Parallelizing AT with open multi-processing and MPI 后印本

摘要: Simulating charged particle motion through the elements is necessary to understand modern particle accelerators. The particle numbers and the circling turns in a synchrotron are huge, and a simulation can be time-consuming. Open multi-processing (OpenMP) is a convenient method to speed up the computing of multi-cores for computers based on share memory model. Using message passing interface (MPI) which is based on non-uniform memory access architecture, a coarse grain parallel algorithm is set up for the Accelerator Toolbox (AT) for dynamic tracking processes. The computing speedup of the tracking process is 3.77 times with a quad-core CPU computer and the speed almost grows linearly with the number of CPU.
