Abstract

This paper discusses the massively parallel Monte Carlo radiation transport package Shift, developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and it reviews the capabilities, implementation, and parallel performance of this code package. This code package is designed to scale well on high performance architectures. Scaling results demonstrate very good strong and weak scaling as applied to LWR analysis problems. Also, benchmark results from various reactor problems show that Shift results compare well to other contemporary Monte Carlo codes and experimental results.
