Computational plasma physics and supercomputers, revision 1
Abstract
The supercomputers of the 80's which are 10 to 100 times more powerful than today's machines are introduced. The range of physics modeling in the fusion program is outlined. New machine architecture will influence particular models, but parallel processing poses new programming difficulties. Increasing realism in simulations will require better numerics and more elaborate mathematical models.
