Detailed Timing Example
This example demonstrates how to set up detailed timing for a specific detector pattern in Gaussino. The whole purpose of the detailed timing is to measure the time taken by Geant4 to process each step in the simulation. You will need to define a detector pattern like the one below, which is a cube in this case based on the setup provided in section Running your first simulation
Add the following code to your options file:
from Configurables import GaussinoGeometry
GaussinoGeometry(
DetailedTimingOpts={
"DetectorPatterns": {
"Embedder_Cube": [
cube_name, # first pattern
]
},
}
)
Once the simulation stops, you will see the following output in the Gaussino log:
