The Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is regarded as the gold standard for dose calculation in brachytherapy, but it consumes a large amount of computing resources. The development of heterogeneous computing makes it possi-ble to substantially accelerate calculations with hardware accelerators. Accordingly, this study develops a fast MC tool, called THUBrachy, which can be accelerated by several types of hardware accelerators. THUBrachy can simulate photons with energy less than 3 MeV and con-siders all photon interactions in the energy range. It was benchmarked against the American Association of Physi-cists in Medicine Task Group No. 43 Report using a water phantom and validated with Geant4 using a clinical case. A performance test was conducted using the clinical case, showing that a multicore central processing unit, Intel Xeon Phi, and graphics processing unit (GPU) can effi-ciently accelerate the simulation. GPU-accelerated THU-Brachy is the fastest version, which is 200 times faster than the serial version and approximately 500 times faster than Geant4. The proposed tool shows great potential for fast and accurate dose calculations in clinical applications.

中国漫画从业者的生存境遇与西班牙漫画家非常相似:替外国人代笔,原创作品不受欢迎。    2011年春晚,“美女漫画家”夏达在镜头上的一闪而过给观众留下了深刻的印象。随后的各种报道也让中国漫画业又一次进入了人们的视野。中国漫画产业市场庞大与从业人员收入窘迫之间不成比例的关系,人们观念中“不好看”的国产漫画作品和才华横溢的从业人员之间奇特的对比,一本本漫画杂志火爆创刊却黯然停刊的悲情循环,很长时间以来
摘要:新课程改革为全面推进素质教育,全面提高教育质量,培养适应社会发展的创新型人才,提供了发展和机遇。而课堂教学是实施素质教育的主阵地、主渠道。培养学生的创新能力,应是素质教育的最高层次。小学语文课堂教学作为教育教学的主阵地,更应加强这方面的探索。促进学生德、智、体等各方面全面发展,培养“四有”人才,对于提高民族素质都有重要的意义。  关键词:小学语文:素质教育  随着社会经济的发展,社会对于创新
