Abstract
Plasma particle-in-cell (PIC) codes model the interaction of charged partic les with the surrounding fields, and they have been implemented on many adv anced parallel computers. Recently, many PC clusters which consist of inexp ensive PCs have been developed to do parallel computing, and we also build such a PC cluster. In this paper, we present the implementation of a parall el plasma PIC code on our PC cluster using MPI, PGHPF and JavaMPI. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
