VMC++ accuracy and speed

Sub-percent agreement with EGSnrc

Is about 100 times faster than BEAMnrc for linac head simulations

Is 50-150 times faster than EGS4/PRESTA for electron and photon beam

simulations in the patient geometry for comparable accuracy.

CPU times for in-patient simulations (10x10 beam, 5 mm voxels, 2%

statistical uncertainty):

o

~30 seconds for electrons
