General Structure

Quicksilver Arcane Mini-App (QAMA)

QAMA is a Monte-Carlo particle transport mini-application. This application was written using Quicksilver, a mini-app written by LLNL but utilizing resources provided by the Arcane framework.

Here is a diagram representing the structure of Quicksilver (available here: https://github.com/arcaneframework/arcane-benchs):

The following elements can be found (among others):

• 3 modules named "QS", "SamplingMC", and "TrackingMC".
• 1 "singleton" service named "RNG".

In each module, we have the three usual files:

• a header (.h)
• a source file (.cc)
• a file containing the dataset options (.axl)

The interface for the RNG service is a service interface included in the Arcane framework. In Quicksilver, we use our own implementation.

Warning

Certain services, such as BasicParticleExchanger implementing the interface Arcane::IParticleExchanger or SimpleCsvOutput implementing the interface Arcane::ISimpleTableOutput, are services included directly in the Arcane framework (this is why they are dashed).
