Abstract
We present Rex and teaRex, C++17 libraries for efficient management of parton-level hard scattering event information and completely generic reweighting of such events, respectively. Rex is primarily an interfacing and I/O library for Les Houches Event format files and provides an internal event format designed with data parallelism in mind, and teaRex extends this format to provide full parton-level reweighting functionality with minimal code needing to be written by the end user. These libraries serve as the foundation for the MadtRex reweighting module for MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, extending the functionality of the CUDACPP plugin to allow for data-parallel model-generic leading order parameter reweighting on SIMD-enabled CPUs and SIMT GPUs, speeding up reweighting by more than two orders of magnitude compared to MadGraph5_aMC@NLO running on the exact same hardware while providing trivial scalability to larger and distributed systems.
