Wether the event number limitation exist?

Asked by Li

Hi,

  When I use PYTHIA8, do I need care about the 50k limitation?

Like:
# Warning: Do not generate more than 1M events in a single run *
# If you want to run Pythia, avoid more than 50k events in a run. *

Best,
Li

More than 50k should not be a problem for pythia8.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

  How about the 1 M limitation ? Is there any problem for the the large ROOT file ( the delphes result).

Hi,

That is more a limitation of our fortran code. At some point we will not be able to generate that many events.
So this has nothing to do with the shower. For large number go events (bigger than 100k), I would actually suggests to either use gridpack and/or multi-run

Cheers,

Olivier
