Towards hardware acceleration for parton densities estimation
In this proceedings we describe the computational challenges associated to
the determination of parton distribution functions (PDFs). We compare the
performance of the convolution of the parton distributions with matrix elements
using different hardware instructions. We quantify and identify the most
promising data-model configurations to increase PDF fitting performance in
adapting the current code frameworks to hardware accelerators such as graphics
processing units.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, 3 tables, in proceedings of PHOTON 201
