Abstract: Development of experimental supercomputer software for simulation of semiconductor nanostructure media characteristics for ultrafast light modulation in communication systems based on fiber-optic communication lines has been performed by the authors. The process of creation of the software in the C++ programming language from source code in the Matlab programming language is described. The problems that were uncounted are listed and solutions are suggested. In the second part of the article the results of computer experiments are presented. The results show that the developed software is more that 30 times faster than the original code in Matlab on a single-core computer and is highly scalable on a supercomputer.

Key words and phrases: high performance computing, supercomputer simulation, parallel programming, program transformation, Matlab.
