How to Compute the Plasma Particles Movement using a Special-Purpose Computer for Gravitational Many-Body Problems

Abstract

A movement simulation of the plasma particles is done by using the super parallel computer GRAPE-6. The plasma diffusion phenomena and the plasma oscillation simulated by GRAPE-6 are corresponded to the theoretical value. GRAPE-6 can calculate Coulomb interaction using 100000 particles 4000 times faster than the Pentium4-1.6GHz CPU.
