AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">We study the growth of epitaxial thin films on pre-patterned substrates that
influence the surface diffusion of subsequently deposited material using a kinetic Monte
Carlo algorithm that combines the use of inverted lists with rejection. The resulting
algorithm is well adapted to systems with spatially heterogeneous hopping rates.
To evaluate the algorithm&#39;s performance we compare it with an efficient, binary-tree
based algorithm. A key finding is that the relative performance of the inverted list
algorithm improves with increasing system size.</p>
