“…With the considerable increase in the computational power, parallel computing has been widely considered in the high-fidelity neutronics analysis codes, such as DeCART (Joo et al, 2004), MPACT (Larsen et al, 2019), nTRACER (Choi et al, 2018), OpenMOC (Boyd et al, 2016), STREAM (Choi et al, 2021), ARCHER (Zhu et al, 2022) etc., in order to improve the performance of solving the neutron transport equations in the nuclear reactors. Similarly, several parallel models of the PANDAS-MOC have been developed based on the nature of distributed and shared memory architectures, including the Pure MPI parallel model (PMPI), Segment OpenMP threading hybrid model (SGP), and Whole-code OpenMP threading hybrid model (WCP).…”
