Abstract

Particle in cell (PIC) algorithm is a widely used method in plasma physics to study the trajectories of charged particles under electromagnetic fields. The PIC algorithm is computationally intensive and its time requirements are proportional to the number of charged particles involved in the simulation. The focus of the paper is to parallelize the PIC algorithm on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). We present several performance trade-offs related to small shared memory and atomic operations on the GPU to achieve high performance.

An efficient mixed-precision, hybrid CPU-GPU implementation of a nonlinearly implicit one-dimensional particle-in-cell algorithm

Recently, an implicit, nonlinearly consistent, energy- and charge-conserving one-dimensional (1D) particle-in-cell method has been proposed for multi-scale, full-f kinetic simulations [G. Chen et al., J. Comput. Phys. 230 (18) (2011)]. The method ...
Accelerating PQMRCGSTAB algorithm on GPU
