[mcstas-users] Video talks from Virtual McStas Seminar organised by MLZ

[Peter Kjær Willendrup]

Dear all,


The McStas team gave 3 talks at an MLZ Virtual McStas Seminar last week, arranged by Peter Link MLZ. The videos are now available on YouTube:

McStas 3.0 - GPU support in McStas (Peter Willendrup)<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQHiLHeI4Tk>
Abstract: The recent McStas 3.0 marks a big step forward with added support for acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs. The presentation will highlight the main changes between the McStas 2 and McStas 3 series and with emphasis on what modifications are needed to port an existing instrument or component. Finally the presentation will discuss the areas of McStas 3 that are not yet fully developed and mature.

McStas Union components (Mads Bertelsen)<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDwZ_ryPl5M>
Abstract: The McStas Union components is a set of components that are used in together to describe complex parts of neutron instruments where multiple scattering can be an important aspect. The user will describe scattering properties in a modular fashion to describe materials. Complex geometry can be described, allowing hollow regions, windows and similar with full multiple scattering, which is especially useful for simulating sample environments. The talk will have a focus on the practical use of these components, teaching the basic concepts, as well as showcasing what can be achieved.

McStasScript (Mads Bertelsen)<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeM2S4ht9hM>
Abstract: As python has become the main language for scientific software, it was decided to introduce a python interface to McStas called McStasScript. Using McStasScript a user can describe an instrument, perform simulations and analyze the data directly from a python script. This simplifies including McStas in more advanced workflows. The talk will introduce McStasScript and show how it allows using McStas in a new way that appeals to both new and experienced users.

All the best and enjoy,

Peter
