HEPGAME Clause Samples

HEPGAME. The work in the thesis is part of High Energy Physics Game (HEPGAME) project [Ver13]. The HEPGAME project intends to use techniques from game playing for solv- ing large equations in particle physics (High Energy Physics (HEP)) calculations. One of these techniques is MCTS. Before the beginning of the project, it was clear that without parallelization any algorithm based on MCTS cannot be useful. The main prerequisite for the parallelization was that the algorithm should be executed in a reasonable time when trying to simplify large equations. Therefore, our focus in this research was on finding new methods to parallelize the MCTS algorithm. The multi- threaded version of the FORM program (i.e., TFORM) [TV10] can use our findings. FORM is open source software used for solving large High Energy Physics (HEP) equa- tions. FORM has an optimization module which receives the main conclusions of our research.
