Abstract

The deployment of the Unified Accelerator Library (UAL) environment on the parallel cluster is presented. The approach is based on the message-passing interface (MPI) library and the Perl adapter that allows one to control and mix together the existing conventional UAL components with the new MPI-based parallel extensions. In the paper, we provide timing results and describe the application of the new environment to the SNS ring complex beam dynamics studies, particularly, simulations of several physical effects, such as space charge, field errors, fringe fields, and others
