Re: Article in ICFA Beam Dynamics Newletters #82

[David Carl Sagan]

Hello Everyone:

This email is going out to the larger Snowmass21 accelerator modeling group to see if there is anyone else that is interested in helping with the paper (see below for details). Jean-Luc will be sending out a Zoom invite for a meeting tomorrow at 1pm PT / 4pm ET for all people who are interested in helping. Essentially what I would like to talk about at the meeting is the organization of the paper and the paper writing process and who will take responsibility for what topics.

— Cheers, David

Yes I was thinking along the same lines.  I took a quick at the papers and here is a quick list of Topics to cover in the paper and papers that touch on the topic. Papers can be found at <https://snowmass21.org/computational/simulations>.

Topic                      Paper

------------- ----------------

Parallezation 17. Portable Parallelization Strategies - a CCE project

Integrated simulations 20. End-to-End Virtual Accelerators

Simulation coordination 21. Center(s) for Accelerator and Beam Physics Modeling

38. Embracing modern software tools and user-friendly practices, when distributing scientific codes

Simulation Ecosystem 22. A modular community ecosystem for multiphysics particle accelerator modeling and design.

40. Beam Dynamics Toolkit

Interdisciplinary simulations 32. Interdisciplinary simulations: Integrating accelerator RF and particle-matter interaction codes

Modeling Needs 33. Modeling Needs for Structure Wakefield Accelerators

Future computing 35. Getting Ready in Algorithm and Software Development for the Arrival of the Quantum Computing Age

AI

It turns out we need to have the paper finished by the end of this month which does not give us much time. I will set up an initial zoom meeting shortly. If people have suggestions please email.

Hi David,

Sure. I will be happy to help writing the paper. Given the themes, we could even draw some material from our Snowmass LOIs.

Best,

Jean-Luc

Hi All:

This is an opportunity to advertise the need for developing software toolkits, defining interoperability standards, coordination (modeling center), etc. To have any hope of writing a paper, there needs to be enough interest. So my questions to you are:

1) Are you interested in helping write a paper?

2) Are there any other people who you think would be interested in helping?

3) I’ve mentioned some topics that could be covered above. Are there any other areas that should be included?

To: David Carl Sagan <david...@cornell.edu>

Dear Dave,

 

       As the editor of the next newsletter, I would like to invite you to write an article to address the accelerator physics and simulation in the future accelerators. Your thoughts of the research topics will be greatly appreciated to guide our community. If you like, you can make an overview about simulations in general, leading toward future such as GPU computing, ML and AI. The length of the article is preferred approximately 15 pages but not exceed 20 pages.

 

       The proposed topics are attached for your consideration. The newsletter will be published in September, 2021 as a JINST Special Issue. The link to recent issues is included in this email. 

 

        I would like make the newsletter an important reference to the future of accelerator modeling. If you have any suggestions to improve the contents, please let me know. You are a leading expert in on the proposed topic. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated.

 

Best regards,

 

Yunhai Cai

SLAC

Hello Everyone:

Much work has been put into the paper and much thanks to the people who have helped. The paper will be sent to Yunhai this Sunday for review. Currently it is in fair shape but still needs more work. Any help is greatly appreciated. If you do want to pitch in but do not yet have access to the Overleaf area, please contact Jean-Luc.

—Cheers, David
