Abstract

Filmification of methods is an approach to find new formats for program and data/knowledge representation. It is also to create a basis for specifying and developing a new generation of programming environments. Within this approach various algorithms are analyzed and represented as cyberFilms where special visual super-symbols (icons) are introduced for defining meaning of the cyberFilm frames. In this paper, the filmification of methods is applied for particle-in-cells algorithms. Results demonstrate a promising compactness of the program representation, covering technical details of parallel implementation and an effectiveness of an open set of icons.
