| Abstract: | The UCLA Parallel PIC Framework (UPIC) has been developed to provide trusted components for the rapid construction of new, parallel Particle-in-Cell (PIC) codes. The Framework uses object-based ideas in Fortran95, and is designed to provide support for various kinds of PIC codes on various kinds of hardware. The focus is on student programmers. The Framework supports multiple numerical methods, different physics approximations, different numerical optimizations and implementations for different hardware. It is designed with "defensive" programming in mind, meaning that it contains many error checks and debugging helps. Above all, it is designed to hide the complexity of parallel processing. It is currently being used in a number of new Parallel PIC codes. |
