I suggest we approve this request. ----------------------------------------- Ray Bair Argonne National Laboratory On 2/22/17, 6:56 PM, "[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]" <[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]> wrote: Hello, A change in allocation has been requested: Requester: neveu (Nicole Neveu) Project: AWA-beam-dynamics Title: High Accuracy Beam Dynamic Simulations Description: The primary goal of this project is to simulate the two linear electron accelerators at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility. To date, a full 3D models of the beam lines has not been simulated. Using OPAL-T and the parallel capabilities of Blues, we seek better agreement between simulations and experiment by accounting for 3D effects, space charge, coherent synchrotron radiation, and wakefields. Current: undetermined amount Justification: Requested: 90000 A specific reason has been given: The current optimization project is larger than expected. In addition to the need for large random sample runs (to probe/define the parameter space), single optimization runs are taking a day or more to converge. Also, 3D RF field maps were recently incorporated, which adds time to any run, including those mentioned above. This needs to be approved and the final allocation amount decided upon.
