Design and validation of a novel dosimetry phantom for motion management audits
Abstract Background We present a novel phantom design for conducting end‐to‐end dosimetry audits for respiratory motion management of two anatomical treatment sites. The design enables radiochromic film measurements of the dose administered to the target throughout the respiratory cycle (motion‐included) and the dose delivered to the time‐averaged ...

A Python package for fast GPU‐based proton pencil beam dose calculation
Abstract Purpose Open‐source GPU‐based Monte Carlo (MC) proton dose calculation algorithms provide high speed and unparalleled accuracy but can be complex to integrate with new applications and remain slower than GPU‐based pencil beam (PB) methods, which sacrifice some physical accuracy for sub‐second plan calculation.

Accelerating Large Language Model Training with 4D Parallelism and Memory Consumption Estimator [PDF]
In large language model (LLM) training, several parallelization strategies, including Tensor Parallelism (TP), Pipeline Parallelism (PP), Data Parallelism (DP), as well as Sequence Parallelism (SP) and Context Parallelism (CP), are employed to distribute model parameters, activations, and optimizer states across devices.

Evaluation of internal target volume of abdominal tumors using cine‐MRI
Abstract Introduction The detailed anatomy visualization with magnetic resonance (MR)‐guided radiotherapy is particularly attractive for abdominal treatments, but patient respiratory motion can compromise image quality. The “navigator technique” produces high‐quality 3D images, triggered by diaphragm displacement, in exhale phase only.

xDiT: an Inference Engine for Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) with Massive Parallelism [PDF]
Diffusion models are pivotal for generating high-quality images and videos. Inspired by the success of OpenAI's Sora, the backbone of diffusion models is evolving from U-Net to Transformer, known as Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). However, generating high-quality content necessitates longer sequence lengths, exponentially increasing the computation ...
