abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">We describe a relativistic semi-Lagrangian scheme for the numerical solution
of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system. The implementation strategy on a modern
non-unified memory access (NUMA) architecture using the OpenMP framework
is discussed. We demonstrated that close to perfect scaling can be obtained on modern
many-core, multi-socket systems. Application of this code to the problem of relativistic
generation of high-harmonic laser radiation is demonstrated. The results are compared
to particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, indicating in particular that for warm plasma the
Vlasov simulation is superior. We discuss the impact of plasma temperature on the
radiation spectrum and show that the efficiency of harmonic generation depends on
the plasma temperature.</p>},
