A vector code for the numerical simulation of cosmic strings and flux vortices in superconductors on the ETA-10

Abstract
We present a FORTRAN-77 code for the simulation of the dynamical interactions of cosmic strings. This code also simulates the interactions of tubes of magnetic flux trapped in a superconducting material. The code has been written to take advantage of the vector architecture and data motion features of the ETA-10 supercomputer; however, it is written entirely in standard FORTRAN-77 so that it is quite portable and may also be run on scalar machines for testing and development.

Title of program: VX
Catalogue Id: ABJD_v1_0

Nature of problem
Simulation of the motion of topological defects in the early universe or tubes of magnetic flux in a superconductor.
