Description
In the present chapter, coding techniques of PIC and Monte-Carlo simulation codes, especially parallelization and speed-up technique are discussed taking the analysis of MHD and transport phenomena in plasmas as examples. The point in the PIC method is hybrid parallelization in the particle decomposition and domain decomposition and the point in the Monte-Carlo method is parallelization of random number generation and reduction in the memory access time.
