Description

The Geant4 simulation throughput of LHC experiments is limited by increasing detector complexity in the high-luminosity phase. As high-performance computing shifts toward heterogeneous architectures such as GPUs, GPU-accelerated particle transport simulations offer a potential way to improve performance. Currently, only electromagnetic showers can be offloaded to GPUs, making an efficient CPU–GPU workflow essential. In this contribution, we present state-of-the-art detector simulations for LHC experiments using GPUs, outline the outstanding challenges, and discuss future directions.
