| Abstract | The parallelization of a Monte Carlo program for the NA48 experiment is presented. As a first step, a task farming structure was realized. Based on this, a further step, making use of a distributed database for showers in the electro-magnetic calorimeter, was implemented. Further possibilities for using parallel processing for a quasi-real time calibration of the calorimeter are described. |
