pic, a MATLAB code which uses the Particle In Cell (PIC) method to simulate the motion of electrically charged particles past a plate.
The particle in cell method is appropriate for modeling the behavior of a low-density plasma. Plasmas at high density are modeled using magnetohydrodynamics instead.
This program is intended as a starting point for making a parallel version.
The computer code and data files described and made available on this web page are distributed under the MIT license
pic is available in a MATLAB version.
fft_serial, a MATLAB code which demonstrates the computation of a Fast Fourier Transform, and is intended as a starting point for developing a parallel version using OpenMP.
fire_simulation, a MATLAB code which simulates a forest fire over a rectangular array of trees, starting at a single random location. It is intended as a starting point for the development of a parallel version.
heated_plate, a MATLAB code which solves the steady state heat equation in a 2D rectangular region, and is intended as a starting point for implementing an OpenMP parallel version.
md, a MATLAB code which carries out a molecular dynamics simulation, and is intended as a starting point for implementing an OpenMP parallel version.
poisson, a MATLAB code which computes an approximate solution to the Poisson equation in a rectangle, and is intended as the starting point for the creation of a parallel version.
prime, a MATLAB code which counts the number of primes between 1 and N, intended as a starting point for the creation of a parallel version.
quad, a MATLAB code which approximates an integral using a quadrature rule, and is intended as a starting point for parallelization exercises.
search_test, a MATLAB code which searches the integers from A to B for a value J such that F(J) = C. this version of the program is intended as a starting point for a parallel approach.
