Abstract

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a high energy physics experiment installed and operating on board the International Space Station (ISS) since May 2011 and expected to last beyond 2024. The details of porting the AMS software to the IBM Blue Gene/Q Architecture are discussed. The performance of the AMS reconstruction and simulation software in that architecture is evaluated and compared to the performance obtained on Intel based architecture.
