-private).  
Future work will concentrate on enhancing the spatial locality of 
the code to better use the limited cache.
