Chapter 5
Parallelization of the Wigner Monte Carlo Simulator

This chapter first outlines the possibilities to parallelize the Wigner Ensemble Monte Carlo (WEMC) algorithm to motivate the parallelization approach. Thereafter, a detailed discussion of the spatial domain decomposition approach is given, along with results demonstrating its parallel scaling performance in one- and two-dimensional simulations.
