In this unit, we first launch a master thread and initialize the necessary data structures. This include the command line options (cfg), tetrahedral mesh (mesh) and the ray-tracer precomputed data (tracer).

cfg: structure to store all simulation parameters

mesh: structure to store mesh information

tracer: structure to store

To start an MMC simulation, we first create a simulation configuration, initialize all elements to its default settings, and then set user-specified settings via command line or input files.

In the second step, we pre-compute all needed mesh and ray-tracing data and get ready for launching photon simulations.

The core simulation loop is executed in the mmc_run_mp() function where multiple threads are executed to simulate all photons.

Once all photon simulations are complete, we clean up all allocated memory and finish the execution.

Here is the call graph for this function:
