| Abstract |
A new GPU based 3D electron tracking code is developed at BNL and benchmarked with both popular existing parallel tracking code and experimental results. The code takes advantage of massive concurrency of GPU cards to track electrons under RF field in 3D Tetrahedron meshed structures. Approximately ten times of FLOPS can be achieved by utilizing GPUs compare to CPUs with same level of power consumption. Different boundary materials can be specified and the 3D EM field can be imported from the result of Omega3P calculation. CUDA_{O}penGL interop was implemented so that the emerging of multipactors can be monitored in real time while the simulation is undergoing. Code also has GPU farm version that can run on multiple GPUs to further increase the turnover of multipacting simulation.
