Description
Gaussino is an experiment-independent HEP simulation code built on top of the Gaudi software framework. It provides generic components and interfaces for event generation, detector simulation, geometry, monitoring and output. In this talk we give an overview of recent developments in Gaussino, and some examples of their adoption in the LHCb Simulation since our previous report at CHEP2024. In the generation phase, a recent restructuring of components and interfaces allows an easier integration of Matrix Element generators like Powheg and MadGraph and is being ported to all other generators, notably including Pythia. The move to the new Gaudi infrastructure for user configuration, which is more flexible and robust, is being completed. Progress is also being made towards the integration and testing of the AdePT component, which offloads part of the detector simulation to GPUs. More generally, the separation of the experiment-independent and LHCb-specific components is being finalised, to ease the adoption of Gaussino by other HEP experiments.
