GAPS v2 is a GPU-accelerated parton shower for initial and final state emissions with NLO matching that achieves speed and energy performance on par with a 96-core CPU cluster for NLO Z production at the LHC.

abstract
We perform a detailed study of the sources of perturbative uncertainty in parton shower predictions within the Herwig 7 event generator. We benchmark two rather different parton shower algorithms, based on angular-ordered and dipole-type evolution, against each other. We deliberately choose leading order plus parton shower as the benchmark setting to identify a controllable set of uncertainties. This will enable us to reliably assess improvements by higher-order contributions in a follow-up work.
