I used the EGSnrc/BEAMnrc/DOSXYZnrc Monte Carlo simulation codes during my doctoral and post-doctoral work at QUT. This involved the use of QUT’s High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities. I’ve previously written about setting up EGSnrc on that system here. A number…
High performance computing (HPC) facilities are very useful for Monte Carlo simulations – the simulation of particle transport is an application ideal for parallel processing. This post details discusses how the HPC facilities at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT)…
The following percentage depth dose (PDD) values were obtained for “open-field” electron beams (that is, with jaws fully open at 40×40 cm² and no applicators attached). The beams were delivered using a Varian 21iX linear accelerator in the process of being…
The software I’ve developed typically supports the export of data in CSV format, as such data can generally be processed simply by third party software. The processing of comma-separated values (CSV) is a fairly simple process – and is probably…
