Development and performance analysis of a UPC Particle-in-Cell code

摘要

The development and the implementation of a Particle-in-Cell code written inthe Unified Parallel C (UPC) language for plasma simulations with applicationto astrophysics and fusion nuclear energy machines are presented. A simple onedimensional electrostatic Particle-in-Cell code has been developed first toinvestigate the implementation details in the UPC language, and second to studythe UPC performance on parallel computers. The initial simulations of plasmaswith the UPC Particle-in-Cell code and a study of parallel speed-up of the UPCcode up to 128 cores are shown.
