摘要：
Recent innovations in large-scale 3-D kinetic simulations along with advanced visualization techniques are facilitating new scientific discoveries into the basic physics of collisionless magnetic reconnection. Present supercomputers are now fully capable of exploring the dynamics of large-scale electron-positron plasmas, whereas the next generation will extend this capability to allow first-principle simulations of magnetic reconnection in electron-proton plasmas.
