The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade presents new challenges to the computing infrastructure of the LHC experiments. Monte Carlo event generation is projected to account for 10–20% of total CPU usage at ATLAS and CMS, making the speed-ups of these tools a more pressing requirement. MadGraph7, the next major release of the MadGraph5_aMC@NLO framework, addresses this challenge via a complete redesign of the event-generation pipeline with hardware acceleration in mind, and several algorithmic improvements.
Three new developments will be integrated in MadGraph7. This talk presents their main features and how they combine to create a generation framework ready for the computational demands of the HL-LHC.
