  We investigate the transport dynamics of partons in proton-proton collisions
at the Large Hadron Collider using a Boltzmann transport approach, the parton
cascade model. The calculations include semi-hard pQCD interaction of partons
populating the nucleons and provide a space-time description of the collision
in terms of cascading partons undergoing scatterings and fragmentations. Parton
production and number of collisions rise rapidly with increase in center of
mass energy of the collision. For a given center of mass energy, the number of
parton interactions is seen to rise stronger than linear with decreasing impact
parameter before saturating for very central collisions. The strangeness
enhance factor $\gamma_s$ for the semi-hard processes is found to rise rapidly
and saturate towards the highest collision energies. Overall, our study
indicates a significant amount of partonic interactions in proton-proton
collisions, which supports the observation of fluid-like behavior for high
multiplicity proton-proton collisions observed in the experiments.
