Elements that have been parallelized in Pelegant

The particular physical elements that take advantage of parallel computation in the present version of the code are:

  1. Drift spaces, dipoles, quadrupoles, sextuoples, higher multipoles, dipole correctors, and wiggler magnets, whether symplectically integrated or modeled with a transport matrix (up to 3rd order). Symplectically integrated elements can optionally include both quantum and classical synchrotron radiation effects.

  2. Radio frequency cavities, including accelerating and deflecting cavities, with constant field amplitude.

  3. Accelerating cavities with phase, voltage, and frequency modulation or ramping.

  4. Beam collimating and scraping elements.

  5. Field-map integration elements, such as dipoles, x-y dependent maps, and solenoids.

  6. Reference energy matching points.

  7. Beam watch points, which may involve parallel computation of beam moments or dumping of particle coordinates.

  8. Scattering elements, including lumped-element simulation of synchrotron radiation.

We have a very small number of elements which have not been parallelized. They are either new elements or used infrequently. Here is an explicit list of the elements which have NOT been parallelized:
