This report is on a small test problem within the context of a larger long-term research project. GPUs are increasingly popular for particle methods, due to the readily apparent parallelism inherent to N-Body problems. Particle-In-Cell is a popular scheme for exploring systems in plasma physics. We hope to explore a small sample problem in order to gauge the viability of using PyCUDA to run interactive-scale particle simulations on a GPU for use in our research.
