Abstract

A three-dimensional full electromagnetic particle-in-cell (PIC) code, TRISTAN (Tridimensional Stanford) code, has been parallelized using High Performance Fortran (HPF) as a RPM (Real Parallel Machine). In the simulation, the simulation domains are decomposed in one-dimension, and both the particle and field data located in each domain that we call the sub-domain are distributed on each processors. Both the particle and field data on a sub-domain is needed by the neighbor sub-domains and thus communications between the sub-domains are inevitable. Our simulation results using HPF exhibits the promising applicability of the HPF communications to a large scale scientific computing such as 3D particle simulations.
