[Gate-users] Gate on PC and cluster

[yawen zheng]

 Dear Users,
I simulated a cylindrical PET system using cylindrical source
(back-to-back gamma) at the center of the detector for the simple
study.The cylindrical PET
was based on GE DLS PET,and with cylindrical phantom filled with
aluminium.I ran it on PC with virtualbox (ubuntu system) and cluster.
PC is 32-bit machine
while cluster is 64-bit.



Here are the results with phantom or without phantom ,on PC or on
cluster and Gate4.0 or Gate 5.0 ,you can see the results
with phantom on PC and on cluster are so different.Did anybody else
encounter this or know how to solve this problem?
