  We introduce ALPACA, a Lorentz invariant parton cascade encoding the AMY
effective kinetic theory of QCD at high temperatures. It solves the Boltzmann
equation by explicitly simulating the evolution of parton ensembles
corresponding to single events. We discuss how the effective masses and
temperature entering the elastic collision and splitting/merging rates can be
estimated from just a single event. We perform an extensive validation of the
framework by showing that it reproduces the expected behaviour in thermal
equilibrium.
