Resumen:
PIC methods are one of the most used methods in plasma simulations. Wepresent a comprehensible evaluation of the PIC code performance on four current parallelplatforms: IBM PowerPC, Intel Nehalem (SMP), Intel Sandy Bridge (SMP) and ARMGPU. The behavior of computational algorithms and data structures are analyzed to deducewhich code optimizations will make the best use of each platform.
