Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to discuss possible algorithmic choices and hardware configurations for the implementation of efficient particle-based simulation programs. By using a population decomposition scheme, we modified the scalar version of the algorithm in order to improve the efficiency of our hybrid particle-based simulation engine. Using a Beowulf-class computer cluster, we measured parallel speed-up with different algorithmic configurations, and related it to the inter-process communication hardware.
