Implementation of parallel algorithms for 2D vortex dynamics simulation in type-II superconductors

摘要

This report discusses the implementation of two parallel algorithms on adistributed memory system for studying vortex dynamics in type-IIsuperconductors. These algorithms are the same as that implemented forclassical molecular dynamics simulation with short-range forces (Plimpton, J.Comp. Phys. Vol.117, 1 (1995)). The run time for parallel algorithm is testedon a system containing upto 4 processors and compared with that for vectorizedalgorithm on a single processor for system size ranging from 120 to 4800vortices.
