MCnet/Rivet - Speed and accuracy in the LHC's MC analysis tool

Rivet is a software package for performing data analysis on simulated particle collision events like those in the Large Hadron Collider. This project will focus on making Rivet performant on modern CPU architectures in HEP and HPC compute facilities, particularly ensuring that the central result caching and dispatching system is thread-safe and amenable to vectorized compiler optimizations. We will be working to Improve the Rivet's computational performance, make it thread-safe, profile and optimize the expensive computational components and ensure continuity of physics behaviour via the Gitlab CI engine.
