2 Computing at Walter Reed
Master Node Cluster Node Number of Units 1 5 Number of Processors 2 (10 total) Processor Type G5, 64-bit Processor Speed 2.5 GHz (4.5 GHz Intel) RAM 1GB/processor 512MB/processor September 16, 2018September 16, 2018 The Henry Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Rockville, MD Radiation Oncology, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC 20307

3 Characterizing % Depth-Dose
Investigate properties of the clinical proton depth-dose in homogeneous and inhomogeneous materials. For quality assurance measures we need to understand properties of dose in heterogeneous structures.
