Abstract: Department of Space Physics IEP SAS uses high-performance computing at cosmophysical simulations in several areas dealing with particles around the Earth, in the heliosphere and the Galaxy. Among the main issues may be mentioned calculations of particles trajectories in the Earth's geomagnetic field, distribution and modulation of the energy spectrum of particles in the heliosphere, particle acceleration at shock waves and the simulation of particle interactions of cosmic rays with the Earth's atmosphere, carried out under the JEM-EUSO experiment.
