摘要: Calculations have been made for a benchmark neutron porosity log problem with the general-purpose Monte Carlo code MCNP (Monte photon) and special-purpose McDNL. For accuracy timing comparison purposes CRAY XMP MicroVax II computers used these codes. The has an analog version of while optimized variance reduction versions both Results indicate that two codes give same results within calculated standard deviations. Comparisons are given discussed (precision) computation times >
