ABSTRACT
We report on the RTGrid project, which investigates approaches for using high-performance computing infrastructures, such as the grid, in order to reduce the turnaround time of Monte Carlo (MC) simulation-based radiotherapy treatment planning. The main aim of this project is to render accurate dose calculations using MC simulations clinically feasible. To this end, we have successfully implemented and deployed the RTGrid distributed simulation framework for MC dose calculations. In this paper, we present the main experimental findings.
