Numerical simulation of beam-beam effects in particle colliders are crucial in understanding and the design of future machines such as electron-ion colliders (JLEIC), linac-ring machines (eRHIC) or LHeC. These simulations model the non-linear collision dynamics of two counter rotating beams in particle colliders for millions of turns. In particular, at each turn, the algorithm simulates the collision of two directed beams propagating at different speeds with different number of bunches each. This leads to non-pair-wise collisions of beams with different number of bunches that results in an increase in the computational load proportional to the number of bunches in the …
