Abstrakt: Numerical simulations based on PIC technique like the SPICE2 model developed at IPP ASCR are often used in tokamak plasma physics to investigate the interaction of edge plasma with plasma-facing components. The SPICE2 model has been parallelised with the exception of the Poisson equation solver which considerably slows down the simulations. It is now being upgraded to a parallelised version to be efficient enough to perform more demanding tasks like the ITER tokamak baseline scenario edge plasma whose conditions like high density (up to 1020 m−3) and low temperature (1–2 eV) result in simulations taking several months to compute. Performance and scaling are compared for different cases in order to choose the optimal candidate for aforementioned applications.
