Abstract

These paper overviews a numerical parallel approach to the thermal phenomena analysis at the nanoscale level. We are assuming that the effect of a single electron can be important to the thermal phenomena linked to a nano-device. To illustrate this importance, we are considering the single electron transistor and we are defining the governing equation from which is possible to do so. Predicting that the thermal analysis of a nanoscale device takes a lot of computations, we are presenting a plan of use of the parallel computing environment
