Abstract:

This report presents the results of a one year distributed Computer Science and Engineering (dCSE) support project for the code CASINO which has been focused on three main issues: i) better memory utilisation using shared data between tasks belonging to the same processor, ii) acceleration of the computation speed by implementing second level parallelism and iii) improved input reading speed for large sets of initial data.
