Abstract :
This paper documents the changes required to permit ICEPIC to scale efficiently to the thousand CPU range. Substantial changes were made to the communication paradigm within the code, so that only one synchronization point is now required. This led to increase of a factor four in the number of processors ICEPIC can productively use on real world problems
