Abstract :
Emerging new technologies in plasma simulations allow tracking billions of particles while computing their radiative spectra. We present a visualization of the relativistic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability from a simulation performed with the fully-relativistic particle-in-cell code PIConGPU powered by 18,000 GPUs on the USA´s fastest supercomputer Titan.
