To evaluate the effectiveness of DDD, we performed test simulations with a model in which four particle clusters are non-uniformly distributed with different velocities. We confirmed that load imbalance among processes caused by non-uniform plasma distribution was successfully resolved by DDD and the computational time becomes almost half of that for simulation of the same model without using DDD.}, title = {Development of Parallelized AMR-PIC Plasma Simulation Code with Dynamic Domain Decomposition}, volume = {8}, year = {2013} }
