Abstract
The Virtual Monte Carlo (VMC) [1] provides the abstract interface to the Monte Carlo transport codes: GEANT 3.21 [2], Geant4 [3], and FLUKA [4]. The user VMC based application, independent from the specific Monte Carlo codes, can be then run with all supported simulation programs. VMC has been developed by the ALICE Offline Project and it has drawn attention in other experimental frameworks.Since its first release in 2002, the implementation of the VMC for Geant4 (Geant4 VMC) has been continuously maintained and developed, driven by the evolution of Geant4 on one side and the requirements from users on the other side. In this paper we report on new features in this tool, we present its development multi-threading version based on the Geant4 MT prototype [5] as well as the time comparisons of equivalent native Geant4 and VMC test applications.
