MolFlow+ and SynRad+ are open-source test-particle Monte Carlo simulators for ultra-high vacuum and synchrotron radiation, respectively. Developed at CERN since 2012, more than a thousand users are using them not only in accelerators, but also in the space, semiconductor and even gas transport industries.
The codes are written in C++, with the user interface in OpenGL. The two codes share part of their codebase and differ only in the actual physics. They run on all desktop operating systems and support different CPU architectures (x86 and ARM). They also have a command-line interface for automation and for cluster calculations with MPI. Parallel computing is achieved with OpenMP. The simulations are either static or time dependent.
There are several projects ongoing with the aim to upgrade the codes:

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern.
Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
