Abstract
We discuss the implementation of one- and two-dimensional electrostatic,
relativistic Particle-in-Cell plasma simulation codes in High Performance
Fortran. We describe commonly used particle and field grid decomposition
methods in PIC codes, and discuss the implementation issues for each method.
We specifically address the useful HPF features that ease the
representation of the PIC codes in HPF and propose new language features
and run-time support library extensions that would be beneficial
in the implementation of PIC codes in HPF.
