Geant4-MT 9.4.p01 Prototype
released 31 October 2011

The Geant4 multi-threaded (Geant4-MT) prototype source code is freely available. See the licence conditions.

Feedback for any problem found is welcome; any discussion or problem, including how to convert an application to best use Geant4-MT can be posted to the dedicated thread on Geant4 Hypernews.

Notes:

The current prototype release is based on the sequential version 9.4.p01; the data sets for release 9.4 series should be used
As this is prototype code, it is distributed "as is", and full support cannot be provided
It supports all kinds of geometries, detector sensitivity and scoring features
Limitations:
- Only Linux platforms (SLC5) are supported, with gcc-4.1 or greater
- Only Configure/GNUmake build system is currently supported.
  At installation, it is suggested to use the default choices provided by the Configure script (except for paths)!
- Works for batch jobs only; interactive GUI/visualization are not yet adapted
- Tested only for the most common physics-lists setups
Only source code and no pre-built libraries are provided
A minimal set of examples is provided; for each one it is possible to specify the number of threads as additional argument to the batch execution command - i.e. for 8 threads (cores): $ ParN02 run1.mac 8
It requires minimal user-code migration. Relevant documentation can be found in the users' guide included in the Document directory of the distribution.
