Commissioning of GPU–Accelerated Monte Carlo Code FRED for Clinical Applications in Proton Therapy

Commissioning of GPU–Accelerated Monte Carlo Code FRED for Clinical Applications in Proton Therapy

We present commissioning and validation of Fred, a graphical processing unit (GPU)–accelerated Monte Carlo code, for two proton beam therapy facilities of different beam line design: CCB (Krakow, IBA) and EMORY (Atlanta, Varian). We followed clinical acceptance tests required to approve the certifie...
