April 24, 2007Deng Ziyan, IHEP23 Performance: speed  Average 0.9 second per physics event  About 1.5 times slower than BESII simulation (G3) Responsible: J. Apostolakis / G. Cosmo Description: "Compared to G3 simulation, under similar circumstances G4 is reported by the LHC experiments, to be a factor slower. A study group started last year to address this issue, and should continue with more priority. This is expected to be a collaboration between G4 and the users."
