Abstract
A three-dimensional, relativistic, electromagnetic particle simulation code is parallelized in distributed memories by High Performance Fortran (HPF). In this code, the “ Exact Charge Conservation Scheme” is used as a method for calculating current densities. In this paper, some techniques to optimize this code for a vector-parallel supercomputer are presented. In particular, methods for parallelization and vectorization are discussed. Examination of the code is also made on multi-node jobs. The results of test runs show high efficiency of the code.
