Abstract: A parallel algorithm for time-independent Monte Carlo transport is successful since particles are independent and they are distributed to multiple processors.However,for time-dependent Monte Carlo transport problems, the parallel efficiency reduces and the parallel scale is limited due to the communication of scattering source attribute and meshes in each time-step.We propose two algorithms in them adaptive processor assignment and optimized processor choice are obtained.With a Monte Carlo stratified sampling technique for scattering source treatment the communication cost is reduced greatly.The parallel expandability is improved.A large speedup over the basic algorithm is obtained.

Key words: time-dependent, Monte Carlo transport, adaptive processor assignment, stratified sampling of scattering source
