Summer Student Work Project Report - STEFANO PIOLI

In this work I learned more about of the language CUDA to evaluate the possibility to implement the parallel computing on GPU in some FLUKA's routine. The project focused on the generation of random numbers by analyzing how this was currently done by FLUKA's routine and how it was possible to reproduce and / or optimize by implementing the use of a GPU. During the work it was necessary to study the properties of the RNG algorithms, the best strategies for allocating memory in CUDA and benchmarking techniques.
