Language and design evolution of the OpenMC Monte Carlo particle transport code

Abstract

The OpenMC Monte Carlo particle transport code has been continuously developed for 13 years by a large community of contributors. In that time span, the codebase has undergone significant changes that have redefined what OpenMC is and made it an enduring presence in the nuclear science and engineering community. In this paper, we discuss the evolution of programming language use in OpenMC, trends in the overall design of the programming interfaces, and implications for the future of the code.
