Resolution of the Vlasov-Maxwell system by PIC discontinuous Galerkin method on GPU with OpenCL

We present an implementation of a Vlasov-Maxwell solver for multicore processors. The Vlasov equation describes the evolution of charged particles in an electromagnetic field, solution of the Maxwell equations. The Vlasov equation is solved by a Particle-In-Cell method (PIC), while the Maxwell sy...
