Massively Parallel Computing: Unstructured Finite Element Simulations
Massively parallel computing holds the promise of extreme performance. Critical for achieving high performance is the ability to exploit locality of reference and eeective management of the communication resources. This article describes two communication primitives and associated mapping strategies that have been used for several diierent un-structured, three-dimensional, nite element applicat...
متن کاملNonlinear electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations of tokamak plasmas
One of the central physics issues currently targeted by nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations is the role of finite-β effects. The latter change the MHD equilibrium, introduce new dynamical space and time scales, alter and enlarge the zoo of electrostatic microinstabilities and saturation mechanisms, and lead to turbulent transport along fluctuating magnetic field lines. It is shown that the electr...
متن کاملGyrokinetic simulations of ETG and ITG turbulence
We report on the resolution of a significant discrepancy between published continuum-code simulations and subsequent global particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of electron-temperature-gradient (ETG) turbulence. Our investigations, using gyrokinetic δf -PICand continuum-code simulations and analytical theory, strongly support the conclusion from the earlier continuum-code simulations that ETG tur...
متن کاملGyrokinetic turbulence simulations with kinetic electrons*
Gyrokinetic turbulence simulations are presented with full drift-kinetic electron dynamics including both trapped and passing particle effects. This is made possible by using a generalization of the split-weight scheme �I. Manuilskiy and W. W. Lee, Phys. Plasmas 7, 1381 �2000�� that allows for a variable adiabatic part, as well as use of the parallel canonical momentum formulation. Linear simul...
متن کاملParticle-in-cell simulations of electron transport from plasma turbulence: recent progress in gyrokinetic particle simulations of turbulent plasmas
Recent progress in gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulations of turbulent plasmas using the gyrokinetic toroidal code (GTC) is surveyed. In particular, recent results for electron temperature gradient (ETG) modes and their resulting transport are presented. Also, turbulence spreading, and the effects of the parallel nonlinearity, are described. The GTC code has also been generalized for non-circ...
