Plasma physics modeling and the Cray-2 multiprocessor
John Killeen · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 1985
The importance of computer modeling in the magnetic fusion energy research program is discussed. The need for the most advanced supercomputers is described. To meet the demand for more powerful scientific computers to solve larger and more complicated problems, the computer industry is developing multiprocessors. The role of the Cray-2 in plasma physics modeling is discussed with some examples. 28 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
