General Geometry PIC for MIMD Computers

Abstract

New relativistic PIC algorithms using body fitted for modelling microwave sources in two and three dimensions have been derived. A parallel computer benchmarking program using a multiblock implementation of the two dimensional algorithms has been written. Test computations performed on the IPSC computer at Phillips Laboratory have demonstrated the MIMD computers can be efficiently used to model devices with complex geometry.
