AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a user experiencing long processing times when generating events in MadGraph, specifically with a complex input syntax involving exotic physics. The user reports that the process took over 500 minutes without results, while a simplified version completed quickly. A suggestion is made to switch from MadGraph 4 to MadGraph 5, which is noted for its improved speed and efficiency, especially for complex processes. It is emphasized that MadGraph 5 is backward compatible with models designed for MadGraph 4, allowing the user to transition without losing functionality. The user expresses reluctance to switch due to model compatibility but is encouraged to consider MadGraph 5 for better performance.

Dear forum,
I am new here, so hi to all!
I am using Madgraph to generate some events about exotic physics. The problem is that when I give this line
gg>(rho>(pip>j j)(pip>j j))(rho>(pip>j j)(pip>j j))
All these are declared in the particles.dat file.
The problem is that it takes too much time when I am trying the
./bin/newprocess
I left it working for 500 minutes and no results... It was saying:
Running...

So, I tried to make it smaller and it finished too fast! Do you have any idea, why it takes too much time? Is there any way making it use both cores?

Dear magistros,

It seems from your syntax as if you are using MadGraph 4. Please switch to MadGraph 5, which can do this type of processes in quite reasonable time. Always try to use the most up-to-date software, it can make a world of difference (you find some speed benchmarks in the MadGraph 5 release paper http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1106.0522).
 
Addendum: Please note that in order for us to directly receive your questions regarding MadGraph, please post your questions at https://answers.launchpad.net/madgraph5 instead of Physicsforums.

All the best,
Johan
 
Dear Johan,
thank you for your reply.. I can not use MadGraph5 because the model I want to run is programmed for MadGraph4...
But I will ask for MadGraph5.
 
Dear Magistros,

Of course MadGraph 5 is fully backward compatible in terms of models.

All the best,
Johan
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
