2026 Work Plan for the Test and Quality Assurance Working Group

Work Plan for 2026

Maintain nightly testing setup (Gunter)
Q/A monitoring with Valgrind and Coverity and general testing/debugging (Gabriele)
Perform regular profiling benchmarking of G4 development and public releases (Julia, Soon)

Release testing
- Maintain nightly testing setup (Gunter)
- Q/A monitoring with Valgrind and Coverity (Gabriele)
- General testing/debugging (Gabriele)
Performance profiling and benchmarking
- Regular profiling/benchmarking of Geant4 development and public releases, maintenance and evolution of the profiling infrastructure in response to the changing computing environment (Julia, Soon)
- Adding of the profiling of new applications as needed and possible (Julia, Guilherme)
- Consulting on the use of performance tools and interpretation of the results as well as evaluating the performance gain of various code improvements/ideas (Canal)
- Conduct performance profiling and optimization studies on GPU-based systems (Kiheyon, Kyungho)
- Study evolving computing architectures using: KISTI-5 (KNL) and KISTI-6 (GPU) (Kiheyon, Kyungho)
- Profiling and validation of the low energy physics by modeling experimental data (Eunju)
- Geant4 speed-up study based on IBS High Performance Computing (Kihong)
- Profiling and validation of the low energy physics (Kihong)
- Improving the speed and interactivity of Geant4 visualizations on remote machines (Kihong)
Continue to encourage the collaboration to provide more tests and more rigorous tests (All)
