(S.Chekanov, E.May)

ANL BG-HEP library is designed to run CPU-intensive HEP calculations on the BlueGene/Q supercomputer (Vesta/Mira) of Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. The main features of the BG-HEP library are:

• Many packages have been redesigned removing ROOT, HBOOK and CERNLIB calls
• Monte Carlo / NLO programs redesigned to use MPI for random seeds and outputs on multiple cores
• The default output of event records is ProMC file format

The following HEP libraries are supported:

• CERNLIBlite - a light version of CERNLIB (without HBOOK)
• fastjet
• hepmc
• lhapdf5
• lhapdf6
• mcfm - MCFM NLO program with ProMC output ntuples
• jetphox - A JetPhox NLO program
• promc
• protobuf
• pythia8 - Pythia8 with ProMC output ntuples
• zlib

To setup the library, run this setup script:

source /home/chakanau/public/BG-HEP/bghep_setup.sh

This will setup the above libraries. Each library has a “Makefile” which can compile and run a program on BlueGene/Q
