Abstract :
ISDEP (Integrator of Stochastic Differential Equations for Plasmas) is a Monte Carlo code that solves the plasma dynamics in a fusion device and perfectly scales on distributed computing platforms. Montera is a recent framework developed for achieving Grid efficient executions of Monte Carlo applications, as ISDEP is. In this work, the improvement of performing the calculations of ISDEP with Montera, which rise up to 34.9%, is shown as well as an analysis on the implications it could have, which aim to show to the fusion research community the benefits of using Montera.
