Abstract: SixTrackLib is a library for performing beam-dynamics simulations on highly parallel computing devices such as shared memory multi-core processors or graphical processing units (GPUs). Its single-particle approach fits very well with parallel implementations with reasonable baseline performance, making such a library an interesting building block for various use cases, including simulations covering collective effects. We describe optimizations to improve their performance on SixTrackLib’s main target platforms and the associated performance gains. Finally, we outline the implemented technical interfaces and extensions that allow SixTrackLib to be used in a wider range of applications and studies.
