PETRA IV will be the ultimate 3D microscope which will fundamentally change the way X-ray science can be done. To reach these ambitious goals, DESY plans to convert the PETRA storage ring into an ultralow emittance synchrotron radiation source, providing beams of hard X-rays with unprecedented coherence properties that can be focused on dimensions in the nanometre-regime. This is only possible by the high-quality electron beams in the storage ring. For the successful PETRA IV design the accelerator scientists are currently preparing the technical design report (TDR) at DESY for funding from the German government. Due to the demand for the precise characterization of the beam, advanced beam physics simulations are essential. Many aspects of it have been carried out by utilizing the local computing resource at DESY. Here, we propose the most demanding work of realistic intrabeam scattering by using the super-computing facility via GCS.
