Title
Parallelization of Space Plasma Particle Simulation
Abstract
This paper describes parallelization of the space plasma particle simulation program KEMPOI and shows its performance on five different platforms. One of our goals is to solve the Electrostatic Solitary Wave (ESW) problem by intensive computer simulations, which previously took about 1 month for a single experiment (107 particles, 104 time steps). The parallelized version performs the same calculation in 3 hours and a bigger one (2.7 x 108 particles, 1.6 x 104 time steps) in about 8 hours on our 256-processor Hitachi SR2201 parallel computer. It has made systematic real-world space plasma particle simulations feasible.
