Towards hardware acceleration for parton densities estimation

23 Sep 2019  ·  Stefano Carrazza, Juan Cruz-Martinez, Jesús Urtasun-Elizari, Emilio Villa ·

In this proceedings we describe the computational challenges associated to the determination of parton distribution functions (PDFs). We compare the performance of the convolution of the parton distributions with matrix elements using different hardware instructions. We quantify and identify the most promising data-model configurations to increase PDF fitting performance in adapting the current code frameworks to hardware accelerators such as graphics processing units.
