Although the Monte Carlo (MC) codes are natural users of the fast growing capacities in High PerformanceComputing (HPC), adapting production level codes such as TRIPOLI-4 to the hexascale is very challenging. Wepresent here the dual strategy we follow new thoughts and developments for the next versions of TRIPOLI-4, aswell as insights on a prototype of next generation Monte Carlo (NMC) designed from the beginning with hexascalein mind.The Random Generators of the code will also be presented as well as the strategy of verificationof the parallelism.
