FIESTA 2: Parallelizeable multiloop numerical calculations

The program FIESTA has been completely rewritten. Now it can be used not only as a tool to evaluate Feynman integrals numerically, but also to expand Feynman integrals automatically in limits of momenta and masses with the use of sector decompositions and Mellin–Barnes representations. Other important improvements to the code are complete parallelization (even to multiple computers), high-precision arithmetics (allowing to calculate integrals which were undoable before), new integrators, Speer sectors as a strategy, the possibility to evaluate more general parametric integrals.

Ireland Licensing provisions: GNU GPL version 2 No. of lines in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 39 783 No. of bytes in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 6 154 515 Distribution format: tar.gz Programming language: Wolfram Mathematica 6.0 (or higher) and C Computer: From a desktop PC to a supercomputer Operating system: Unix, Linux, Windows, Mac OS X Has the code been vectorised or parallelized?: Yes, the code has been parallelized for use on multi-kernel computers as well as clusters via Mathlink over the TCP/IP protocol. The program can work successfully with a single processor, however, it is ready to work in a parallel environment and the use of multi-kernel processor and multi-processor computers significantly speeds up the calculation; on clusters the calculation speed can be improved even further. RAM: Depends on the complexity of the problem Classification: 4.4, 4.12, 5, 6.5 Catalogue identifier of previous version: AECP_v1_0 Journal reference of previous version: Comput. Phys. Comm. 180 (2009) 735 External routines: QLink [1], Cuba library [2], MPFR [3] Does the new version supersede the previous version?: Yes Nature of problem: The sector decomposition approach to evaluating Feynman integrals falls apart into the sector decomposition itself, where one has to minimize the number of sectors; the pole resolution and epsilon expansion; and the numerical integration of the resulting expression. Solution method: The sector decomposition is based on a new strategy as well as on classical strategies such as Speer sectors. The sector decomposition, pole resolution and epsilon-expansion are performed in Wolfram Mathematica 6.0 or, preferably, 7.0 (enablin
