Kratos-polrad: Novel GPU system for Monte-Carlo simulations with consistent polarization calculations
Kratos-polrad is a new GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo code designed to efficiently calculate polarization in astrophysics. It solves the complex vector radiative transfer equation by tracking Stokes parameters throughout photon paths using quaternion algebra for accurate rotations. This system overcomes traditional computational limits, enabling fast and detailed simulations of polarized radiation from complex environments.
