Implementation of parallel plasma particle-in-cell codes on PC cluster
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasma particle-in-cell (PIC) codes model the interaction of charged particles with the surrounding fields, and they have been implemented on many advanced parallel computers. Recently, many PC clusters which consist of inexpensive PCs have been developed to do parallel computing, and we also build such a PC cluster. In this paper, we present the implementation of a parallel plasma PIC code on our PC cluster using MPI, PGHPF and JavaMPI. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملParallelization of plasma simulation codes: gridless finite size particle versus particle in cell approach
The main features of gridless finite-size-particle codes are examined and compared with those of particle-in-cell ones, from the point of view of the performances that can be obtained, with respect to both the spatial-resolution level and the efficiency of parallel particle simulations. The particle-decomposition parallelization strategy is discussed, and its implementation in the framework of ...
