Parallel Fission Bank Algorithms in Monte Carlo Criticality Calculations

In this work we describe a new method for parallelizing the source iterations in a Monte Carlo criticality calculation. Instead of having one global fission bank that needs to be synchronized, as is traditionally done, our method has each processor keep track of a local fission bank while still pres...
