Porting the grid-based 3D+3V hybrid-Vlasov kinetic plasma simulation
Vlasiator to heterogeneous GPU architectures
Vlasiator is a space plasma simulation code which models near-Earth ion-kinetic dynamics in three spatial and three velocity dimensions. It is highly parallelized, modeling the Vlasov equation directly through the distribution function, discretized on a Cartesian grid, instead of the more common particle-in-cell approach. Modeling near-Earth space, plasma properties span …
